About this listen

In this star-crossed short story from New York Times bestselling author Alice Hoffman, timing is everything as two sisters learn to let love follow its own path.

Isabel, the long-lost Gibson sister, is finally back home on Brinkley’s Island, Maine. With Sophie and Violet, her sister and her niece, she’s got the family bookstore—and with Johnny Lenox, she’s got something even more special.

But even as life settles, not everything is falling into place. Isabel and Johnny have set the date three times, baked three wedding cakes, invited the whole island to three parties, only to have each attempt at matrimony fall apart at the last minute. Disasters seem to be conspiring against their happy ending, and Isabel is starting to wonder if their love is meant to be.

When family history comes back to haunt the Gibson sisters, Isabel knows that if she wants to make it down the aisle with Johnny, first she and Sophie will have to face the pain of their past and their present, and decide what it means for their future.

Forgiving

Short but imaginative love story of loss, anger and grief. Very enjoyable and relaxing about family and community.

Overly sentimental

Overly sentimental, too many recipes. Not up to Hoffman’s standard. Repetitive and schmaltzy. Too simplistic for Hoffman.

The pain of loving

A story that challenges emotions, but like any tale of true love: love wins! I really enjoyed how, despite being a romantic love story about a couple’s relationship, the focus is on sisterly love, and there’s nothing greater than the love between sisters! I experience it every day. Book Store Wedding is the story of Isabel and Sophia, two sisters who have endured a lot during and after their mother’s illness and passing, which left a deep pain in their lives. So much so that Isabel fled to New York. Upon her return, she faces her sister’s current illness, the new love that blossomed between Sophia and the doctor, her own wedding to the love of her life, and many other emotional experiences. Just like this Book Store Wedding audiobook.

Sweet

Initially it was frustrating reading about Isabelle’s indecisiveness with when to get married. But I was glad that it all worked out in the end.
I am most happy that she mended all the relationships that had been damaged due to her past decisions. Also that she found her happy ending

Very sweet story.

Predictable love story. A surprise twist with the wedding. Short, easy listening family theme.
