You're welcome! And I'm glad it sounds good, because it is. :D

Great review! It really gave me a good feel for what the book was about as well as it's strengths and weaknesses, without spoiling anything.
Congrats to the author on BOTD!

Great review! I didn't realize it includes a Christmas theme. I may have to reconsider purchasing it. I love these types of books during the holidays.

Me, too! Even though it's not technically a Christmas book, I selected it as one of my Christmas Book Picks on my blog last year, since it's more than appropriate for the holiday season.

Great review. I don't often read women's fiction but I like the general themes of life and love and an emotional connection. Sounds like a good summer read.

Thanks you Roberta, The Bennetts seem to be like a very interesting family, and this 3 women remind me a little of other 3 in my life, so I can feel quite related to the story. Thank you, Simon

Intriguing and well-written review that perked my interest in the book. Looking forward to curling up with this read and disappear for awhile in the world of the Bennett Women

:) Yes, sometimes I read outside of my normal genres if a book has a general/universal theme or two I'm interested in. I'll admit it hasn't happened over-often, but I've been trying to branch out a little more this year. :D

Great review! Seeing that it's Christmas themed, I will tuck it away until then to read.

Nice review! I've added this book to my 'want to read' shelf! It was a well rounded review. I like the way you brought back positives even while discussing weaknesses in the book. Very honest and insightful. Thank you for a great review.
