What is Interesting Enough about?
Three unexpected aunts. Two last-chance dogs. One aspiring songwriter determined to become more interesting.
After inheriting millions, introverted Allison Theodore purchases an island home in the Pacific Northwest, adopts two dogs, and pursues her most interesting dream—songwriting. Then her eccentric aunts move in, and Allison’s idyllic life becomes too interesting.
While one aunt hustles into managing the household, another tiptoes onto social media, and another flirts with Allison’s crusty neighbor, whose weighty secrets might not be confined to the past. When the inquisitive owner of the island’s grocery market decides to make Allison’s resulting problems his, she defends what she’s always valued most—her self-reliance. But by guarding a treasure she may no longer need, is she missing out on one far more desirable?
A charming island and a pod of endangered whales provide the backdrop for this heartwarming story about second chances, spontaneous family, and steadfast love.
