Motherhood
This is a wonderful story about finding old loves, realizing who your parents are. Each woman in the story are a different points in the life of becoming mom’s. But they support each other in good ways. Can can’t wait to read more.
Not what I was looking for. Nice story…
Heartbreak Café is a mixture of a slight mystery, exploration of lives in different settings. Handicap issues, lots of babies and life of a movie star to boot. Great read
If you like Irish writers this is a great book! Easy read and good sweet ending.
The writing in the book was technically good writing. I was not enamored of the multiple storylines in it. These storylines made the book seem choppy and broke up the flow of the book
I love all of the books in this series. They don’t need to be read in order, and each is just as enjoyable as another.
I didn’t expect the ending to this book. It was indeed heartwarming to see the main character come to see her father in a new light and hope for their future.
Really liked all the different characters.
I originally thought it would be too much light and fluff. Was pleasantly surprised that the characters and plot were very realistic and multifaceted.
Was predictable
I liked the book in the end, but had a hard time getting into. Most of the way through I felt like I was reading two different stories
.
Good storyline. Editing wasn’t the best.
Good quick read.
Great read
Enjoyed some of the unexpected turns in this story. Others were predictable. I seem to enjoy the stories set in England/Ireland. Even went to order more in the series but was traveling. Will do when I get home!
I read it to learn just a little more about Ireland… and I did get a glimpse more than I knew! Enjoyed the read…
Characters were real and often unpredictable. Enjoyed the story and the story held my interest
Okay but too much jumping around trying to figure out who’s doing what.
I enjoyed this book.
Alrhough it turned out to be a “Happily ever after” book, it was good. It had enough twists to make it interesting.
