4.0

Thank you to my partner, Suzy Approved Book Tours, and the author. I appreciate the gifted and signed paperback, and I am leaving this review voluntarily!

1. ๐ˆ๐ง๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐š๐ง๐ ๐‡๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐  - Neena truly finds inspiration and healing in the least likely source. JFK Jr arrives in Neenaโ€™s life just when she needs him, and although it takes some time, she sees the reason behind his appearance. 

2. ๐๐š๐ซ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐  - As parents, we do think we know what is best for our kids; however, there comes a time when we need to allow our children to make their mistakes. That is how they grow. Neena and Rosie grapple with this gridlock throughout the story.

3. ๐†๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐ญ - Why is it so easy to hold onto guilt even when it is not something we should feel responsible for? Neena has two incredibly tragic events in her life that have been detrimental to her well-being: one for many years and one more recent. She has to learn how to forgive herself for things that were not in her control. 

4. ๐‡๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฒ - A little bit of history is interwoven within the story with the Kennedy/Bessette wedding. What an interesting piece of history with how they were able to keep it secret even with their celebrity. Cumberland Island sounds like an idyllic destination!

5. ๐–๐ก๐ž๐ง ๐˜๐จ๐ฎ ๐‹๐ž๐š๐ฌ๐ญ ๐„๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ž๐œ๐ญ ๐ˆ๐ญ - Isnโ€™t it wonderful when amazing things happen in the least likely of times. Besides โ€œmeetingโ€ JFK Jr, Neena finds herself immersed in the lovely people at the inn - both the workers and the fellow visitors. Just when her heart needed healing, Neena triumphs and moves some mountains!
