Book Review: Necessary Restorations and The Cornerstone (The Walshes #3 and #4) by Kate Canterbary



Necessary Restorations (The Walshes, #3)Necessary Restorations by Kate Canterbary
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book.

I would go as far as to say that this has been my favourite so far in the series. I liked that it looked at some deeper issues with Sam’s character and liked how this played into the development of his relationship with Tiel. This was totally not what I expected of Sam. These initial impression you get of him in previous books is very different to what we see in this book. In previous books he comes across as very socially awkward, almost to the point of seeming that he only fits in with his family members, so I really liked that we got to see another unexpected dimension of his character.

I liked the contrast between Sam and Tiel’s characters: Her boho/hippie style and Sam’s OCD/preppie refinedness. I also like that fact the Tiel didn’t immediately hit it off with Lauren, Andy and Shannon. I think that if she did, things would have seemed too predictable.

This was a really great book and I’m looking forward to reading more of their relationship and characters.

The Cornerstone (The Walshes, #4)The Cornerstone by Kate Canterbary
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As usual this book was fantastic.

I really loved reading Shannon's story, and was interested to see how the relationship would play out between her and Will especially since he would be away a lot.

I liked how the timeline of this story was laid out, with it recapping Shannon's weekends that were referenced in Sam's book. I enjoyed seeing more of Shannon's character and getting to know her better. I also really liked seeing her paired with Will as they are both very stubborn, and they play off each other well.

This one was really fun to read and a great addition to the series.
