THE PEACH KEEPER by Sarah Addison Allen Despite going to the same high school Willa Jackson, Colin and Paxton Osgood, and Sebastian weren’t exactly friends. Now in their 30s, they’ll have to reconcile their past pettiness and their relationships with themselves and each other. It’s giving… The Breakfast Club if it was a Hallmark romance movie. While there were quirky and fun magical realism elements I’ve come to expect from Sarah Addison Allen’s books, this particular story just didn’t do it for me. The plot felt very choppy. The flashback with their grandmothers toward the end seemed out of place and anticlimactic. Overall, it was just okay. Less of a mystery and more of the average, cliched, feel-good fluffy novel. Rating: 3/5 ⭐️

Such a good story!

I have come to love Sarah Addison Allen's books and this was no different. The subtle magic, the call backs to other books, a relatable storyline. It was such a good book I was sad to see it end.

Magical Southern Story

Think Fried Green Tomatoes with an essence of magic. I read this book in a day, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Give this book a try, you won’t regret it.

Another Sarah Addison page turner.

I can’t get enough of Sarah’s books. They hold your interest until the last word...then you want more.
