SILVER LININGS
Debbie Macomber

Reviewed by Sharon Salituro

Romance | Women's Fiction

In SILVER LININGS, Coco and Katie are returning to Cedar Cove to attend their ten-year class reunion. Both want to confront the person who they felt had changed their lives: Coco, to confront the football quarterback who took her virginity and than bragged about it to his friends and never called her again; and Katie is there to maybe reconnect with the love of her life.

Jo Marie owns the Rose Harbor Inn. She had lost her husband Paul when he was killed in Iraq. Mark is the handyman who Jo Marie has become very close too. Out of the blue, Mark tells her that he loves her but is leaving town. Jo Marie is baffled. He loves her but is leaving? Mark has many secrets that he is not willing to tell Jo Marie.

All three have the best intentions, but will their dreams come true? We can only hope for the best for all three.

Debbie Macomber writes the best books. I have read her books for several years and each is better than the last. I have been watching the Cedar Cove series on Netflix, and I can't wait for the next season to start.

Debbie Macomber puts you right into Cedar Cove. What a lovely town to live in. Everyone knows each other but don't interfere in their lives. Debbie Macomber books leave me feeling very happy inside. Not many books can make a person feel this way. I am only hoping the next one will continue the story of Jo Marie and Mark.

SUMMARY

Set in Cedar Cove’s charming Rose Harbor Inn, Debbie Macomber’s captivating new novel follows innkeeper Jo Marie and two new guests as they seek healing and comfort, revealing that every cloud has a silver lining, even when it seems difficult to find. Since opening the Rose Harbor Inn, Jo Marie Rose has grown close to her handyman, Mark Taylor. Jo Marie and Mark are good friendsβ€”and are becoming something moreβ€”yet he still won’t reveal anything about his past. When Mark tells her that he’s moving out of town, Jo Marie is baffled. Just when she is starting to open herself up again to love, she feels once more that she is losing the man she cares about. And as she discovers the secret behind Mark’s decision to leave, she welcomes two visitors also seeking their own answers. Best friends Kellie Crenshaw and Katie Gilroy have returned to Cedar Cove for their ten-year high school reunion, looking to face down old hurts and find a sense of closure. Kellie, known as Coco, wants to finally confront the boy who callously broke her heart. Katie, however, wishes to reconnect with her old boyfriend, Jamesβ€”the man she still loves and the one who got away. As Katie hopes for a second chance, Coco discovers that people can changeβ€”and both look to the exciting possibilities ahead. Heartwarming and uplifting, Silver Linings is a beautiful novel of letting go of the past and embracing the unexpected.
