Back On Blossom Street by Debbie Macomber
I was thrilled to see Debbie Macomber return to Blossom Street. It was rewarding to see how the characters from her first two books had progressed, as well as being introduced to new women to cheer for.
The strengths of Macomber's writing are her sympathetic characters...Alix in particular is a compelling character, and I loved seeing her relationship with Jordan progress. The introduction of Colette kept the series moving forward without abandoning the previous group of women.
I have to say that my least favorite character is Lydia. Her life has become too complacent, and even the progression of her mother's illness didn't serve to pull me into her life. I was more interested in what was going on with her customers than with her!
While I've loved the Shop on Blossom Street stories, I think it may be time to leave this story behind and perhaps find a new knitting shop to explore.
