Very strong novel and strong characters but lost its momentum at the 70% mark where the plot really slowed down to an almost snail-like pace. Everything then focused on a court case and once that was completed the other sub-plots were QUICKLY tied up despite them taking up the majority of the book.

Felt as if this was written to be a Hallmark movie.

It took me a little bit to get into this, but once I did, I just had to keep reading! I really enjoyed reading about the old library deliveries by pack horse or mule. The bonds the girls had with their horses/mules was sweet.

Alice drove me nuts. I do not care for romance. This seems like Where the Crawdads Sings meets Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants or Sex and the City.

The historical background and the lovely setting were nice the best parts for me.

I really enjoyed this book. Started listening, but had to switch to reading so I could see what happened faster. Now I'm sad it over. Satisfying love story. Good history. Strong women characters. Funny moments. A couple very sad parts.
