The Hideaway
Fabulous story!!!
I listened to the audio version and the narrator had a beautiful perfect voice for this book. I highly recommend reading it or listening to it. It’s a story I’ll remember and recommend to others.
A story that’s a must read.
We feel we know people in our life… but this book will show you, you don’t know everything. We can always stand to learn from others’ lives. Especially our loved ones. This book will take you on a few adventures … of the heart. It’s neatly written and watching the story of these two women’s lives unfold it remarkable! Each character captures you for different reasons. May we all find joy in our own little Hideaway! Must read!!
Real character development?
Gossipy, a cheap play on sentiment, but I don’t know these characters. This could have been truly excellent. My suggestion? Study Fannie Flagg. No one develops a character better.
A decent summer brainless read. No dress, and that’s perhaps enough. I do however give props for the author’s debut president please publication.
