Publisher's summary

On the day her daughter leaves for college, Anne Colwater's husband of 20 years announces he wants a divorce. Her roles of wife and mother suddenly gone, Annie retreats to her childhood home of Mystic, Washington, to heal. There she finds her old friend Nick, suddenly widowed and unable to cope with his emotionally scarred young daughter, Izzie.

Annie agrees to look after Izzie, and soon finds herself caring for both father and daughter with a joy and passion she never expected - and she finds her love returned with a fervor she had never even hoped for. But love is never simple, and it is not until Annie learns a hard lesson from her own grown daughter that she finds the strength to claim the happiness she has earned.

Excellent read

Very entertaining. Kept me engaged through the entire book. I didn’t want it to stop. I wish it would have ended with nick, Ann and Izzy coming together in the end. I know they did but finishing it in the written story. And Ann opening her bookstore.

Missing at the end

I really liked this story and showing what it’s like to be the character and how she got to where she was in her life.

The flow was good though it overall felt like it should have stopped sooner or continued a bit longer to wrap up the current adventure. It ended kinda feeling like it was book 1 1/2 and you were missing more.

Overall good read!

The story was very predictable

I listened to this on a long car ride. While this isn’t my favorite of her books, I was caught up in the predictable story,

Emotionally riveting

I was invested in the characters and their struggles within the first pages. The story weaves humor, sadness, fear, loneliness and accomplishment in familiar life events while evoking emotion in the reader.
The novel is relatable to women and men of many ages and life experiences.
I cannot remember the last time I read a book that reduced me to tears running down my cheeks on more than one occasion.

Excellent!

This is the 3rd book I've listened to by Hanna. She not only narrates beautifully but spins Love stories with heart!

The book was very good. Better through the second half. But standing ovation for Susan, my favorite reader!

Captivating

One of the best books I've heard in a while. Could not turn it off!
It kept my attention the entire way, with no slow spots at all.
