Review of Bobbie Lamont
Reviewed by Christine Nguyen for Readers' Favorite
Bobbie Lamont is about an author named Bobbie Lamont who has written two best-selling memoirs and is a successful free-lance journalist. She attends her 20-year reunion under the stressful circumstances of the breakup of her twelve-year marriage to her husband, Truman. He has left her for another woman from his office. Bobbie is feeling lonely and depressed, but the year she graduated from Tulane College, the summer of 1990, was a huge year for her – her on and off again college professor lover breaks up with her after graduation, and she meets a younger guy still in high school who she madly falls in love with. Twenty years later, a novel written about her love affair by her former younger flame, Miller Hoffman, sets off a series of events that leads Bobbie to discover her heart again.
Author Zelmer Wilson writes Bobbie Lamont with a naturalness that makes Bobbie a very likeable character, with her chain smoking and borderline alcoholism with vodka tonics. She is a protagonist that many women can relate to due to all her problems in middle age with her life and marriage falling apart. Her daughter, Billie Joe, and Aunt Gina keep scolding her for drinking too much, but Bobbie can’t seem to find a middle ground and is en route to becoming an alcoholic like her mother. This was a very entertaining story that is a light, fun read going down Memory Lane. Bobbie has all the foibles of women, which makes her very relatable to readers. I enjoyed this book and Bobbie.
