A beautiful and wise book

Revisado: 03-14-25

A beautiful book that was life-changing for me and even if it doesn't have such a dramatic impact are you, it will give you a fresh perspective on life today. There is a lot of wisdom and hope in this book. I highly recommend it!

Familiar plot but well written

Revisado: 03-09-25

This was well written with some great twists. Although it's a familiar plot with stereotypical characters, the author will keep your interest all the way to the end

A wonderful book on healing, hope inspiration, and how we can gather all those things from the garden. I recommend it for anyone going through a tough time or even if you're not. It's a lovely book.

Fun story but flaws

Revisado: 02-11-25

Narration was excellent and and the story was enjoyable, but bthere were some flaws that were hard to accept. First, totally unrealistic two young, single , healthy adults slept in the same bed together night after night and not become intimate. A lot happened and only in one week? totally unrealistic, but if you can accept those things, it's an enjoyable read.

Darker than what I expected

Revisado: 01-20-25

From the cover and summary, I thought this would be an interesting and fun book to read. It was, initially, and she did a very good job of revealing what it was like to be a woman in the 50s, but then it turned dark and very sad. I didn't finish the book. Maybe it becomes uplifting, inspiring, valuable lessons learned, but the sadness in the following chapters, I didn't want to go through.
If you are interested in this book, just be prepared for it to make a dramatic turn

A delightful book

Revisado: 08-04-24

This is a delightful book with a lot of humor and struggle to start an egg company. But this is more than just a story of one couple's struggle and eventual "success." They are helping to change the structure of our food supply from behemoth corporation farms to those barely surviving with what is called middle farms . You need to read the book to find out more and it's very interesting. I highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed

As a side note , I was not liking Jason at all initially because he gave ultimatums – I want to start an egg farm. I want to buy a farm, we can move into the farmhouse. No sense of working as a team, or his asking how do you feel about this commitment, or would you be willing to go along with it, But then later on, when she had to make her own ultimatum, although it wasn't what he wanted, he agreed to do it for her. And in time, she embraced this new way of life.

Great characters and story

Revisado: 07-07-24

This is a great story with romance, mystery, many layers and a twist. I've never been disappointed by the coffee house series and this one was also excellent.
The descriptions of the coffee and all the books are so rich and delicious which is an added treat and I don't even drink coffee . The only downside, was Claire , the main character , witnesses another character's head blown off. After that, everything went back to normal, and I would think she would at the very least, need therapy after witnessing such a brutal scene. I would've been much happier with just a gunshot.
However, still great story

Not a lighthearted cozy completely

Revisado: 06-19-24

I was looking for a light, fun mystery, and this seemed to be the ticket. It was not. It started out that way but after the first mystery, which I thought was going to be the main one, came a second and the story became very dark. In addition, after a few pages, the main characters affected by this went on with life as if it were normal again which is totally unrealistic. It would take the characters a long time to get over what happened. So you are left with, is this a cozy, is this a dark story, no wait it's a cozy ?

Also, I didn't care for the narrator. She sounded like a little girl.Some of her voices for the other characters were better, but for the main character, I felt like I was listening to a 16-year-old.

Clever idea for a story but…

Revisado: 06-06-24

First, I didn't finish this book and maybe all of the characters redeemed themselves. The premise of the story was good, but it's composed of very depressing people. There is not a redeemable
quality among them except maybe the podcaster. I also found it very creepy when the main female character would hear voices that whispered to her how to murder someone . CREEPY . I hardly warmed up to her. Pretty depressing book and I wouldn't recommend it.
