maryanne19 's review for:
The Lights of Sugarberry Cove
by Heather Webber
4 stars
This is a beautifully written story of a mother, Susannah, and her two adult daughters, Leala and Sadie, struggling to move on from the things left unsaid, and, possibly even more so, with the things that *should have* been left unsaid. It takes place in a fictional town in North Carolina, whose tourist industry is mostly focused on a lantern festival. Participants write their wishes on paper lanterns then launch them in the lake. Be careful what you wish for, as the saying goes....their wishes and the repercussions pull them apart, but eventually bring them back together.
The only thing I was not a fan of was the supernatural/magic element in this book. Apparently, that's a hallmark of Heather Webber's books, so it is more on me than on her. Her storytelling ability is excellent, bringing a wide range of characters to life.
Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Tor-Forge for the opportunity to read a digital ARC in return for an honest review.
