The Bookstore Wedding

The Once Upon a Time Bookshop Stories

De: Alice Hoffman

Narrado por: Jennifer Jill Araya

In this star-crossed short story from New York Times bestselling author Alice Hoffman, timing is everything as two sisters learn to let love follow its own path.

Isabel, the long-lost Gibson sister, is finally back home on Brinkley’s Island, Maine. With Sophie and Violet, her sister and her niece, she’s got the family bookstore—and with Johnny Lenox, she’s got something even more special.

But even as life settles, not everything is falling into place. Isabel and Johnny have set the date three times, baked three wedding cakes, invited the whole island to three parties, only to have each attempt at matrimony fall apart at the last minute. Disasters seem to be conspiring against their happy ending, and Isabel is starting to wonder if their love is meant to be.

When family history comes back to haunt the Gibson sisters, Isabel knows that if she wants to make it down the aisle with Johnny, first she and Sophie will have to face the pain of their past and their present, and decide what it means for their future.

Forgiving

Short but imaginative love story of loss, anger and grief. Very enjoyable and relaxing about family and community.

Overly sentimental

Overly sentimental, too many recipes. Not up to Hoffman’s standard. Repetitive and schmaltzy. Too simplistic for Hoffman.

Great listen!

Story line is good and I like stories I can listen to in under 2 hours.

A lovely and lighthearted listen!

A quick and delightful story about love and family! A wonderful feel good book on a Sunday afternoon!

Great Story Line

Great short story, loved the audio & would recommend to anyone who likes a true sounding love story.

These stories are great

Love these little stories! They give me something to listen to while I clean! Perfect!

Short and Sweet

Always love her writing. Innocent sisterly love and small town wholesome romance. Set in Maine. Small business family owned bakery dreams.

The pain of loving

A story that challenges emotions, but like any tale of true love: love wins! I really enjoyed how, despite being a romantic love story about a couple’s relationship, the focus is on sisterly love, and there’s nothing greater than the love between sisters! I experience it every day. Book Store Wedding is the story of Isabel and Sophia, two sisters who have endured a lot during and after their mother’s illness and passing, which left a deep pain in their lives. So much so that Isabel fled to New York. Upon her return, she faces her sister’s current illness, the new love that blossomed between Sophia and the doctor, her own wedding to the love of her life, and many other emotional experiences. Just like this Book Store Wedding audiobook.

And so we continue

Where one ends the other begins. This one had the sad the happy the joy in it. Feeling for the sister and her daughter. The joy of seeing her come through and find love again. Isabel having her story finally get finished made a sweet ending of the series.

Love happens

Just a happy uplifting story that carried the characters until the end of the series. I just loved it ❤️
