A review by booksmartkate
The Cottage of New Beginnings by Suzanne Snow
3.0
The great thing about book clubs is the opportunity to read outside your comfort zone. Sometimes, you find new genres or authors you love; other times, you discover things that aren't your cup of tea. It turns out that cozy, sweet, vaguely Christian romances maybe aren't my cup of tea. However, that doesn't mean this was a bad book; it just isn't what I enjoy in a book.
Fresh off being left by her fiancé, Annie returns to Thorndale, the village where she spent much of her childhood when she inherits her aunt's home. Looking to make a fresh start but swearing off men, Annie is conflicted about her growing attraction to Jon, the sweet, do-gooding village resident and heir to a large property, who has recently returned to Thorndale after spending most of his childhood with his mother in America. Over the course of the novel, Annie befriends the village minister and his wife, learns more about Jon's work in the community, and ultimately decides to take a leap of faith with Jon.
If you are looking for a low-conflict novel that scratches the surface of broken relationships and infertility without diving too deeply into those emotions, this light read set in a quaint English village might be the book for you.
