Misty Mornings is a story strong with emotion， full of sadness， and lots of different hearts that were all hurting with their own problems at the same time。 One moment you are cheering that Ethan and Leiklyn are getting along so well and hope they finally decide to make a life together， then you are struck with the hurt of Myla's news and wonder what is going to happen now。 Trent shows that he is growing into a knowledgeable young man under the teaching of Ethan。 Tiffany says she never really fo Misty Mornings is a story strong with emotion， full of sadness， and lots of different hearts that were all hurting with their own problems at the same time。 One moment you are cheering that Ethan and Leiklyn are getting along so well and hope they finally decide to make a life together， then you are struck with the hurt of Myla's news and wonder what is going to happen now。 Trent shows that he is growing into a knowledgeable young man under the teaching of Ethan。 Tiffany says she never really found love as she was going through her third divorce then。 And Willan had always wanted perfection in her life and had let so many years past without giving any guys a chance to fall in love with her and now she is regretting always feeling so right， so perfect。 But they all felt that Indigo Inn in Blueberry Beach was the place to come home to， to heal their hurts， and make a better future for them all。 。。。more

I was quickly drawn into this story as three 18 yo best girlfriends made a pact to return to Blueberry Beach in 18 years。 Fast forward 18 years and the reader gets to see what changes have taken place in their lives。 Featured in this book was Leiklyn who left Blueberry Beach hoping to escape a terrible secret she feels deeply guilty about。 Now divorced and a single mother， Leiklyn has moved back with plans to refurbish and open an inn。 To her dismay， she has to rely upon her former boyfriend Eth I was quickly drawn into this story as three 18 yo best girlfriends made a pact to return to Blueberry Beach in 18 years。 Fast forward 18 years and the reader gets to see what changes have taken place in their lives。 Featured in this book was Leiklyn who left Blueberry Beach hoping to escape a terrible secret she feels deeply guilty about。 Now divorced and a single mother， Leiklyn has moved back with plans to refurbish and open an inn。 To her dismay， she has to rely upon her former boyfriend Ethan who now owns the local hardware store。 This book dealt with some heavy issues that are relevant to the culture in which we live。 Forgiveness， redemption， true friendship， and unconditional love are themes that permeate the story。 I loved it and high recommend it。 I was entrusted with an ARC from the author and this voluntary review contains my honest opinions。 。。。more

I have enjoyed many of Jessie Gussman's books and I usually read them rather quickly。 This time I didn't want to put it down。 I started it in the evening because I had just finished book 4 in the series and I thought I would "just get started。" HA。。。so much for putting it down。 I finished it at about 3:50 a。m。 This story is addressing a very difficult topic （teenage pregnancy） and I just couldn't wait to see how Jessie would address this very emotional topic。 I was not disappointed。 The story wa I have enjoyed many of Jessie Gussman's books and I usually read them rather quickly。 This time I didn't want to put it down。 I started it in the evening because I had just finished book 4 in the series and I thought I would "just get started。" HA。。。so much for putting it down。 I finished it at about 3:50 a。m。 This story is addressing a very difficult topic （teenage pregnancy） and I just couldn't wait to see how Jessie would address this very emotional topic。 I was not disappointed。 The story was engaging and the characters struggled with how to respond， but grace and truth found a way。 This is a book that entertains and teaches without in any way being preachy。 。。。more

I thought this was a great story; It also teaches that you might make a mistake but your parents will always love you。 Just like with God， we make mistakes but if we are sorry He will forgive us and He always loves us。 I highly recommend this。

I found this book interesting as it began with a high school pact made between three， young girls graduating from high school。 I liked that it fast forward and it is fifteen years later and they all had met together。 I liked that they were reflecting on their lives and their future。 I found it fascinating that all three had decided to return to the one place they could not wait to get away from， Blueberry Beach。The characters really made this story， especially Leiklyn and Ethan， who had carried I found this book interesting as it began with a high school pact made between three， young girls graduating from high school。 I liked that it fast forward and it is fifteen years later and they all had met together。 I liked that they were reflecting on their lives and their future。 I found it fascinating that all three had decided to return to the one place they could not wait to get away from， Blueberry Beach。The characters really made this story， especially Leiklyn and Ethan， who had carried a tremendous secret between them that broke up their friendship in high school。 I enjoyed watching them open up to each other and to try to overcome and move on together from the past。 I found it interesting how Leiklyn's past paralleled that of her daughter， Myla。 I especially liked that faith and forgiveness were woven into this story， as well as， regret for Ethan and Leiklyn。 I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review。 。。。more

I am in awe of these three women who have lived the first half of their lives， thinking they've failed， and are willing to pick up， dust themselves off， and give it a go - doing something entirely different。 That is what we have the opportunity to do every day。 What an inspiring book。 The characters are certainly human - and there are generational mistakes occurring- the same mistake happening with mother and daughter - and each is given the same set of choices - and they are handling things bea I am in awe of these three women who have lived the first half of their lives， thinking they've failed， and are willing to pick up， dust themselves off， and give it a go - doing something entirely different。 That is what we have the opportunity to do every day。 What an inspiring book。 The characters are certainly human - and there are generational mistakes occurring- the same mistake happening with mother and daughter - and each is given the same set of choices - and they are handling things beautifully。 I loved reading this book！ Jessie Gussman is able to take everyday life and make it extraordinary！ 。。。more

After high school， Laiklyn and her two friends agreed to meet in Blueberry Beach in 18 years' time。 As the chosen date approached， finding her jobless， Laiklyn decides to move back and move into the old inn the three had bought cheap just before leaving。 But the inn needs work， and the only person in Blueberry Beach who would be able to do the work is Ethan - the man who knows her deepest， darkest secret and who， as a result， she's avoided for twenty years。 Will she run again， or is it time to s After high school， Laiklyn and her two friends agreed to meet in Blueberry Beach in 18 years' time。 As the chosen date approached， finding her jobless， Laiklyn decides to move back and move into the old inn the three had bought cheap just before leaving。 But the inn needs work， and the only person in Blueberry Beach who would be able to do the work is Ethan - the man who knows her deepest， darkest secret and who， as a result， she's avoided for twenty years。 Will she run again， or is it time to start healing at last？ And if she stays， will she at last be able to open herself to love？I've been looking forward to Laiklyn's story since I read the epilogue to book 4， and it didn't disappoint - except inasmuch as I now really want her friends' books！ This was a touching story of forgiveness and healing for long-buried mistakes， and also showed how our past mistakes can be something we can learn from and use to help others。 I also liked the way the whole town continues to gather together in support of those who need it。 Another delightful visit to Blueberry Beach， and it was nice to see a little more of some previous couples， though this can also be read as a standalone story。 Recommended！Note that I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author。 I was not required to write a positive review and this is my considered opinion of the book。 。。。more

It's been 18 years since the 3 friends last caught up and none of their lives are what they thought they would be。 However it is never too late for a fresh start even if it isn't easy （and spoiler - it isn't）。 Another thought provoking enjoyable read by Jessie Gussman - Christian without being preachy - and I look forward to the next in the series。 I received an ARC but this review is my own。 It's been 18 years since the 3 friends last caught up and none of their lives are what they thought they would be。 However it is never too late for a fresh start even if it isn't easy （and spoiler - it isn't）。 Another thought provoking enjoyable read by Jessie Gussman - Christian without being preachy - and I look forward to the next in the series。 I received an ARC but this review is my own。 。。。more

Wonderful story of friends， their mistakes and their decision and efforts to change their lives for the better。 Laiklyn made a terrible choice as a teenager and had kept it a secret from everyone for about 20 years due to guilt and shame。 When she felt the need to reveal it to help someone else she realized that although she had made a bad choice， her story could help others。 Forgiveness， love and a beautiful location all came together in a wonderful book， providing life lessons along the way。Re Wonderful story of friends， their mistakes and their decision and efforts to change their lives for the better。 Laiklyn made a terrible choice as a teenager and had kept it a secret from everyone for about 20 years due to guilt and shame。 When she felt the need to reveal it to help someone else she realized that although she had made a bad choice， her story could help others。 Forgiveness， love and a beautiful location all came together in a wonderful book， providing life lessons along the way。Received ARC in return for this， my honest review。 。。。more

Another amazing story！ The storyline was full of emotion and well developed characters that is told in a heartwarming way。 Coming home again doesn’t always mean you’re taking a step backwards， sometimes it’s a huge step in a new direction。 That’s what part of this story is about， it’s also about learning to forgive yourself flaws and all。

Great story。 I really love these Blueberry Beach novels。 The small town and friendly， helpful neighbors make me wish I could live there。 Laiklyn and Ethan have a very painful history。 They need to learn to forgive themselves and each other。 All the characters are well written and draw you into their lives even though they are flawed。 Can’t wait for the next one。I received a free copy of this book and this is my voluntary， honest review。
