Inheriting Edith by Zoe Fishman

I had very low expectations for this book which it exceeded.  I think it was on a cheap books list in the Nook...when I don't have any particular next book in mind I'm a sucker for the under $3 cheap read that doesn't require me to do anything except hand over a couple of bucks and hit "Download".  What's not to like?  Well, sometimes the book.  This one was better than average.

Cin-opsis:  Liza, Maggie's estranged friend, leaves our heroine her house-with the caveat that the friend's mother (Edith) comes along with the property.  Maggie takes the offer and hopes for the best.  This set-up lends itself to certain comedic tropes around multi-generational living.  While Fishman is not 100% successful, she largely avoids the predictable and tells a funny, touching story.  Both women come to know and appreciate Liza in a new way through her endowment as they grow into their new relationship as "property mates".

Rating:  #5 Good Enough
