Very much in the same pattern as the others in the series, but if you're hooked, you're hooked. And I'm hooked. I wouldn't recommend this for everyone--nothing much really happens and although there's a teeny tiny bit of plotted uncertainty that runs through them all, it's not what makes the stories enjoyable.
Sure, there's a woman with an oddly unpredictable memory problem. Sure there's an accident that puts normally indefatigable Ruth out of commission for a while. And of course there's a strange weirdness with Ellie's daughter that keeps her guessing. But none of those are enough to make a story worthwhile. What does that, for me, is the day-to-day story of a life I'd love to be living. Traveling around the country in a camper, seeing new places and things, hiking a lot of trails, and hanging out with a true friend. That's the life for me!
