4.5 stars.
This is my second Heather Webber read and I'm not sure which of her two books I have enjoyed more. Her writing and characters are magically reminiscent of Sarah Addison Allen and have a wonderful warmth to them. I adore the way she crafts her characters and gives the town such a wonderful set of diverse personalities and Southern charm.
The read itself is smoothly paced, with good side plots and a charming feel. There is a need to somewhat suspend reality, but isn't that what magical realism is all about? Some pieces are undeniably convenient, but I loved the writing enough that this didn't matter. It's just a good, light-hearted, pick-me-up read and I very much enjoyed it.
