Did Reese really read this book? I have my doubts. I think this is a nice opinion.

Synopsis

Every year, thousands of homeowners in the UK apply for planning permission and come away battered and bruised.

In some cases, they go into battle poorly prepared. In others, they come up against the planners’ “computer says no” approach to decision making.

How to Get Planning Permission is a lively and accessible guide for homeowners. It is full of practical detail and real-life case studies. Its 6-step programme explains how to:
• choose the right designer
• exploit Permitted Development rights (where permission is not required at all)
• understand how planning decisions are really made
• apply tactically and effectively
• deal with a refusal
• avoid the agony of enforcement.

Martin Gaine decided thousands of planning applications in various councils before founding Just Planning, the only consultancy in England dedicated to helping homeowners to beat the planners.

Planning is not a fair fight. Martin provides insights and advice based on decades of planning practice, laying bare his strategies for us all to use. If you want to extend your home, start here.

This has got to be the most surprising disappointment of a book. Who are all these 5 star reviewers? The writing was boring, the characters flat, it was repetitive, contrived.. The author created suspense by basically not telling you anything forEVER. And the daughter whom the protagonist, Hannah, was to protect? Complete brat. She was just miserable ALL THE TIME and yet, Hannah, to the point of obsequiousness, is constantly trying to win her over and every page has some melodramatic prose about her heart breaking wide open or being thrilled with the slightest act of grace from the obnoxious brat in need of protection. Why was daughter so entitled to be miserable and rude while being raised by doting dad in Sausalito of all places? Dad just shrugs, Hannah tries harder because she is, IDK, spineless? But wait until you get to the part where we find out what daughter is being protected from! It's so absurd, so implausible that hurling book at wall seemed reasonable. Hannah is just a constant pillar of deep introspection and moral superiority. She's going to devote her whole life to said brat. Also, Grady, the US Marshall character? No! No, he would not have spent over a decade personally invested in the life of the son-in-law of an ex con and he most certainly wouldn't have worn a baseball cap on backwards in every appearance he makes in the novel. What grown man in law enforcement walks around in his professional life with a baseball cap on backwards? Was that supposed to be charming? Because I see that backwards cap on any man's head and I want to knock it the heck off.

The only pleasure I got out of this book is the cathartic experience I'm having writing this review and arriving at the sound decision of never buying a Reese Witherspoon book club pick again. And if she produces or stars in the film or series version, I'll never forgive her or watch Walk the Line again for like the 12th time.
