Helpful Score: 2
I read this because I enjoyed the author's other book, "Falling Out of Bed." That was an endearing story about a woman who must be the caregiver to her dying father. "What To Keep" was a disappointment. Our principle character Juliette, a 40-year-old out-of-work Las Vegas card dealer inherits a house in North Carolina. She wants to sell this house, but a "mamie" character arrives and encourages Juliette to stay. I didn't believe characters and did not care about them: the matronly Black housekeeper, the not-quite love interest, nor the writer of a found diary. There is a happy ending, and the moral of this tale is to appreciate what you do have.
