Great story and great narration

I loved this book! Funny, witty, romantically, but just a good hometown story of a Central Texas community. Thank you Lisa Wingate and Joanna for your story and narration! Looking forward to book 2!

One of My Repeats

I highly recommend this book. The characters are true characters. They remind me of the places and people of my growing up years. Listen for the laughter, and the the soul stretching and the tears.

Talk of the town

I loved the ending. It wasn’t so rushed as some of her other book endings seem to be.

Kept my attention throughout

Lisa Wingate is a wonderful story telling. She understands human nature and today’s culture. This story spoke to me because if the small town I grew up in. Her depiction of the local characters were spot on!

Makes you remember that most people are good.

I love a story with a mix of generations and love. All the stories that I have read by this author stay with me. I look forward to more.

Fun story with a Great Ending!!!!

The windup to the ending was predictable and enjoyable. Although I’ve enjoyed many Lisa Wingate’s books I’ve been disappointed in the too quick endings. Not this time!!!!
