Looking for Leroy by Melody CarlsonMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
A lovely contemporary story about second chances for characters who is closer to their 50’s.
This cover is gorgeous and drew my attention with first glimpse.
Brynna and Leroy both have gone through so much joy and loss during the past 30 years but you never forget your first love. The journey of find themselves in this later season of life, working through this loss to be whole again and to finding each other again was just as beautiful story to read as the setting of the Sonoma region described.
Some of the secondary characters I loved (Sophia) and some I disliked (Judith), but they all played a part in Leroy and Brynna’s journey to a second chance at love. I absolute adored the dog, Babe.

About the book:
It's official: Brynna Phillips is done with men. They only break your heart. But just when she makes this declaration, her friend Jan convinces Brynna to join her on a camping vacation in Sonoma Wine Country. As they wind their way toward their destination, spanking-new mini camper in tow, Brynna recalls her teenage camp romance with a boy named Leroy. How can it have been nearly 30 years ago? All she remembers is that Leroy was a genuinely good guy and that his family owned a vineyard--in Sonoma. She doesn't even remember his last name. Jan insists they look for him, and the search begins.
Beyond the slim chance they'd ever be able to find him are questions that have haunted Brynna for decades, including What is the point of digging up the past? and Can Leroy ever forgive me for losing touch?
Bestselling author Melody Carlson invites you on a trip to rediscover the carefree days of youth and, just maybe, to get a second chance at love.
