I love the inspiring message of this book, but it had just a tad too many YA tropes for my liking.
I think if I read this as a teenager I would have been much more impressed.

Have you ever finished a book and you‘re not sure if you pick up another for a while because it was so good? That‘s how I feel after finishing The Four Winds

#Read2025 I‘ve been under the impression that Katherine Center is a writer of rom-coms. Of course, I‘ve only read one other book by her and, while it was promoted as a rom-com, it still touched on some very serious topics. This book is not a rom-com. It begins with some sad things, some sad things happen in the middle, and the ending leaves questions about what will happen next. It ends on a hopeful note and I enjoyed this book. Recommended.

TEArificbooks The movie is good too. Might still be on Netflix 4w
wanderinglynn Agree. Of the books I read of hers, I would not call them rom-coms. Contemporary fiction romance, yes because the 3 I read dealt with rather heavy topics. (edited) 4w
CatLass007 @TEArificbooks Oh. I didn‘t know there was a movie. @wanderinglynn Ordinarily I don‘t read books that are labeled strictly as romance or rom-com. But when I read the summary of Hello Stranger it sounded so intriguing. And it was. It was interesting, sweet, intelligent, and yes, romantic. I definitely would read other books she‘s written. The Lost Husband is currently free on Audible. Free is always an excellent incentive. (edited) 4w

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

This was a nonfiction piece that was originally intended to be an expose‘ on the commercialism and corruption of Christmas. Instead, it became a slice of life piece of the suburb of Frisco Texas as it prepares for the Christmas 2006 holiday. The author follows the stories of Tammie, a home decorator; Jeff & Bridgett, homeowners with a ridiculous light display; and Carol, a single mother.

This was a reread/listen for me and I absolutely love it!
