Originally reviewed for Chick Lit Central (www.chicklitcentral.com)
Just the synopsis alone brought me into Lilly’s story, given the unique and bizarre situation she finds herself in; dealing with dead bodies isn’t customary for a lawyer. Yet while navigating through that situation, she ends up dealing with an entirely different scenario when she’s with her best friend Fae, a scenario that ends up connecting the dots to what’s going on in her small hometown.
If anything, Double Double was a good reminder in the fact that it’s hard to run away from the past. It’s something that both Lilly, Fae, and the rest of the Posse crew have had to deal with for decades. I appreciated the camaraderie within the Posse; friendships that have been in place since Lilly was a teen, and really, one of the few groups of people she feels she can trust. There are a lot of methods in place to attempt to cover up bad events that affect everyone within the Posse, but as with most things, the truth comes out, eventually.
Part empowering, part mystery, I felt like Lilly’s story gave a really great balance between those two characteristics, and there were many aspects that could be relatable in terms of someone’s own struggles in dealing with an abuse of power. And while many of us haven’t come face to face with misplaced and poorly discovered dead bodies in a cemetery, or anywhere, really, so much of the fun was waiting to see how that would turn out for Lilly, and what it all meant for the overall plot of the story. I really enjoyed Double Double Boots in Trouble, and considering this is my first trip into The MisAdventures of Miss Lilly series, I look forward to checking out the rest of the books in the group!
