A review by mysticforestcrafts
The Shop on Blossom Street by Debbie Macomber
3.25
Pros:
I wasn’t sure about this book at first. The main characters were so different and I’m not usually a fan of multiple points of view. I think this book is a good exception to that as it is done exceptionally well and without overlapping and rehashing the same things over and over. The different perspectives are four very different lives that are slowly influencing each other and it is amazing to see how they help each other grow into some of their hidden potential.
Cons:
This is a product of the early 2000s so some things in it are a bit cringy. Specifically the attitude about weight, food and health. For people who have struggled with eating disorders, body dysmorphia, food addiction and the like it would be important not to go in blind as there is a strong potential for triggers. Likewise people who have struggled with infertility could find the story both hard and healing.
