br3nda 's review for:

Window on the Bay by Debbie Macomber
3.0

It was a good read, not great, but good. I wasn't sure if I liked either of the main characters though. There were times that I was thinking I wouldn't like these ladies if I meant them IRL. Their opinions of people who work in construction (like plumbing) and restaurant workers came across as they thought themselves as better. That these kind of jobs were beneath them and that really turned me off to them. Also, Jenna had a really bad habit of jumping to her own conclusion and not listening to what the other person was thinking, or feeling. Actually I think Maureen did too.

My favourite quote was in the epilogue:
"When we found her, she'd had this wonderful look of contentment on her face. In my heart, I knew the happy look on her face happened in the short space between life and death when she first saw my father. The instant she'd recognized him, she was complete again, and he'd reached across time and eternity to draw her close."
