![]() Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is an absolutely lovely feel-good read! I have been struggling a bit this week for a number of reasons I am not going to go into. This book not only lifted my spirits but also put me in a productive mood, which is saying something! Celia was such a relatable character, and even though I am in nowhere near the same situation as she found herself in, I found myself identifying with a lot of the underlying struggles that she went through. Because of that, as Celia worked through her problems, I was able to relate her solutions and revelations to what was going on in my own life and made me feel better about where I was. Very well done on Marie Bostwick's part! I also adored the entire cast of supporting characters, which is a bonus! If you are looking for a spirit-lifting book or just something with feel-good vibes that will put a smile on your face, this book is for you! ![]() This book is a fun read, with interesting and quirky characters, a great setting, and story that keeps the reader interested. As I stated earlier, I appreciate the fact that Celia is not some 20-something (or younger) heroine, but has been around the block and is able to appreciate subtlety and nuance in her life and relationships. The only thing I didn’t like about it was that there was just one too many elements in the story - potential new mom, divorcee (but not much info about the ex beyond the beginning of the book), old friendships and new, relocation to a new area, major life/career change, and a love interest. I think we could have done without that last one - or perhaps the author could have suggested that it might come, rather than spend as much of an otherwise entertaining and full story. ![]() Everything was a plus, setting, dialog, plot and execution - I really enjoyed this book - how much? When I realized my water bottle had leaked and soaked the last third of the book there I was at 3 A.M. using my hair dryer to dry each page so I could finish the book. That’s how much I liked this book. Thank you LibraryThing and William Morrow for a copy sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
