Olive, Again by Elizabeth Strout

Oh, Olive. I've missed you. Reading this book was truly like reconnecting with an old friend. Olive, Again is the sequel to Strout's Olive Kitteridge, which was a wonderful book from a few years ago. Olive may not be the most fun-loving, joyful character, but she is so real! She lives in a small town in Maine, and this novel (like the previous one) includes chapters about several of the local townspeople who are a part of Olive's life. Of course, Olive is the main character in the book, but there are chapters where she is only a minor mention. 

I loved this book. Just loved it. It was one of those rare books that the further I read into it, the more I enjoyed it. Please read it, BT, if you haven't already.
