What a reunion for four friends coming home for different reasons who easily reconnect and support each other. Jessica, Risa, Haley and Mary Nell are friends who are family. They know each other and can share themselves and still understand where life’s ups and downs have taken them. You will want to grab a glass of tea, find a shady spot and enjoy this book! I love Carolyn’s books. There is friendship, family, laughter, tears and quotes that bring back so many memories. Another wonderful book by Carolyn Brown. I received an ARC for an honest review. 5+ stars!

RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ STEAM: ⭐ Haley, Jessica, Mary-Nell, Risa, and Wade went to high school together, and after twenty years, they are back in their hometown, dealing with some life struggles. Divorce, eviction, grief, family secrets -- this group had to deal with those and more. When one of them gets an old church from her inheritance, they decide to work together and convert the space into a bar and grill. This book had everything: angst, conflict, love, humor, and lots and lots of food. At the core of the book, however, is the friendship, and it was wonderful to see them pull each other up and rise above their individual and collective adversities together. There is a slow-burn romance between two lovers, but the main focus is on the love and resilience of five friends who have come back to their hometown of Riverbend, TX.
