Review: The Road to Tender Hearts: A Novel

The Road to Tender Hearts: A Novel The Road to Tender Hearts: A Novel by Annie Hartnett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Full Disclosure: I received an Advanced Reader's Copy of The Road to Tender Hearts: A Novel by Annie Hartnett from Ballantine Books via NetGalley.  This book is expected to be published on April 29, 2025.

Annie Hartnett has a way of writing books that I just love to read.  I think some of it is her dark sense of humor, but I mostly think it is the way she incorporates animals into her stories.  They aren't just set dressing.  The Road to Tender Hearts delivered on that again.  I've done my share of road trips, but I don't think any of them have been quite this eventful.  It reminded me a bit of National Lampoon's Vacation in that way.  This is a little bit of spoilers, but the part about the soap opera convention was really spot-on.  It makes me think Annie may have been to one...for research?  If you want to read something that will lightly tug at your heartstrings but will mostly make you laugh, you will want to get a copy of this as soon as you can.  

Bonus points for Pancakes who should have his own series.
