In the second “Sweethaven” novel, we’ve again picked up with these beloved new characters from “A Sweethaven Summer”.
What I love so much about this novel (and it’s prequel) is while the story lines focuses primarily on one main character (in this case, Megan) there is much to be loved and deepened in the lives of the other members of “The Circle.” Each of these women bring something to the story that not only impacts their lives, but the lives of their friends and their community. It’s a tightly knit story fashioned upon past mistakes and the need for forgiveness. Both to accept and give.
Megan is a difficult character to like, I won’t lie. But her longing to do the right thing by her children, while misguided, is the force to keep me reading when I did become frustrated with her poor decisions.
There is so much depth to this story! I see no reason to believe why there can’t be another Sweethaven novel because the characters all have their own story to tell. I would love to know more about Lila’s story and fall more in love with Campbell and Luke’s romance. I hope they both play a more prominent role in the coming novel.
From dialogue to writing style. Characters to setting. To the passion behind the writing voice for these four women, is a story that makes me eager to return to Sweethaven again and again.
This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publishers through CFBA for my copy to review.
