Not my favorite of Thayne's books, but enjoyable all the same. I always feel immersed in her towns and appreciate the real issues she has her characters face. #contemporaryromance

I really enjoy Thayne's novels, which walk that line between romance and women's fiction - just enough drama and romance to keep me engaged, but not so much of one or the other to make me roll my eyes haha This story focuses on three women - Rosemary and her adult daughters, Cami and Violet. Violet's twin sister, Lily, has recently died in a tragic accident. At the time of her death, she was working on creating a Glampground on a neighbor's ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (con't) property. Rosemary is determined to make this dream a reality, and the Glampground is now up and running. The problem is that Lily, who wasn't always all about the details, neglected to get the very important signature from the neighbor on an official lease agreement. With the neighbor beginning to show signs of dementia, his son, who has been out of the country, assumes that Lily was taking advantage and is determined to shut the entire ⬇ 3y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) business down. The sisters come together to help their mom, and there really aren't any big surprises along the way. However, I enjoyed the way that there had never been a huge rupture between the women - they had just grown apart after Rosemary divorced her husband & moved several hours away, taking the twins with her and leaving Cami with their dad. This was a gentle story about grief, guilt, and second chances. Nothing groundbreaking ⬇ 3y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) but still an enjoyable story with likable and relatable characters.

My #WeeklyForecast is a day late because yesterday was one of those days when the weather was perfect and we started working outside at 7am and didn't stop until supper 😂 I can't imagine what we would do if we owned more than acre!!

ANYWAY I'm not saying that there are more books in the windowsill than there were last week... but there may be more books in the windowsill than there were last week 😆 I did so well the first couple months of the⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) year, but I've gotten myself embroiled in too many series and now there is starting to be a backlog! However, it mostly makes me feel really pleased that there is no chance of me not having something to read. This week, the tagged book (Thayne's newest release) is due back at the library, so it's my top priority. Then I'm hoping to read the next Lunar Chronicle (Cress), which is 550pgs, so those may be the only books I get read this week⬇ 3y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) beyond continuing my various chapter-a-day(ish) reads. Vacation is rapidly approaching, so I'll have to decide if I'm taking windowsill books, or completely random volumes from my other shelves just because they look delicious!! For now - off to do more work outside because, unbelievably, it didn't all get done yesterday!!!
