pickMegan Buchanan is a historian working to help restore Winter Cottage Estate built by her great-great-grandfather. While staying at the caretaker's cottage, the discovery of old letters written long ago, she comes to know a young woman from another time, a young woman that has secrets to keep. As each letter is read, more of the past is revealed, and Megan is drawn deeper into the connection between past and present. A real treat of a story.
panThis marks my last #Booked2021 for winter! A #KindleUnlimited book with #BakedGoodsOnTheCover, I wish that this had been marketed as a follow-up to Winter Cottage. I hate feeling like I‘m missing out on important backstories! The family ties here get a bit convoluted too- I wish there‘d been a family tree! I tried listening first but the audio highlighted the stilted dialogue that does all the heavy lifting for plot momentum & development. #bujo
#ThoughtfulThursday is BACK! 🌸🌷💜🎉
🪁I love to see the flowers coming up & the return of the longer days.
🪁Yes! As the weather warms, I tend to read lighter, shorter books.

Starting Spring House today. Kinda worried because it only has a 40% rating here. But I read Winter Cottage and it has some of the same characters, so well see how it goes.
pan⭐️⭐️A beautiful cover, but an awful book. The story has good bones, but between the painfully forced dialogue & slow as molasses plot—I struggled to finish this book. I was bored to tears. The unimpressive, cliche, over dramatic dialogue really annoyed me. I only finished it because I wanted to discover all the details of the Kincaid/Buchanan/Jessup Family mystery, which was the highlight of the novel.

pickEnjoyed this lighter multiple-timeline story that had just enough questions to keep me reading! There could have been a deeper look into some of the storylines and a longer ending (it felt rushed) for a more complex book. But overall an interesting history and an engaging enough contemporary story to keep me reading!
⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
