Penny's Loft (The Collected Stories of Ramsbolt Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Jennifer M. Lane (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars (25)
Penny's entire life has been a straight path to becoming a surgeon, but the road is full of red tape and stressful bureaucracy. If she can make it through the next semester, the course ahead will be clear. But her path comes to an abrupt halt when she inherits an antique store and a cat named Jake in the tiny town of Ramsbolt, Maine.

Eager to put the obstacle behind her, she rushes to the cozy town only to find she's inherited more than tables and chairs and a cat from the grandmother she never knew. There's also a mountain of debt and a shop so full she can barely walk.

With only five days to sell it all and get back to school and her residency, the deck is stacked against her. If she fails, her future will be put on hold and her student loans will enter repayment before she starts her career. And Ramsbolt has no need for old furniture or outsiders. Especially the kind who don't want to be there.

As she sifts through the contents of the antique store - through the mixed-up jumble of her family's past and Ramsbolt's antiques - she must face old truths: There's no such thing as a straight path, the road is paved with choices, and your destination isn't one of them.

    I so want to go to Ramsbolt Maine. I miss that small town vibe and this book captures it perfectly. Penny loses her dream only to find a new one in an unexpected place.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A worthy standalone follow-up to the series' first book
    Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    The second installment of Ms. Lane's Collected Stories of Ramsbolt, Maine introduces us to Penny, another outsider drawn to the down-on-its-luck New England town due to unfortunate circumstances. Unlike Logan, the protagonist from the first book, Penny has a family connection to the town, one she would prefer to forget and tries to ignore even while in Ramsbolt struggling to resolve an unwanted inheritance. Through Ms. Lane's well-crafted descriptions and dialogue, we meet new settings and townsfolk of Ramsbolt while also getting quite moving glimpses into Penny's less than ideal childhood, the source of her determination to both save the dwindling prospects of completing her medical training and remain a stranger in the town she can't seem to escape. I greatly enjoyed learning more about Ramsbolt and its inhabitants through Penny's palpable frustrations of trying to isolate herself and return to her med student life in the city.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2019
    Format: Paperback
    Penny was dead set on becoming a surgeon. She wanted to heal people and make sure no kid lost their mom, like she lost hers. As she’s going through medical school and working at the hospital she is always tired and has gotten behind on her work hours for the semester. Her grandmother, that she only met once, died and later she found out she inherited an antique shop with a cat.

    Needing to clear things up with the estate so she can get back to her life she finds things out about her past. Also, she gets some unsettling news. Will she be able to clear it all up to get back to her life or will her need to heal people come in another way ?

    The first half of the book at time was a struggle to read but well worth the push to read the second half. I also would’ve liked to know if she figured out about the paintings in the attic. I know as the reader but it never says if she made the connection.

    I received this ARC book for my honest and voluntary review.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Charming, relatable, heartfelt—as always!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2019

    Once again we get an outsider’s angle on Ramsbolt’s small town life and fixed mentality, this time through someone who has inherited the townspeople’s past. Familiar characters get added depth, and new characters bloom on the page. Penny’s frenetic, stress-heavy, achievement-driven life will be relatable to many, and it’s a rewarding feeling as the slow pace and well-worn values of a rural town starts to unravel that modern mindset. I also love how different Penny feels from the other Ramsbolt protagonists so far—even in the same setting, it’s fascinating to explore how a different psychology and background can bring new meaning to familiar things. Like Lane’s other novels, the prose is smooth and easy to read, rich with detail and symbolism.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating
    Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2019
    Format: Kindle
    I confess I had a hard time getting into this book. Penny seemed so hardened by life and somewhat single sighted about life. She was not what I would describe as a likable person. Sure she was focused on her medical training, and presumably very good at her chosen field, but she wasn't doing much more than going through the motions outside of her hospital shifts. Even there she sloughed off paperwork. Her apartment sounded like a filthy mess with clothes and whatnot dumped all over floor and furniture! How could this person meet the demanding standards of a surgeon?

    When she goes to Ramsbolt to close up her grandmother's shop and settle her debts, I felt sorry for Penny's naivety. I noticed quickly that her 3 days were slipping away and she would miss her deadline, but I never thought it would go quite the way it did!

    A wonderful story that shows how people can readjust their attitudes and implement all kinds of changes! Heartwarming and an honest story about life. It was captivating!

    5.0 out of 5 stars healing the healer
    Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2019
    Format: Kindle
    Penny's always had a plan for her life, and it did not include inheriting an old curiosity shop in the border town of Ramsbolt Maine. But it comes with a cat. For the sake of the cat her new neighbor persuades her to put her medical residency on hold and show up-- and at least read the will!

    It turns out that there are a lot of important things that Penny has been denying herself in a single-minded drive for the future, at the expense of her own well-being. What kind of healer would she be if she refuses to take the most basic care of herself--and of course Sammy the cat? It turns out that making the most of this inheritance is exactly the therapy she needs. It ends up benefiting everyone she encounters in the course of doing it too.

    Healing takes many forms, and Penny is definitely a healer.

    4.0 out of 5 stars How do you define success?
    Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2019
    Format: Paperback
    Penny is the type of person who wants to sooth the hurt of others. Medical school seemed a natural fit and she is at the top of her class, but she is also running ragged, exhausted, and behind on her hours as semester deadlines loom- and she suddenly finds she has inherited an antique store along with its considerable debt and finicky feline resident.

    For perhaps the first time, Penny is forced to examine her life, her values, her relationships, her choices. Might there be another way for her to use her gift of healing?

    Filled with raw emotion, this book follows her journey though self-discovery. The stress was palpable in the first half of the book, at times making it difficult to read, but push through, the second half is worth it.

    This is book 2 in a series but can be read as a standalone.
