A Carter Carol by Nicole Parker

3 stars

I haven’t liked Carter since I met him in Mappy’s book, but apparently even the most hardened of opinions can be changed…..

Seeing one of the baseball card girls getting her happy ending, or at least starting to, was really nice! They had such a terrible thing happen so I’m definitely rooting for them, but the ending felt unsatisfying to me. It left me feeling like I was missing some book since there are a lot of unanswered questions and still no happy ending for either Dotty/Carter or Mappy/Miguel.

Can I just say, though, that Miguel is an absolute saint! I cam definitely empathise with his pain and the struggle he has with the solution that is put in place for Carter.

It was fun seeing some of the other characters coming back and making appearances here. I love this series so much because it’s like your favourite characters are never fully gone. Sometimes they’re lurking in someone else’s story or being reasons for things that happen to others and that’s really cool!

Maybe Nicole is setting up for a third installment in Mappy and Carter’s story and that’s why the ending is so vague. Only time will tell.
