Tove_Reads I liked it, but I don‘t like open-ended stories. (edited) 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 @Tove_Reads I liked the book and found the characters interesting. I think it showed how easy it is to fall in love with the wrong person and overlook a lot of their faults when you are seeing them through the eyes of love. 5y

rubyslippersreads I liked it. It‘s left me wanting to reread Quentins, but I can‘t remember if that‘s an upcoming buddy read. 5y

EadieB @rubyslippersreads I think we are reading them in the order written so will probably get to it soon! 5y

Andrew65 @rubyslippersreads The only one we‘ve planned so far is A Week in Winter during December, and in January we therefore will look to read Quentins. 😊 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB @rubyslippersreads I‘m happy to mix them up. 😊 5y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads I‘m with you I wanted resolution in the story for Ria. We need to know what happens to her. 5y

TheBookHippie Open ended leaves me to want to write the ending!!!!! I don't care when we read what FYI . I've read her books as they came out if I could at the time so lots of gaps. I missed reading her voice! This is quite enjoyable!!! Thanks for leading these!!! 5y

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie Thanks 😊, and thanks for reading them along with us. Having great fun reading these again, or closing the gaps with the few I haven‘t read and getting even more from them with the discussions. 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 @Tove_Reads I think Ria will still cook for the restaurants in her area and will be able to support herself and her children. I hope she soon ends up with a nice man who will treat her the way she should be treated. 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB Hopefully! 5y

TheBookHippie @EadieB I agree and I too so hope she finds a real man. I think she'll keep cooking. What a whirlwind she lived so far. 5y

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie I wonder if she‘ll pop up in one of Maeve‘s other books. Sometimes there is a crossover of some characters. 5y

Tove_Reads Nope, doubt he‘d ever go back to Ria, which is good for her! Might stay together with Bernadette, but he‘ll get someone new on the side. 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 @Tove_Reads I agree with Tove that Danny may stay with Bernadette but he will always have other affairs. 5y

rubyslippersreads Exactly what @Tove_Reads and @EadieB said. I don‘t think the leopard can change his spots. 5y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads He‘s already got Rosemary on the side! 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB @Tove_Reads @rubyslippersreads I just cannot see him staying with Bernadette and hopefully doesn‘t go back to Ria. I just feel Bernadette is so wrong for him! They are not compatible. 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 I don‘t think he is compatible with any one and never was he compatible with Ria either. 5y

TheBookHippie Nope. I think he'll keep being a rat scoundrel . 5y

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie Agreed! 5y

Tove_Reads Of course! The got out of their comfortable zones, which did them good. Marilyn accepted the death of her son, and Ria saw that there is more to life than Danny, or started to realize it. 5y

EadieB Yes I believe they both benefited by exchanging homes for the summer. Marilyn learned to cope with the loss of her son and Ria was able grow more independent away from Danny. @Tove_Reads @Andrew65 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB @Tove_Reads I feel Marilyn for more out of this, as Ria still wanted, and would have taken back, Danny. 5y

TheBookHippie @Andrew65 I think so too. She wasn't as far removed from him as I would like!!! 5y

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie I think the only real development for her is the cooking. Hate that she‘d take him back! 5y

Will shortly post the questions for chapters 6 and 7. Apologies but this is later as with other commitments not posted these sooner! Might need a slower pace on the next one. 😂 Been a very busy week.

TheBookHippie No problem I'm behind in reading!!!! 5y

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie I know that feeling especially after trying to get Circe finished! Went from 14% to end of book over the last week on that one, and half of it over the last 24 hours. (edited) 5y

Tove_Reads He seems to be the only good guy, so hopefully. (edited) 5y

EadieB @andrew65 @Tove_Reads He‘s having an affair with Orla but maybe he will get together with Marilyn. 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB Marilyn, see,s a good choice for him, although she does have a husband! 5y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Sounds as if there was some bad stuff for Colm in the past but love his current character. 5y

TheBookHippie @Andrew65 I agree ! However we keep reading I may have to start a chart for these people 😂 5y

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie Yes now we have the Americans as well it is getting into chart territory! 😂 5y

rubyslippersreads @TheBookHippie I‘m glad I‘m not the only one needing a chart. 😄 5y

Andrew65 @rubyslippersreads I love @thebookhippie‘s charts, they are great. 👍😊 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 I think it seems like a typical brother/sister relationship. They pick on each other but when things get serious they seem to bond together. 5y

Tove_Reads Pretty standard. The age difference is too big for them to share friends and interests at this stage in life. 5y

Andrew65 She is very tough on Brian, but would be there for him in a shot. Brian makes me laugh, always putting his foot in it. 5y

TheBookHippie I think it's normal but what do I know 🤣🤣. I think it will only improve. 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 Getting away from Danny was a good idea and it is helping her to think a little clearer but I still think she went a little too far. 5y

Tove_Reads It‘s quite normal to do new things once you‘re away and you‘ve taken the first big step. It‘s time for her to do things and let her subconscious figure out what her life will be like in the future. 5y

Andrew65 I think she is starting to come alive as an independent person. 5y

TheBookHippie YES GO! It's always goood to BREATHE and reset. 5y

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie I was surprised she did this but it was definitely the right move, but a very brave move too. 5y

TheBookHippie @Andrew65 sixth sense ? Maybe the fortune tellers predictions ? Hidden in her subconscious ??? 🤣 but yes go girl get your sh*t together 5y

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie We‘re still waiting for the business part of that prediction to come to fruition. I wonder what the business will be. She certainly need to go away and regroup. 5y

TheBookHippie @Andrew65 I know!!!!! Something to get even with says my black coal heart 🤣🤣 5y

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie Mine too! 🖤 5y

TheBookHippie Grandbaby sick gotta help out I'll catch up tomorrow !!! 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 @TheBookHippie I think it was a good idea to go away but I think she should have gone closer to home. America is a bit far if you decide within a week that it was not a good idea. 5y

Tove_Reads Something I could easily do, but for Ria is outside of her comfort zone. I still think it‘s a good idea. Why not do it? It‘s now or probably never. 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB possibly she needed to go far away so she couldn‘t easily go home. 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 I was thinking about that too but now Marilyn is feeling uneasy about her situation too. 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB They both see to be in crisis, very different personalities by the look of it. 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 I do wonder what Marilyn‘s story is. 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB I have now read on, there is definitely a lot to her story! 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 I‘m listening to Fool Me Once. I read this 2 years ago and it‘s only faintly familiar. Can‘t wait to read on in Tara Road. 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB Only got to the end of chapter one in Fool Me Once, a rare Harlan book I haven‘t read. 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 I did give it 5 stars but then that is not surprising. 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB No, not at all. 5y

rubyslippersreads @Andrew65 @EadieB I think that‘s right; she couldn‘t easily change her mind. 5y

Andrew65 @rubyslippersreads Just what she needed at the time. 5y
