This book was so fun and such quick read. I really enjoyed the whole vibe.
Rae is southern mom who loves restoring furniture. She loves the show fixer upper and has restored and rebuilt so many things. Shes recently divorced and her mom passes away. She has a chance to move back to the little one horse town she grew up in that could possibly help her heal all of her wounds.

Well bless my heart. This isn’t what I normally read (well I listened to it) but I did enjoy it. It’s a sweet story that hit close to home.

Meh. This wasn't my glass of sweet tea, but I can see why others would enjoy it. While I know this is set in a small southern town in Alabama and I actually grew up in Huntsville, AL, which is mentioned a lot, how much religion played a part of this and the main character's development isn't something I personally enjoyed. I also didn't care for Rae's arc and what she chose to do in the end.
Once again, this book is definitely going to resonate in great ways with some people and there's nothing wrong with the writing. I just didn't care for the story.

Ok.
Let’s start with the fact that this book started with a funeral. Ummmmmmm
Overall, this was a cute story about second chances.
Raeley Ann Sutton’s Mother passes away and leaves her the house where she grew up. Recently divorced, and still mourning that loss, she takes the house, settles into small town life with her fourteen-year-old daughter, Molly Margaret, and their overweight dog.
Her mother's close-knit circle of friends, the Third Thursday ladies: Mrs. Fannie, Mrs. Dora, and Aunt Maxine embrace her and she joins their circle and begins to heal.
I can appreciate the process and healing that Rae went through, and i really was rooting for her. But What I didn’t like was how the story jumped around so much and some story lines felt like they went nowhere or left me hanging.
Overall, I’d give it 3 stars.

When I started reading this I thought I would love it. I liked the sarcasm and banter at the beginning but then it started to fall flat as the story continued and resolved a little too conveniently for my taste. Having said that, there are still words of wisdom and encouragement that are wonderful takeaways and the ending is not one you see in contemporary literature very often.
Thanks to NetGalley for the chance to review this one. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
