While The Peach Keeper didn't have as much magical realism behind it as some of Sarah Addison Allen's other books, I still enjoyed reading it. This was a very sad, yet very heart-warming story about loss, friendship, and growing into who you are.The characters were all cute. Even the crotchety grand...
Unfortunately, The Peach Keeper lacks the magic that made Garden Spells such a breath-taking read. And by magic, I mean that in both a literal and metaphorical sense. Literal because Allen is renowned for her magical realism contemporaries and, sadly, this novel lacks the magical component of that t...

Yet another beautifully surprising novel from one of my favorite authors! Twists and turns, romance and history... I think I still like The Girl Who Chased the Moon a smidgen better but this was also a great read!

This was my first book by Sarah Addison Allen and I really enjoyed it. The story was well written and stressed the importance of timeless friendship, and taking risks to find your own personal road to happiness without worrying about the judgement of others. Its a story of coming into yourself, ...
Ms Addison Allen's works always leave me smiling. Magic, romance a bit of mystery and great characters seem to be her trademark. There was also, great narration for this audiobook, which is always a story maker/breaker for me. 4 Stars
I didn't like this one as much as some of her others. The characters weren't as well-drawn and some were downright eye-roll-worthy. But I enjoyed the idea of remodeling an old house and finding the ghost that lived nearby.

In college, she majored in literat...
