A cute addition to the rapid read series of books. Ideal for people who find reading difficult, this story is easy to follow, humorous and just the right size. Even if you don't have trouble reading you may still find this book enjoyable and obviously a quick read. It's got a sassy heroine and a clever plot. I enjoyed it.

As with others I was surprised at how thin the book was. It really is more of a novella in my mind & I did not realize it was a YA story as well.

That aside it was a fun book, events happened at a decent pace & it was funny. It stars Gina Gallo, a woman from a mob family trying to live a straight life & run her jewelry store but her family keeps getting in the way.

Gina needs to right an old wrong to collect an inheritance and runs into a number of issues trying to do this.

It went a bit fast for me. I felt like it was rushing me toward the finish line in places but I enjoyed it over all. Good characters, interesting plot. It just felt a bit lacking in pacing & detail in places. Like another 50 pages & some more depth would have made it an additional star. (

I won this book on Librarything and really did not know anything about the book, publisher or author. I was quite surprised to receive such a thin book with big writing. Another reviewer on Goodreads gave it context. I gather it is designed to encourage adult new or reluctant readers. With that perspective, I appreciated it. The characters and story are very light, but it's quite funny. The comparison to Janet Evanovich is apt. And it's set in Hamilton Ontario, which is quite an achievement. (

I didn't know this was a YA book when I asked to read this as an early reviewer. I thought tis was such a cliche novella with really no subject to make me want to read it to the end, which I did. Was very surprised by the other reviews....maybe I'm missing something. (

More of an extended short story or a novella than a novel (it's only 127 pages of large print in a small format book that took about an hour to read), The Artful Goddaughter is a fast-paced, funny, caper kind of story. In order for Gina to collect her inheritance she has to fulfill her relative's dying wish to right a past wrong. There are stereotypical mob types, a bit of romance, a neatly plotted art gallery caper and even a foul mouthed parrot. The back of the book says this is a "rapid reads" book and that it is, which is somewhat of a shame because the story was engaging and the characters are endearing, leaving me wishing that there had been a bit more to this book!
