This was a really sweet story about what it means to be a family, secrets and living in the moment. When Gemma shows up at Benedict's door his whole life changes and so does that of so many in the town. This young girl shows them all how to live again, through gemstones and jewelry Gemma and Benedict change the lives around them including their own.
I couldn't put this book down it was infectious in its joy and I found the information on different gemstones fascinating. A truly enjoyable book.

This is the third novel by Phaedra Patrick that I've read. They are all so charming. I can't wait to read more.

Started out really strong and plateaued a bit in the middle (but was still a nice story). The ending took a weird turn for me that didn’t align with the tone of the rest of the book. It went from Hallmark wholesome to soap opera to an over the top cheese fest. Cue the soft piano music and send Danny Tanner out.
Overall, the book served it’s purpose, and I did really enjoy the gemstone theme. I would read more from this author when I need another palate cleanse.

A nice book. Enjoyed the family drama, ha. There's a nice bit of redemption, so keep reading.
Trigger warning for those with infertility issues.

This book was very likeable, but not as entertaining as Arthur Pepper.
