This was definitely my favorite book I've read so far this month, and one of my favorites for the year. Even though Hattie is only 28, she's been widowed for 2 years and is struggling to run the Vermont inn that was her husband's dream, all while taking care of their young daughter. Meanwhile, 3 women (Erica, Claudia, and Anna) have been friends since college and always get together for a week every year. Now that they are all at or close to 40 ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) they're each experiencing that mid-life crisis of realizing you've done something for a couple decades and is that really what life is all about? Erica's the classic workaholic, Claudia's 10-yr relationship ended earlier that year, and Anna is about to become an empty-nester after her children being her driving focus for 18 years. When they come to stay at Hattie's inn, things all come into focus. This isn't a high-energy story, and ⬇ 1d
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) while there is a little bit of romance, this book is really just about these four women finding some new direction as they approach new seasons of life. It's done so well!! Sometimes I find Morgan's stories to feel a little thin because she always takes on multiple characters, but because there wasn't as much romance in this one, I felt like I got to spend a balanced time with all four of these characters and loved each of them! 1d

julieclair This sounds so good! Stacked! 24h
bookandbedandtea I loved this one too! And you've reminded me that I meant to read more of her books as this was my first one. 22h
TheAromaofBooks @julieclair @bookandbedandtea - I think you would both really like this one!! I love Sarah Morgan's Christmas books because while there is always a splash of romance, it's always way more about family relationships, especially mothers/daughters/sisters. And so far, any book I've read where there is a married couple having issues, they actually talk and work through them like adults instead of realizing the other person was “holding them back“ or⬇ 4h
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) whatever. I especially enjoyed The Christmas Sisters, The Christmas Escape, and A Wedding in December, but honestly every book I've read by her has been a 4* or better for me. I've only read two of her not-Christmas books, and particularly enjoyed Family for Beginners. 4h

Enjoyed this one so much for its kind, mature, fun characters, and cozy vibes. I wanted an epilogue in the worst way.

1. I like to make lists. I also have a reading tracker to plan my TBRs every month. I had 67 Netgalley books on my Oct TBR but then my dog passed away on Oct 25 and that messed up the reading plan I had so I just mood read for the rest of the month. I‘m not in the mood to read any of those Netgalley books anymore so I‘m not adding them to any TBRs until I feel like reading them.

This book is a cozy hug! Eve‘s journey through a surprise pregnancy, discovering herself & friends-to-lovers romance is predictable but perfect. The warmth, charm and heartfelt moments shine. There‘s also a found family vibe here. The audiobook was fantastic, bringing these lovable characters to life. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 ❤️📚
