Very good read.

Didn’t like the plot, didn’t like the characters. What else is there to say.

Eh.

Everyone will want to live at Tom Lake. This family has rich layers.

I loved everything about this book. The characters, some perfect, some flawed, but every single one was a warm hug at one point or another as this beautiful story unfolded. Even the few slow parts were beautifully written to culminate into an unexpected ending. Thank you Ms. Patcher for sharing this heartwarming and heartbreaking story with all of us.

I enjoyed the perspective of how the story was told. By sharing the story via multiple conversations with the primary character’s daughters, the author is allowing the story to be its own character. I wasn’t sure this was the book for me, initially, but I soon found myself quite vested. A great read with some surprising revelations.

Loved the writing. So relatable.

Rambling adventure with no real point. Read for book club or wouldn’t have read. Ugh!

Trite. Didn’t care enough about the characters

This is my first book by AP. I absolutely loved it. Rich characters. Full circle story. Relatable. Believable. Feels like it could be a true story but of course it isn’t. I could see this as a movie. Really enjoyed it!!
