A little too humdrum at times. Pacing could have been improved upon a bit. Unrealistic discharge from the hospital. It ended well, though.

I liked this book better than the first. Was it because I was more familiar with the characters or because the story was more uplifting?

This book had some timing issues. Ronnie left two years ago, meaning he’d been gone a year or more at the start of book one. The restaurant wasn’t even on the radar when he left. So in less than a year, she got her life together, decided to open a restaurant, put it all together, and develop an amazing reputation. Seems implausible.

What I liked: It mostly told/followed a different magnolias story with the others being the background characters this time.
What I disliked: Sometimes the writing feels too 8th grade storytelling-ish.
Will I continue the series: Probably? If nothing else, they can be a palate cleanser for in-between heavier things. Sometimes I read for the sake of reading, not necessarily for the content :)
