A sweet, heartfelt, old-fashioned romance. I loved how the middle-aged adults take such a kindly interest in the affairs of the young people, leading to a novel with many generations having friendships across age demographics in a way we see very little of in our daily lives today. Phoebe, David, Caroline, Andrew, and the Buchanans were delightful lead characters to follow and root for. An easy read.

Not quite five stars because of some period racial terms (not meant cruelly, but still there) and a few moments of frustration with a couple characters.
