A sharp and warm-hearted debut novel with an unforgettable protagonist you can’t help but root for.

Noelle is an efficient, friendly hotel cleaner—a model employee. Or so she’d have you think . . . trouble is, she can’t help but take little “souvenirs” from the rooms she cleans. Nothing of value—a lipstick, a hair clip, some tweezers. By the time the guest has noticed, she’s long gone. As Noelle begins work at her twenty-first hotel, she’s determined to last longer than her record of one month in the job. But then she meets her new colleagues. These women are real: they live lives full of happiness and worry, pain and joy. They make her wonder what it might be like to have true friends, people to stick round for—and someone to love. . . . Will they give her the courage to claim the life she deserves, or will her old habits come back to haunt her?

Reviews:

“Those who enjoyed Nita Prose’s The Maid will enjoy the setting and draw comparisons between Noelle and that novel’s protagonist.” —Booklist, starred review

“Senta Rich’s debut novel Hotel 21 tackles some big themes, from self-discovery, sexuality, and mental health to the complex bonds of female friendship.” —Paste Magazine

 

My Review

I really loved the message of friendship and support that resonates in this book.  I think the world needs more of that.  I liked reading about the Noelle and all the other women that work at the hotel.  Told in both the present, highlighting her job and friends at the hotel, and the past where we learn about her abusive past and what sculpted her into the woman she is today, you get a well rounded look into Noelle’s life.  She gets a second chance with her new job and friends.

It’s a sweet heart warming story that kept me reading.
