Whiskey & Ribbons by Leesa Cross-Smith

3.0

Whiskey and Ribbons tells the story of love, loss, grief, forgiveness and the will to move forward. I felt the pacing of this one was a little too slow for my liking, which made me want to DNF, I know, crazy because so many others have loved this one. I think the writing is beautiful but I wish I had more of the aftermath between Dalton and Evi. The story wrapped up clean but I would’ve loved to have known what both families thought of their decision. Once the pivotal moment occurs, the book flies from that point on, but that occurs at pg. 175 out of 258, which I think just took too long.

Overall, I would recommend this book to those who don’t mind a slow build. The payoff is there, but I wish we had a few more chapters to add to this story.
