Age 57 in the 60’s vs Age 57 in 2025, quite different.

Great story! I felt it should be titled The Vidalia rather than Sweet Vidalia. (Sweet Vidalia makes me think of the Netflix show Sweet Magnolias) I also wanted her to keep her Vidalia connections in the end. The Vidalia, in my opinion, is what held her up through her turmoil.

The character development of the mother and if each daughter is so perfect. This one hit home for me. I was brought to tears a few times as I can relate to some of it. The narrator was fantastic, she’s quite talented. 5 Stars, I’ll pick it for book club.

Elijah Wood was the perfect narrator for this classic tale. I think I read this as a child or maybe my mother read it to me but I wanted to take it in again as an adult. I’m so glad I decided to listen.

This was not your typical Hallmark romance. There were some twists and heartbreaks in Evelyn’s life but that probably made it more realistic. Narrator was great. I was definitely invested in the characters.

I can so relate. I have been buying banned books for a while and just recently decided I would go and put them in the Little Free Libraries in our county. I feel like Kristen does that even though I grew up in the south, I had educated parents who taught me that although there were many different people in the world, none were better than any other. They also taught me that though other religions believed differently, not one was right or wrong, just different. Enjoyed the book. Enjoyed the happy ending. Would love to see it come to fruition.

Had very little to do with banned books. Typical romance novel. I liked the characters and read to the end to find out what would happen.

The narrator was too old for the 30 year old character. The story was predictable.

Got a little extra twisty but I was all in. Rooting for all of them.

This was a wonderful book! Rooting for her all the way! In some ways it’s the odd lonely girl gets a makeover, but not really; it’s the other way around, Cassandra learns to love herself the way she is rather than changes. I can’t say too much more without giving it all away but it’s so worth the read!!

The library wasn’t a particularly important location. A different name may have been better. A fairly predictable story. No big surprises. The story Melanie’s character really of no consequence. The narration was good though!
