2.5 stars. Although I enjoyed the writing style, the conclusion of this story fell flat. Very flat. There was potential there and it just never happened. Disappointed.

This book has a little bit of everything: romance, mystery, medical drama and a town full of wonderful characters! It's so fun to go back and read older books of a beloved author

I wanted to like this book a lot and in some ways I did. But there wasn't a whole lot to the story and at times it was meandering and slow. It had potential.

I think I was drawn to the cover art of this book more than anything else... I have mixed feeling about it now that I have finished. There were parts of the story that I found compelling and parts that I found dull. I wanted to it to dive deeper into certain plot lines that were merely touched upon and felt unfinished. I both enjoyed and was some what frustrated by the ending. A solid "liked" but did not "love" for this one.

Maybe I just wasn't ready for this book as it reminded me of themes that I recently read in Michelle Huneven's Off Course, but I wasn't feeling this one. Where it did succeed for me was Sylvia and her part of the story. Good book, not for me.

I think I liked the characters and the set up, but I wasn't particularly engaged, and the ending sort of wrapped up oddly.
