I enjoyed some of the stories in this short story collection. I enjoyed hearing the author's explanations of how each story came to be.

A good book but disappointing overall. This was very predictable and had twists and turns that were not necessary. Additionally the main character's backstory in the first 3 chapters means nothing to the plot. The big reveal comes too early and the story has a huge setting to utilize, but they keep it in one small closet. It gets boring very quickly. The main character's survival is also not believable. While reading, I could hear Agatha Christie spinning in her grave like a rotisserie chicken.

In a small town , Three Pines, Canada, an older woman, a spinster named Jane, is shot dead in the woods by a hunting arrow. She had just had her first piece of artwork accepted into the local art show. Art she hadn't shown to anyone before that moment. Is her death related? who would want her dead ? In a small town where everyone knows everyone, someone is lying. Chief Armand Gamache is called on to investigate. Good character development but a little convoluted in spots.

This book is an adult romance novel about Harriet and Wyn, who have been the “perfect couple”, but they break up. However, they still pretend they are dating because they don’t want to ruin their friends’ last trip at the cottage. I give this book a three out of five stars because it was a good read. I didn’t hate it, but it was not exactly my type of read. For an adult romance, the problems and fights that the characters had felt very teenager like arguments. I liked the friendship dynamic and how there were multiple characters all with their own internal problems so overall it was a good read, just not my favorite.

I don't like rating political books. Nothing in this novel was surprising to me, anyone could see the decline in the President and I think it was more about what people would justify of our leaders to prevent an outcome they didn't want. I read this book because I think it's important to hear from all sides about the truths hidden and manipulated to us from people in power. I also recognize the divisiveness of politics now and I don't want to contribute to that so if this review isn't posted, I completely understand.

Very cute rom-com. I loved all the references to my favorite movies! Well done

The story within the story is what made me give this 5 stars. The mystery involved in Margaret Ives's life really kept me enthralled. There is romance but the love shared within Alice's and Margaret's lives are bigger than any romance. Emily Henry brought home the bigger message that life is about loving, sharing love and how we take care of those we love.

Eve and Charlie are refurbishing an old house when a man shows up with his family claiming that he used to live there and asking if he can show his family around. All of a sudden strange things start happening in the house and the family can’t seem to take the hint to leave. When a dark entity appears in the basement, Charlie disappears without her locket and the house starts changing, Eve starts to freak out. Is Eve imagining these incidents or are they actually happening? Read and find out.

Absolutely outstanding book! I am a huge fan of the show and this book brought back so many great memories of watching the show and made me feel more connected to it. This book is full of interesting behind the scenes stories. It makes me want to re watch the show (again), and I will have a deeper appreciation for the stories. Jim O'Heir is a class act.

Sweet romance book. Nice characters. Highly recommend for a summer beach read.
