I started this while feeling a bit down and had to take a couple breaks before it really hooked me. It didn‘t start out as the light hearted read the cover suggests. A struggling woman checks into a hotel and becomes entangled in the wedding taking place on site. The interactions push her outside of her herself and her sadness but she also changes those she meets. Balancing both depth and humor this book was surprisingly delightful.

Jas16 Thank you again @AmyG! Loved it 2w
AmyG I am so glad you loved it, too. The cover is way deceptive….not a good cover at all. 2w

Suet624 I just wish the cover was better. 3w
BkClubCare @Suet624 - had to go check her prior novel cover art to see if “they” were trying for consistent look, but no? Not really? Anyway, I agree, it seems not quite “right”. (edited) 3w
Megabooks This is one of my favorites this year!! 2w
BkClubCare @Megabooks - mine, too! 2w

This book is set in Newport RI and I am an avowed Newportophile. So when the narrator mispronounces a street name it is jarring! I have been jarred. 🤣
(FYI - Thames Street is not said like one says in London… it‘s (probably) sadly Americanized? The locals say the TH sound and it rhymes with “names”)

Pic of the view from the rooftop bar of the Vanderbilt Grace Hotel, and if you ever go, you‘ll love the elevator 📚

tpixie I went to Newport- my first visit to RI- the 1st weekend in November, for a Team W book weekend to celebrate their 5th book collaboration . It was a great event and what a lovely town! 3w
BkClubCare @tpixie - it‘s one of my happy places 3w
marleed Oh, I while back I listened to an audiobook and Spokane WA was referenced often throughout the story and the narrator pronounced the city as if the ‘e‘ gave the ‘a‘ a long sound to rhyme with Maine rather that rhyming with ‘man‘. Drove me crazy! 3w

Larkken I was supposed toto be there this thanksgiving for family until work got crazy! I had no idea this book was set there. And I get it about the pronunciation. For me, the state of Nevada will always be triggering 😆 3w
tpixie @BkClubCare I can see why!!! 3w
tpixie Team W‘s 4th book was set in Newport 3w
BkClubCare @Larkken - uh oh. How is Nevada supposed to be pronounced? I cringe often when I hear people incorrectly say Missouri. (It is NOT Miz-OR-ee!! 😡) 3w
BkClubCare @marleed - even me as a Kansas girl knows how to say Spokane! 😃 3w
BkClubCare @tpixie - added to my mile high tbr 2w
Larkken @BkClubCare oh man. People say it like that?!? For me, Nevada the state should never be pronounced like the Spanish word ? the second vowel in the state should rhyme with "bad" instead 2w
BkClubCare @Larkken - 🤨 Now that I think about it… the town of Nevada MO pronounces it WRONG! Don‘t visit, is my advice. Same with town Versailles MO 😂 (ver-sales) 2w
tpixie @BkClubCare 🏔️ TBR 2w
