You Are Invited to the Weddings of the Season!

Thank you to Gallery Books and Mary Alice Monroe for a copy of A Low Country Wedding.  This novel was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

Who is ready for the summer reading season?  I know I am.  What better way to kick it off than with not one but two weddings.  A Low Country Wedding is the fourth novel in the Summer Girls series.  It follows Summer Girls, Summer Wind, and Summer's End.

Synopsis:

It is time to plan the weddings for both Harper and Carson.  What about Dora?  She has moved on since the divorce and her relationship and life seem to be moving forward with Devlin.  Will she marry him?  Harper is the owner now of Sea Breeze and Mamaw has moved to the cottage.  Will owning Sea Breeze cause problems between Harper and Tyler?  What about Granny James and her idea of a prenuptial agreement?   Then there is Carson who is coming back from her job.  Will she stay committed to Blake?  And then there is one more surprise every wedding needs a pastor to officiate.  Atticus Green becomes the perfect candidate to officiate the weddings.  He has other reasons for being there as well.

My Thoughts:

What a novel to start the summer with?  I could not wait to sit down each day and read.  A novel that is great has these factors for me:

One the novel is a page turner when you don’t know that time has passed as you read.

Two the writing is flawless and seamless from one page to the next.  This shows exceptional skill by Mary Alice Monroe.

Three the plot must be engrossing!

These factors are all present in A Low Country Wedding.   It is by far my favorite of the series!

Rating:

5/5

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
