Enchanted August by Brenda Bowen
3.0
This was a 2.5 star for me.
Ms. Bowen does a good job in keeping with the original spirit of the foursome and their characteristics. I must say that her update to Mrs. Fisher was my favorite. Beverly Fisher had a lot more character and felt more real to me than the original Mrs. Fisher did.
Enchanted August didn’t have the charm of it’s predecessor, The Enchanted April. The update was lacking in the loveliness of language. There were some bits with locals thrown in that really didn’t seem to go anywhere – Max the handyman especially. I’ve been wondering what I would have thought of this book if I hadn’t read The Enchanted April first. Would I have liked it more or less? I’m not sure.
I would recommend to people who like chick-lit books. This would probably be a fun poolside read. I personally preferred the original to the update.
