Seven Perfect Things by Catherine Ryan Hyde 🌟🌟🌟🌟Being a total animal lover I really enjoyed ready this book. Abby a child of 13 years old is the main character and an absolutely delight. I find after reading a mystery thriller I like to change to a lighter read Catherine Ryan Hyde has never disappointed me with any of her books.
Four StarsWhenever I need a book for a palate cleanser, just something that will be a guaranteed pleasant, good and relaxing read, my go to author is Catherine Ryan Hyde. So when I saw this book involving puppies, it was a no brainer to take the plunge.It's the last couple of days of school and 13 year old Abby encounters a truck where someone throws over a bulging sack into the river. She notices that what's inside is moving. Abby is on the swim team at school and isn't afraid of the water, so
I’ve never read a book by Catherine Ryan Hyde. But I just couldn’t resist that book cover with those beautiful puppies. This is a sweet story about a 13 year old from an unhappy family that rescues 7 puppies that someone throws into a river. She can’t take them home, so she finds other living arrangements for them. Those living arrangements happen to be a vacant shed on the vacation property of a man who has just lost his wife. “Well, it turns out it’s impossible to be unhappy when you’re lying
4★“In that split second, Abby saw the sack move. But not move the way the current moved it. Something jerky, from inside. It sliced into her belly like a cold knife.”If you’ve read the promotional blurb, you already know that young Abby is going to rescue a litter of pups who have been flung into the river. They are just lucky that she happens to be a strong swimmer on her school swim team.This is a warm, feel-good story about a young girl, her lovely mum, Mary, and her dreadful father Stan. His...

Thanks to NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing for an egalley in exchange for an honest review A man who loses the love of his life. A teenage girl that rescues seven puppies. A woman that married young and feels trapped in her marriage. In this heartwarming tale from the Queen of tugging at my heartstrings, love is found in the most unexpected places. Hard to believe that up until a few years ago I had never read any of Catherine Ryan Hyde's books and she has quickly become one of my favourite
4.5 really, but a book about 7 puppies?I really like most of the Catherine Ryan Hyde books I've read, but this one was special. The above mentioned puppies, a 13 year old girl who rescues them from drowning, her Mum and a good man who helps her with the puppies and more. And one very bad man who also happens to be Abbie's father.So what is there not to like. A few tissues along the way, but recommended anyway.
The story of these perfect puppies, tossed in a river by an abusive man, captured my heart, as did the three hurting characters who rally around them. Abby, 13, rescues the puppies and takes them to a shelter, which has no room. She hides them in a cabin in the woods, where Elliot, a grieving widower, discovers them. Abby’s father is a cruel man, and Abby and her mother Mary suffer greatly because of him. When Elliot meets Mary, Abby so wishes they could find new life together. A poignant story
