Waking Kate is a small short story/novella by Sarah Addison Allen. As much as I like the author's writing I felt this little flat. If I read the Lost Lake series it will change my mind. The characters are interesting, and I will understand the second chance for love. Looking, forward to reading one more from my fantastic author

talk about a book that will make you think about your choices in life.
Probably shouldn't have read this before going to bed..
I definitely recommend this to everyone. It's sweet yet not.

What can I say...I love Sarah Addison Allen.
I've written term papers longer than this novella, but it's a good story all the same.
Short (very), maybe not so sweet, concise story of not settling.

A fabulous little snippet to whet your appetite before Lost Lake. I read this immediately before starting Lost Lake and the continuation from this to the beginning of that book (minus the little prologue in LL that sort of interrupts the flow) was fantastic. This takes minutes to read and anybody who loves Sarah Addison Allen or plans to start the love with her latest, Lost Lake, should definitely read this.

Wow, I am so glad I found Sarah Addison Allen thru an ad on Goodreads- about her new upcoming January 2014 release “Lost Lake”. I then found her new novella “Waking Kate”, as this was my first book by Sarah ---she had me hooked on the first page and has been added to my favorite author list.
Cannot believe, as an avid reader had not heard of her nor read any of her books, especially since she is a NC writer (I am a native and all my family members still reside in the state). I later moved to Atlanta Buckhead), and now reside in South Florida; however, NC is still true to my heart and love NC writers.
This short e-book was powerful – amazing writing!! Love her writing style---Waking Kate was so moving, and the excerpt for Lost Lake was magical! I so look forward to January and will pre-order Lost Lake, as well as adding all her books to my read and buy list.
Isn’t it thrilling to find a new author and dive into their work? I would urge readers to view the author’s website and watch the video about her upcoming Lost Lake (Georgia, another state true to my heart where I spent most of my career), as was very moving – based on fact author has not written in a while due to breast cancer, and the inspiration of one door closing to something new and bright.
Seamless combining the past with the present in Waking Kate. What a special treat – the e-book novella is free; however, I would definitely buy! Cannot wait to enter Lost Lake (it is already reminding me of Big Canoe, GA where I lived for a year in a log cabin, which was a little heaven on earth)---Highly Recommend Waking Kate and Lost Lake!

Kate sits in wait for her husband to come home from work and ends up having a conversation with a neighbor. His tale is of heartbreak and loss but of hope as well.
Waking Kate was a fabulous albeit quick introduction to Kate and sets the scene fantastically. It left me highly anticipating the upcoming release of Lost Lake (and also made me extremely curious about Butter Coffee!)

Short. Leaves something to be desired. Gave backstory, but missing the 'magic' I normally expect.
