The Borrowed Life
of Frederick Fife by Anna Johnston
This book was easy to love.
Frederick was an endearing character who finds himself near homelessness
when he stumbles into Bernard’s life, literally.
The writing was humorous, even laugh-at-loud funny. The characters were lovable. Frederick’s attitude toward his new life and
good fortune are refreshing. He changes
the lives of people around him by loving them well. In short, there was much to enjoy about this
book.
The reason I gave it four stars instead of five was due to
the language. It was a bit cruder than I
would have liked, but I understand that is a personal preference. I do think the author could have achieved the
same effect without the four-letter words.
If you are a fan of lovable characters, clever plots, happy
endings, and funny situations, you will enjoy this book. I am grateful to HarperCollins Publishers for
the arc in exchange for my honest review.
