The Treehouse on Dog River Road by Catherine Drake

 


When her life seems to be falling apart, Hannah accepts a job for the summer taking care of her sister's two kids while her and her husband travel for work.  How hard can it be to take care of two young kids especially with them in summer camp all day.  This will give Hannah plenty of time to rethink her life, next career and new city.

The nights and weekends with the kids are full and busy but Hannah realizes she's going to need a project to occupy herself while the kids are in camp.  She dreams up a treehouse for her niece and nephew and once she gets approval from her sister the building begins.  There's a new neighbour next door and she should probably let them know what she's up to.

The last thing Hannah expected to do this summer is to fall for a guy.  But it's fine.  He's just a summer fling.  No big deal.  Except he's perfect in every way.  But Hannah's determined not to make life decisions based on a guy.  This time she's following her dreams.  Vermont is nice but she really thinks Denver is where it's at.

The Treehouse on Dog River Road seemed very predictable and in some ways it was but there were definitely parts that weren't predictable.  Overall it was a really great story with some interesting twists and turns.
