The Plan is the third book in The Creek Water Series, each book is a stand-alone but they work better when you have the back story for each of the characters since they all cross over into each book. This is Amelia Frothingham, bead store owner, she is the older sibling to Brad and Davis and she has been keeping a huge secret from her family and friends, well just everyone. This is unlike Whitney’s usual style of writing rom-com in that the subject matter is serious and as such there are only a few one-liners that will make you laugh out loud. I’m loving the serious nature and how she can tell this story and let it flow naturally without it being preaching, it just another level in her writing style and I just thrilled about her scope as a writer/author. The subject matter is prevalent and it shines a light on emotional well being. I loved it!
Huck is Amelia’s superstar crush. She loves all of his songs. She so surprised when he showed up in her town. There’s an instant attraction between the two but Amelia wants long term and refuses his advances. Huck is a single parent is is attracted to Amelia, Huck and his daughter is determined to change her mind and reevaluates his. Huck’s mysterious ways and secrets challenges their relationship. However when the secret is revealed it affects many lives in the town. This is an emotional read with a lot of funny moments. Love how the author addresses anxiety. Engaging and recommended read.
Didn’t love this book
Not my favorite of the series, but an okay read.
I really enjoyed this book. It had depth and a a different kind of topic through out along with some lol parts. I will probably read the set of books in this set.
