Read July 2022
Okay, I listened to this one in the pool and it was laugh out loud funny! Brianna gave me the paperback version for my birthday and I started reading it but my book club books kept knocking it 'out of line'. So I started listening in the pool. I'm so glad, too! I was hooked completely by 3 chapters in.
Nora Stephens is a literary agent in New York City who finds that far too ofte, in her own real life, she is the 'other woman' in those Hallmark movies. The one who gets dumped when her boyfriend goes to a small town to do some cutthroat business and instead falls in love with the sweet local baker, or inn owner, or florist, or... you get the picture. We have all seen those Hallmark movies. She recognizes she is the one back in the city sitting on her Peloton barking at the (soon to be ex) boyfriend. Pretty fun setup for a book, really.
Like any good Hallmark movie, though, you can see it all coming. Within the first chapter I knew that the guy, Charlie Lestra, was going to be from the small town in North Carolina, Sunshine Falls. But, the beauty of a book like this is that it doesn't matter. You are truly along for the ride. And it was a delightful one indeed.
Side note about the audio version of this book... as I said I was listening to it in the pool. I must admit that more than once I found myself lowering the volume just in case anyone was near enough to hear it! ha!
