3.50 Stars. This was a nice read. My first by Wheeler and I believe her full length debut. For some reason I thought this was a novella but according to my Kindle it was a full length story and it felt like it. This was a little different than I expected, but I’m a fan of different so I appreciate those aspects. There were a few parts that I felt could have been stronger but it was a sweet read for sure.

This is a story about two bisexual women -either 59 or 60- who work next door to each other 3.50 Stars. This was a nice read. My first by Wheeler and I believe her full length debut. For some reason I thought this was a novella but according to my Kindle it was a full length story and it felt like it. This was a little different than I expected, but I’m a fan of different so I appreciate those aspects. There were a few parts that I felt could have been stronger but it was a sweet read for sure.

This is a story about two bisexual women -either 59 or 60- who work next door to each other in the same building. The main character who’s POV we are in is Marianne. Marianne runs a bakery and owns half the building and the parking lot that is always filled with no parking left for her customers. While she is in a mini parking war with her neighbor, she can’t help but find that same neighbor attractive. Is there a chance at something more for the two women or will bad blood get in the way?

I think the best way to describe this book would be contemporary fiction but with a light romance. I found the romance really took a back seat. The main character Marianne believes she might be asexual, so there are no sex scenes in this book. I just want to make clear that Marianne being asexual has nothing to do with this not having much romance. It was just that much more time was spent on family, food, and the whole parking issue which got more interesting as the book went on. Part of the romance issue was that the main characters would see each other once but then go ages without seeing each other again. Funny enough they actually moved too fast for me in the beginning, but then they slowed down to a snail’s pace. This was a part of the book that I felt could have been stronger. I wanted their relationship to be sturdier with a better connection, and there is plenty of ways to do that without having to add sex scenes.

One thing I really liked was the diversity. This is a very LGBTQ friendly town and it was nice to see. There were multiple bisexual characters, lesbians, trans, and even gender fluid. I also appreciated that the mains were older since we don’t see a ton of characters that are 59, 60. Both had been married to men before and it was nice to see their second chance at love story.

The parking wars part turned into a major storyline. Way bigger than it seemed in the beginning. I liked how the storyline twisted and turned into something different. There was almost a mini baby mystery to figure out about what was going on. Add in some small town politics and a fun court scene and I enjoyed this storyline quite a bit.

Overall, I like this read. It wasn’t the strong romance I was hoping for, but I enjoyed the other storylines. If you are looking for a book with some diversity both in age and sexuality, this is a good choice. It’s different that a lot of books out there, which I see as a good thing.

An ARC was given to me for a honest review.

No Parking was a easy read and a little on the slow side at times. Marianne Windmere owns a bakery and the building it is in. She is having a parking problem in the back of her lot, but assumes because of the restaurant next door. Her neighbor Rana leases out the store next door and has a restaurant. She assumes that the parking is because of the bakery.

Extremely interesting story. Loved the fact that most characters were bisexual. That the story promotes friendship, kindness, respect. From bakery owner who almost lost everything, to gaining not only what was hers, but acquiring love interest as well. All started with Parking war and ended in community coming together.
Honestly, I wish I was living there!
Great story. Might be slow on the beginning, but picks up quarter into the book.

This was really lovely! I have it tagged as romance here but it is really a story about community that is fairly light on romantic love - the two women spend much of the book as friends with some tension. That felt very true to the characters, who are close to 60 and had both been married previously; a new relationship was an intriguing possibility for both of them but not something that would overtake their busy lives. In some ways it was actually kind of refreshing to read a romance novel that This was really lovely! I have it tagged as romance here but it is really a story about community that is fairly light on romantic love - the two women spend much of the book as friends with some tension. That felt very true to the characters, who are close to 60 and had both been married previously; a new relationship was an intriguing possibility for both of them but not something that would overtake their busy lives. In some ways it was actually kind of refreshing to read a romance novel that centered community and family (both biological and found) relationships and didn't turn the love story into the central thing in the characters' well-established lives. But I do wish we'd spent a little more time seeing the relationship develop; it seemed to be on hold for the other plot points to resolve themselves (also something that felt true to the characters and story) and once it took off the book was basically over. We seemed to spend more time on Marianne's tentatively friendly relationship with her ex-husband. Their friendship was sweet and complex and it was cool to see that kind of relationship centered, but it didn't make sense to not give Marianne and Rana the same amount of focus.

You know how in romance and other cozy genres there is often a cute little bakery/coffee shop, with an owner who is tuned into all the town gossip, and when the main character needs a place to go the lovely owner takes them in and maybe even offers them a job? And it never seems to actually take that much work or stress and the characters can close up when they need to do other Plot Stuff? This book is from the perspective of that bakery owner, and it doesn't shy away from showing the work side of the charming small-town institution where you find your found family. There are early mornings, aches and pains, angst about the total absence of a work-life boundary and how much control she really can hand over to her one part-time employee, memories of growing up and not wanting to take over the family business because it took so much time and energy from the older generation.

Speaking of found family, this book felt like a new angle on that idea: it's from the perspective of an older queer lady whose circle of friends has all hit an age and stage in life where they know themselves well. They're the loving established queer community that the kids who need one find. And they learn from the kids; I loved seeing Marianne be so comfortable and familiar with her bisexual identity but exploring the new-to-her idea, brought up by her daughter, that she might be on the asexual spectrum.

Plus there was municipal intrigue! Multiple trips to City Hall! The importance of being kind to the records clerk and the maintenance crew!

Oh, and another thing I have so rarely seen in fiction - the book takes place around Christmas but most of the main characters don't celebrate. I really appreciated seeing Marianne's complicated relationship to the holiday, enjoying the festivity but getting exhausted by how big and all-consuming it is, making her own Christmas-day traditions with her non-Christian community.

So yeah, overall, I didn't love everything about this book but so much of it was an incredibly refreshing take on familiar small-town-story tropes, with a refreshingly diverse cast, that I feel the need to yell about it. ...more

The main character has big “will call the cops on you in your own building” energy and it’s so hard to root for her knowing her prejudice and ignorance allowed her to foster an overblown dislike of her neighbour for no reason.

Also, I’d really like for the author to consider getting targeted beta readers next time, because everything from the one-sided grudge to the hyper-focus on the accent, to this one terrible line: “She wasn’t about to get murdered in the dark over a parking l ...more

It probably says something about my state of mind as much as the writing, but I could feel the tenseness of the situation in my body while reading. Would recommend this book to others!

No Parking reads like the literary embodiment of Writeblr (Tumblr’s writing community) in the best possible way. It’s a place full of rallying cries like “The patriarchy bores me,” “research your diversity”, “everybody is queer and I don’t see any different” and “2020 is when we get to see real women in fiction.” My favourite thing about this book is that it had diversity without being about the fact that it had diversity. It was about diverse characters going about their fully-realised lives.

Th No Parking reads like the literary embodiment of Writeblr (Tumblr’s writing community) in the best possible way. It’s a place full of rallying cries like “The patriarchy bores me,” “research your diversity”, “everybody is queer and I don’t see any different” and “2020 is when we get to see real women in fiction.” My favourite thing about this book is that it had diversity without being about the fact that it had diversity. It was about diverse characters going about their fully-realised lives.

The premise is that neighbouring restaurateurs Marianne and Rana are locked in a feud because each thinks the other is responsible for filling up the common parking lot with their own customers’ vehicles, throttling traffic to the other’s restaurants. They quickly realise that something bigger is afoot and also, well. That the “rivals to lovers” exists for a reason, and Marianne can’t stop facepalming about all the time she wasted grumbling about Rana instead of eating at her restaurant.

I don’t want to say that this author’s niche or thing is writing older main characters in love, but they do it so well. Especially considering the time we live in, I appreciate this reminder that anyone over fifty is still a person like hot damn your heart and brain and imagination doesn’t switch off when you’re closer to retirement age than you are to your local councilman.

That’s the other thing No Parking is about (besides the slow burn dance of older wlw): the politics of living in a small town. Red tapeism and communal goodwill abound, all of which is described less like an infodump and more through the characters’ daily lives. The level of research and attention to detail that goes into the 60k thrillers about renegade ex-military ageing white men or intrepid nerds who will save the day is captured here, except now it’s about middle class chefs putting their heads together to save a family legacy.

It also doesn’t miss a beat to talk about all that’s beloved about Americana: black soldiers in the Civil War, the treatment of veterans after the World Wars versus Vietnam, how little boys grow up to be cops but affection gets you only so far with them. It’s not soapboxing if it’s written as organically as it is here.

Slow, slice-of-life books aren’t usually for me. Neither is the balance of plot and character-drivenness is being tilted heavily on the character side. There were times that I wished the dialogue was snappier and there was a little more conflict. (Not misunderstandings and non-communicativeness conflict; more of the people living with and around people conflict.) But it remains a solid, well-written read. Bring on more romance novels that subvert all the typical tropes of the genre. ...more

What a delightfully cozy romance with an intriguing cast of characters and a wide diversity in a small town setting!

Marianne Windmere hasn’t always owned her family’s nearly century old bakery, but she has for nearly three decades. It’s seen as an institution in the small town of Swanley as much as the town itself. She lives a quiet life rising early to prep for her long day in the bakery, shares her workspace with one dedicated, albeit young, employee, and fumes over the omnipresent cars flood What a delightfully cozy romance with an intriguing cast of characters and a wide diversity in a small town setting!

Marianne Windmere hasn’t always owned her family’s nearly century old bakery, but she has for nearly three decades. It’s seen as an institution in the small town of Swanley as much as the town itself. She lives a quiet life rising early to prep for her long day in the bakery, shares her workspace with one dedicated, albeit young, employee, and fumes over the omnipresent cars flooding her parking lot. The likely culprit? The restaurant attached to the other side of the bakery, a unit she doesn’t own.

A snowstorm hits and causes her to push back her not-so neighborly feelings toward the owner of said restaurant and Marianne invites Rana to spend the night in her apartment above the bakery rather than attempt to drive home in the blizzard-like conditions. Their quiet night of companionship and food is lost on the both of them in the morning when they blame each other’s customers for the parking issue.

The romance between Marianne and Rana itself was tender and sweet. Marianne, divorced for fifteen years, identifies as bisexual, though she recalls a conversation she has with her adult child about the possibility of her being asexual. I just loved how queer positive this story was. All throughout, there are countless queer folks, trans, non-binary, lesbian, asexual, and so much more. The story held a casual attitude toward queerness, which I couldn’t get enough of. I don’t recall Rana explicitly stating how she identifies but she was married to a man in the past and has children of her own.

The story does touch on a bit of issues that queer folks face—Zeke, the only employee of Marianne’s is a seven-teen year old trans boy who was kicked out of his parents’ home upon coming out—but not to an angsty extent. His kickass 90 year-old great-grandfather took him in.

The platonic relationship between Marianne and her ex-husband, Kevin, was well done, without any ill will toward each other, though she does remark—realistically—it took them both some time to get to the point of friendship but it’s nice.

I kind of wish there had been a bit more scenes with Rana and Marianne simply together but it was sweet as is. Maybe more scenes with them getting to know each other, sharing secrets or recipes, etc.

This was a lovely book with a tender romance and low-angst plot that was just what I needed. I felt as if I met all of the wonderful residents of Swanley as they visited Marianne’s bakery. ...more

Swanley is like a cute miniature version of how I hope the world can one day be. Its not perfect and there are still selfish and closed minded people, but overall it is just accepting. The atmosphere created in this story made my heart swell. Skin color, cultural background, religion, sexual orientation, gender, for the majority of the characters none of it mattered. That’s how I believe it should be.
I loved the small town feel where everyone knows everyone else’s business. It breeds a quirky cast of characters that really brought so much life and humor to the story. The characters felt so real and natural and were so likable. I would love to see more stories in Swanley.
The drama of the story was actually much less light hearted than I was expecting. Parking lot issues sounds frustrating and inconvenient but it quickly became so much more and I really empathized with Marianne and Rana's frustrations and difficulties.
There are so many great aspects of this story. From the idea of legacy and found families to the importance of friendship, communication, and being true to one’s self. The messages Wheeler delivers so gracefully are impactful and fulfilling.
Marianne and Rana are both completely lovable and their friendship and attraction is so sweet and genuine. One of my only disappointments in the whole story is that Rana has very little page time. This really is Marianne's story so I understood why, I just liked seeing the two of them interacting.
I was so impressed with this story and the characters especially. This book is, In the words of Zeke “All around Queer.” And I loved it. ...more
