Willie + Aria

Edible Arrangements, penned by the talented Cassandra B, weaves a heartwarming tale of love, loss, and unexpected connections in the charming town of Glendale. Aria McFee's return home, orchestrated by her late brother's will, sets the stage for a delightful exploration of second chances and the unpredictability of life.

Aria's attempt to settle back into the rhythm of Glendale encounters an unexpected twist when a last-minute hiccup leaves her with no choice but to seek assistance from the local handyman, William James Bernett. The beginning story showcases the tension and unease between Aria and William, promising emotional depth and the potential for a blossoming romance.

The narrative's strength lies in its ability to navigate the complexities of grief and readjustment. Aria's struggles with her changed reality and compromised vision add layers to the storyline, allowing readers to empathize with her journey. Cassandra B skillfully captures the essence of small-town dynamics, creating a vivid backdrop for the characters' evolving relationships.

The character of William James Bernett, the local handyman with a comfortable life rooted in his hometown, introduces an intriguing dynamic to the plot. William's long-buried emotions are stirred by his connection with Aria, setting the stage for a compelling exploration of the intricacies of love and personal growth.

Edible Arrangements is a blend of sweetness and complexity as Aria and William navigate the unexpected turns of life. The title itself suggests a delightful analogy, perhaps hinting at the beautiful and intricate relationships that can emerge from seemingly simple situations. Readers can anticipate a symphony of emotions as the characters grapple with their pasts and strive to build a future together.

Cassandra B's Edible Arrangements is a captivating read, offering a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the unexpected connections that shape our lives. With well-drawn characters and a promising premise, this book is a delightful addition to the romance genre.

A second chance at the one that got away. I love the mutual pining and the little push that came from Weston. What a way to honor him by honoring themselves! Mrs. McFee was hilarious!

“.. it's my mission to take all the baggage, unpack it, organize it, and throw out what you don't have space for. I'm going to love you so damn good you're not going to have room or time to think about what happened before me." - Willie

Corny!

There wasn’t much substance to this book. The first 80% of the story was the main characters’ self reflection on why they should be together. The tie in of his girl being his edible arrangement was really cheesy. The happy ending was predictable. This book left a lot to be desired.

Complete

Willie and Aria were meant to be. Out of tragedy came happiness that was long overdue. Willie knew Aria was his. His patience was commendable because Aria was a handful!, in a good way of course. Both of their mothers were sassy, I loved it. Although this was a short read, there was no unanswered questions, no lack of character development. For such a short story, it was complete.

Okay Big Willie!

William James was not to be played with and Aria had to learn that the hard way. Their journey wasn’t perfect but it beautifully their’s.
