I really enjoy this series of books. She has a good sense of character and is able to write about her large and ever-growing cast with a good balance. It really feels like small-town life with the inter-connectedness of the people's lives. There is also a good deal of humor to balance the tragedy and mundaneness of real life.
adventurous emotional lighthearted mysterious fast-paced

I actually listened to the book on tape. Very interesting web of characters, although it was hard to keep track of them in the beginning.

This books was a disjointed mess.

It just didn’t grab me. I didn’t care about the characters 

Loved this book as well as all the others the characters feel like real friends love Debbie Macomber style of writing only wish I had found it sooner
