personal thoughts/opinions: I loved this book! I think I loved it better than Virgin River. There were tons of surprises.
What did you like best about the book? It definitely kept my interest, there were tons of surprises, you thought you knew what to expect, but then again you really didn't.
What didn’t you like about the book? nothing!
why you read it? This series was recommended to me by one of my book groups. I'm so glad they told me about this series. If it hadn't been for them, I probably would've never found out about it.
Was this book recommended to you or did you find it on your own? It was recommended to me
Would you recommend it to others? Oh definitely
Do you want to read more books by this author?
Does it remind you of other books you’ve already read? I think it sort of reminded me of Enough (this was made into a movie starring Jennifer Lopez). Also The Cedar Cove Series by Debbie Macomber and Lakeshore Chronicles by Susan Wiggs...
Did you find it hard to stay interested in this book? not at all...It picked up right where Virgin River left off and kept me hooked. I even stayed up until 2:30am one night reading.
Was this book what you expected? yes
What book are you planning to read next? Making Waves by Cassandra King
