Almost Too Far continues with Colin and Natalie still happily in-love. They are going to Colin's great grandmother, Helga's, 85th birthday party. A couple of hours into the party, everyone notices that Helga is missing and so is her friend, Stella. Colin, Natalie and the rest of Helga's friends start searching for them and phoning everyone they know trying to find the pair. Natalie calls her girlfriends to help with the search too. Natalie finally tracks Helga to a casino so she takes off to get her. Once she gets there, she see that not only are her friends there but Helga's friends are there too. When Natalie and her friends are together, they always have a great time and it's always funny. But when Helga's friends get in the mix, it's hilarious! The escapades they get into are unbelievable. The adventures of all these ladies are hysterical! The name they have given themselves is terrific - The Female Solidarity Club. Natalie and her friends are great characters and I love the addition of the Silver Female Solidarity Club members (Colin's great grandma and her friends). All of these ladies are so well thought out and developed that you really get to know and love them. And, of course, there is Colin who helps spice everything up.Peart is a very illustrative writer who creates an entire world for her audience to get lost in. Every aspect of this novel is fully developed in a manner that you can’t help but picture.I received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.
