My favorite of Sarah's is Garden Spells because of course it was the first one I read and the first one I fell in love with. Lost Lake now has become my favorite the magic in it is wonderful and it was unpredictable. I loved all the characters and wished the story didn't have to end. I read this in two days, which is a bit unusual for me cause it can take me a while. I just love, love, loved it!!!

I love reading Sarah Addison Allen's books. She has such a great story telling ability. I couldn't wait to finish the book, but didn't want it to end either! There are so many great quotes in this book - I may have to read it again right now! Thank you for again lifting my spirits and making me believe in magic again.

I love Allen's exploration of women characters, from a young girl, to a newly widowed woman, and a slew of older women. Who writes about old women? One is even mute. And a world with a soft magical realism? With whimsical little asides? Nice. It was a sweet little book that was a pretty quick read and I was happy while I read it.

A sweet story about a recently widowed woman, Kate, and her young daughter who seek out the summer place where Kate spent the happiest summer of her life. There are the usual quirky characters that a Sarah Addison Allen novel has with a bit of the mystical thrown in.
I love this book so much! I can't even quite put it all into words yet but I'll come back and give it a go. If you like Sarah Addison Allen definitely read this book. It is beautiful and heartfelt and a little sad at times.

Really enjoyed this one. There was less 'magic' than I am used to with Allen, but it was a wonderful read with characters I really liked.
