99 problems, and a book ain't one

   Mollywood started us off only a few months ahead from where Good Wood ended, which was perfect, in my opinion. It was far enough that we got to see Joe and Molly settled into their relationship, but not too far ahead that they weren’t still trying to figure out how to make it a successful one. I loved that most of their problems were so relatable. Relationships, even the best of them, have their struggles, blending and sharing your life with someone else is no easy feat. I love how that was portrayed here. Sometimes it’s not the big dramas that tear people apart, but the small things we can’t seem to compromise or find common ground on, that snowball out of control. I thought it was awesome that this was focused on rather than the typical trend we see so often now, in contemporary romances/New Adult, of some girl from the male lead’s past coming in to make waves for the new couple. It made this book stand out to me doing a more subtle relatable conflict.

I loved getting to see all the progress that had happened with Molly and Joe both individually as well. Joe was in a much better place emotionally than he was in Good Wood, and that was accentuated even more by how he dealt with problems or stressful situations in Mollywood. His character growth really shined in this book. We also got to see so many exciting things happening for Molly, in both her personal and business world. It was nice to see a little more of how her past shaped the way she was dealing with her present relationship. Good Wood was primarily about their pasts and them attempting to deal with their demons and start something new. Where as Mollywood was centered around their present and them trying to build a future together. I really appreciated that transition. It was also fun seeing their blended families coming together and some of the issues that come from that as well. Holidays especially can be interesting to say the least, can’t they?!

All in all this book read like the best kind of comfort food. It was filling and delicious, and just the reprieve needed after a long day. Speaking of inviting and delicious, did I smell a Mac and Kelly book cooking?! I hope so!!
