Prompt: WINE

Did you know it takes eight hundred grapes to make one bottle of wine?

An easy, enjoyable read.  I liked the information about vineyards because we have a grape arbor, but nothing that would turn our grapes into wine.  :)

Will appeal to women's fiction fans.  The writing was breezy and fun, but the plot was a bit predictable.

5/5🌟 Full of emotion, secrets, and knowledge about making wine; which is a nice bonus if you love visiting vinyards. This reminded me of a good family drama movie where everyone gets together and there is laughing, crying, life lessons, secrets, and dysfunction set in cozy California wine country. I really enjoyed the sentimental value & nostalgia of childhood and family tradition.🍇🍷

This started really slow for me and while I live a messy family, one that just doesn‘t talk to each other makes me nuts. This was mostly so-so for me, but she did keep me reading and I did enjoy how things ended. I definitely preferred The Last Thing He Told Me. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks I haven't read this one, but I know in some books the lack of communication just feels like a plot device. If characters have a genuinely good reason for not talking to one another about something, I don't mind it, but when any normal person could solve the issue with one let's-clear-this-up-chat, I get pretty aggravated. 12mo

Poor Georgia should‘ve been visiting home more often, she was definitely in the dark on a lot of things going on in her family.
I don‘t want to give anything away, but I was happy for her and her parents in the end.

4-8-22: My 33rd finished book of 2022! When Georgia finds out her fiancé is keeping a secret from her one week before their wedding she flees home to her family‘s Sonoma County vineyard to figure things out. Faced with a family full of issues she wasn‘t aware of, Georgia wants to try to fix everything and everyone, but she must fix herself first. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️?#️⃣3️⃣3️⃣

My book club read this 5 years ago. We rented a mini van and signed up my dh to be dd so we could drink wine and have lunch. We went out of town to a restaurant called Grapes. Each item on the menu has a white or red wine pairing from a local vineyard. We may not have loved the book but we had a blast on our field trip.

Nute That sounds like an amazing book club venture! How cool to make an event out of reading a book and tie in related activities. I remember that this book had major buzz for awhile. 3y

PaperbackPirate @Nute Thank you! (Pre Covid) We always try to match the restaurant where we meet to our book based on the setting. Luckily we live in a big city so we have tried food from all around the world. We have been on Zoom for over a year now though. 3y
PaperbackPirate @Eggs Funny, I never would have associated Wisconsin with wine vineyards. Good to know! 🥂 3y

I‘ve been to Napa while visiting family who live nearby but I think this is the only book I‘ve read set in #WineCountry I‘m enjoying thinking of all the places I have visited or could visit in the future during #LitsySpringBreak

I knew the wine/whine prompt for #Booked2020 would be the hardest for me. I find whiny characters irritating enough that I usually don‘t finish the book, and I have an aversion to wine. (It was my alcoholic dad‘s drink of choice. Plus wine people can be very pretentious. Chocolate? Oaky? Um, no, it‘s all grapes! 🙄) This wasn‘t as bad as I feared but was just meh. But I got through it! 👍🏼 Oh, and it was my #bookspin!

LoverOfLearning Proud of you for getting through it! That sounded like a challenge. 4y
KarenUK Read the same book for the same prompt. And also did not like it! The main character was super annoying! And I used to work in the wine industry so thought I‘d find something redeeming about this one..... but nope! 😂 4y
Hooked_on_books @KarenUK If I wasn‘t reading it for this prompt, frankly I would have bailed. I actually got the audio from the library so I could get through it faster. The things we do for challenges! 😆 4y
