Title: Blossom Street Brides
By Debbie Macomber
The Gist:
When Lauren receives the news
that her younger sister is pregnant, she cannot help but feel a sting. She has been with her boyfriend, a guy
who is everything that she thought she wanted, for years, but is no closer to
the alter. As she begins to
brainstorm the qualities that are actually important for her future husband to
exhibit, she is forced to decide if the guy she’s with is truly what she wants.
Bethanne is head-over-heels in
love with her second husband Max, but the stresses of working in different
states are only exacerbated by a meddling ex-husband and a daughter that still
dreams of her parents getting back together. In search of a compromise, this couple must decide what they
can live without in order to finally live together.
Lydia is a happily married mother
of two who is living her dream of running a yarn shop on Blossom Street, a
place where women come to talk, listen and knit. The finances of the shop are looking dire, until baskets,
with an open invitation to knit begin showing up all over town. Suddenly A Good Yarn is generating buzz
and turning a profit, but who is to thank?
What I thought:
This was a great feel-good read. I have not read any of the other
Blossom Street novels, but I am a big fan of Debbie Macomber. This story will whisk you away to
Seattle where you will find yourself dreaming of the one with Lauren, holding
tight with Bethanne, and following a passion with Lydia. All the while you will have a smile on
your face as you flip page after page to find out how everything will turn out
for these women.
Miss Macomber did an absolutely wonderful job of
blending three entirely different storylines together into one cohesive
novel. I enjoyed how the women
appeared and helped each other get to the point of resolution. I never once felt that the writing
jumped to quickly or that it left any loose ends untied.
If you are looking for a good love story full of romantic gestures, family drama (and resolution), a little knitting, and a great group of friends, check out Blossom Street Brides.
