Synopsis

What stage of grief is it when your grandmother's ghost keeps popping up on your electronic devices? Denial? For RayAnne that seems to be the stage for launching the second season of Fishing!—in New Zealand. Ready or not, she is taking public television's first all-women fishing talk show on the road, putting the cold Minnesota winter in the rearview mirror—which, it turns out, Gran is haunting, too.

RayAnne and her indefatigable producer Cassi set out across New Zealand in search of noteworthy women who fish, including a skipjack boat captain navigating sexist harbors;a writer of historical suffragette fiction (which is, apparently, a thing); and a reclusive Maori octogenarian who ties fishing flies for dignitaries. Their stories, and a good dose of the country's history, are almost enough to take the edge off RayAnne's homesickness and grief, to say nothing of jetlag. Meanwhile, the romantic and family entanglements she left behind at home haven't exactly come untangled in her absence.

You'll come to love Rayanne, our accidental talk-show host, in this tale with a lighthearted surface and surprising depths.

Goodreads review by Daphne on October 11, 2021

A romp of a novel. A tribute to the tomboy in every girl, whether you let her out or not. It makes you want to travel and fish and flirt and embrace what comes next. Sure you have a hiccup or two along the way ; inquisitive TSA agents , a hunk of a boyfriend too good to be true, an assistant turned......more

Goodreads review by Cindy on January 20, 2022

First book in this series I rated 4 stars but I just could not feel the characters connections in this one. They felt too forced to blend in with the comedy. I did not expect for book 1‘s characters to be left behind basically for this new set. This book moved slow and did not hold my attention well......more
