Gentle, magical (literally), heartfelt, and charming. This is an easy read that isn’t unpredictable, and doesn’t get super deep, but is a sweet journey to where you know it’ll end up. 

I think that right from the beginning you get an idea of what the book sets out to be and how it tries to feel, and it perfectly achieves that!

3.5 stars. This was a cozy, low stakes read with a cute family dynamic. It focuses on small town life and family legacy. I enjoyed reading this while on vacation!

What a wonderful book of being lost and then found, living without love and then finding it. Most importantly its a book of going home.

Definitely a top pick of mine. Sarah Addison Allen is, by far, my favorite author. She writes magically and never ceases to make me smile. If you haven't read any of her books yet, start with this one.
