I read and previously loved Sarah Addison Allen's Garden Spells, The Sugar Queen, and The Girl Who Chased the Moon: A Novel. I read The Peach Keeper: A Novel (Random House Reader's Circle) and found it to be lacking in the same magical realism that I loved about her older novels. There was a lot goi...
Disclaimer! I got a free ARC of this through NetGalley. I have not been promised anything in return for this review, although if people wanted to start bribing me to read their books, that would be ok too.Kate Pheris has been a widow for a year, and has been sleep-walking through her life since her ...
First off, thank you to St Martin's Press and LibraryThing Early Reviewers for a copy of this book. Although it arrived after being published, I appreciate the opportunity to get my hands on a copy. Thank you! I love Sarah Addison Allen. I fell in love with her first book and look forward to anythin...
Wonderful, wonderful book. There was nothing in this book I would change. The ending, enchanting. The story itself I just could not get enough of. I loved that even Cricket wasn't dismissed as either good or bad. Just lovely story. I would recommend this to anyone who loves to read fiction, wh...
Lost Lake is the type of novel that soothes the soul. It is neither flashy nor suspenseful, neither sexy nor snarky. It is an old-fashioned story, in which the characters are ordinary, the setting even more so, and the story as simple as it gets, It meanders much as one does while floating on a slow...

This book was so perfect for me that I don’t feel like a completely objective reviewer. I’ve recently realized that I love books where people’s lives intersect in such a way that they all help each other become happier. This is one of those books. Like The Wedding Bees and other books with a vivid, ...
I can't say enough about this book. I adored it, every single moment. The cabins by the lake are the main setting of the story but they are no longer what they used to be. You can picture them both in their prime when families came to vacation, and present day, still functional but slightly run d...
I have one word for this book – magical. I’ve read all Allen’s previous novels and loved them. I loved this one too. Its external story is simple. Two widows, young Kate and old Eby, lost their husbands. Lost Lake, a dilapidated vacation camp, helps them heal. It also brings them together. There is ...
