⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Been in a slump. Came across this while wandering Litsy for the first time in awhile and really liked it! Licking her wounds after her husband‘s affair and subsequent divorce (and a pandemic) Phoebe books a room at a fancy Newport hotel where she plans to kill herself. Instead she connects with a bride, gets folded into to her 6-day wedding extravaganza, and finds new, more honest ways to live, and things she wants to live for.

Phoebe arrives at a Rhode Island hotel after reaching rock bottom in her life, but a wedding is happening & she‘s swept up in the chaos. The level of crassness felt unnecessary at times, but I did love the honesty of the characters. They found how freeing it was to tell the truth & the liberation was exhilarating. The chemistry between 2 of the characters (no spoilers) was electric. I liked but didn‘t love it.

TW Infertility, suicide & infidelity

Ready for November and the #bookspin challenge!

Merritt inherits a magical house that makes his life miserable. Thanks to a magical housekeeper, Hulda, the house is tamed. Merritt, Hulda, the house, and staff all start getting along charmingly until an evil magician desires to upend everything. Set in the mid-1800s, it often feels anachronistic but then magic isn‘t real either. With a touch of romance, this is a charming story and I‘ll plan to continue with the series.

At first I thought this was yet one more book about a neurotic woman, and I‘ve read a lot of those lately. But this was actually a story of discovery as Phoebe spends one week immersed in a wedding party of people she doesn‘t know in the slightest. Her life as she knew it, changes before her very eyes as she gets to know all these strangers. Very entertaining!

My next audiobook. What a cool cover!!

Really enjoyed the first half, which was real, thoughtful and sad.
The 2nd half was cliched to me and very predictable.

I really enjoyed this novel, I liked the main character Phoebe and the entire cast of characters was fun to read.
