Sarah Jio is by far one of my favorite
authors! When I was granted the permission to review the advanced copy I was
more than excited to start on this book right away. This is my 5th
book I have read by her - 4 I own, and I
have already pre-ordered this one since I knew it wouldn’t disappoint!
I love the style in which Sarah writes
her books: the characters she vividly describes, the emotions they experience,
and the environment in which it takes place is written in a very detailed way
which makes it a perfect read for any reader. She writes in a way that truly
gets you involved in the story! I couldn’t help but want to drop everything I was
doing on the weekend just to finish it!
This is a heartwarming story of love
and loss. There are 2 main characters in the story: Penny Wentworth, a 1950’s
housewife, and Ada Santorini, editor of Sunrise magazine. Penny seems to have
it all: an artist husband who takes care of her even when he is absent, a
beautiful home (a houseboat they live on), and she has a genuine sweet-hearted
nature for those around her. However, when she disappears after a party no one
on Boat Street will speak of what happened.
Then there is Ada Santorini. Ada has
lost everything: her husband and her precious little girl. Leaving the memories
behind, she quits her fancy New Year job and moves to Seattle into a houseboat
on Boat Street. There she finds mystery, a community, and maybe a new love.
Will she solve the mystery of boat street and re-build her life at the same
time?
The story ends with an unexpected twist
that leaves the reader EXTREMELY satisfied. Morning Glory was another fabulous
love story, DEFINITELY a must read!!! I look forward to adding this to my Sarah
Jio book collection!
