Noelle is an efficient, friendly hotel cleaner and a model employee who can clean a room in five minutes, but tidying up her life might take an entire team of cleaners. Overcoming an extremely abusive childhood has turned Noelle inward. One of her only pleasures is to steal little niceties from her clients rooms. Nothing big. A lipstick here, tweezers there, and as soon as there is a whiff of suspicion on her she's off to the next gig, but these new colleagues make her wonder what it might be like to have friends, and a solid place to land . . .
An affective tale of found family and healing from trauma filled with loveable, larger-than-life characters, Hotel 21 makes a great selection for fans of Gail Honeyman's Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine, Fredrik Backman's A Man Called Ove, and/or Shelby Van Pelt's Remarkably Bright Creatures.
"This tender exploration into the lives of not only Noelle but the women surrounding her, gives voice to the overlooked, overworked, and under appreciated cleaners who are always seen but never heard." -- Goodreads
