The Lights of Sugarberry Cove by Heather Webb 261 pages
Genre: Magical Realism, Fiction, Romance, Chick Lit, Contemporary, Family, Drama
Featuring: Alabama, Small Towns, Rare Circumstances, YouTube, B&B, Festivals, Goals, Dreams and Purpose, Food, Sisters, Mother-Daughter Relationships, Grieving, Lake, Toddler
Rating as a movie: PG-13 for adult themes
My rating: ๐๐๐๐๐
My thoughts: 29 of 261- I haven't gotten drawn in yet.
131 - I have found the flow of the story. I'm not loving it; I'm still waiting to see what happens next; it has spark an interest. It took a long time for me to connect with the story; the characters are colorful yet very neutral or benign.
*** I'm at the beginning of chapter 15. It took a while for me to warm up to the story, much longer than Blackbird Cafe. I'm not in love with it.
204 - This has improved a lot since about halfway into the story. It would make a good movie.
I was thinking, meh, 3 stars for most of this book. The story was very colorful, but something was missing, and it was just okay for me. Somewhere, around 50% into the story, I connected with the characters as they became vulnerable. Near the last quarter of the book, I was thinking 3.5 stars with a round up to 4 stars on Goodreads. After a chapter, I said maybe 3ยพ stars. However, after finishing the book, it was a legit 5 stars, no round up. For me, this is one of those stories that takes a while to bloom, but it is spectacular once it does. It warmed my heart.
Recommend to others?: Yes! This story was good overall.
