Title: The Possibilities
Author: Kaui Hart Hemmings
Rating: 2 out of 5 stars
Summary: Sarah St. John is dealing with the sudden death of her son. Nobody--not her dad, best friend or her son's dad can help her with her grief. When a woman appears to link to her son, she has the potential to change Sarah's life forever.
Review: I could have sworn that I wrote this review ages ago but apparently I didn't. I happened to read this in the midst of other books about children dying. It wasn't as sad as I thought it was going to be. Again, the story was fine, just nothing earth shattering. Perhaps I'm getting overly critical? Somebody wow me!

Book review: First Frost
Title: First Frost
Author: Sarah Addison Allen
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Summary: October is always a strange time of year for the Waverly women. It has to do with their strange apple tree that blooms with the first frost. But this October in particular feels particularly strange. The Waverly women are notorious in their town in North Carolina for possessing special gifts. This October is a particularly difficult one for sisters Sydney and Claire, and Sydney's teenage daughter, Bay, all for different reasons. Will their families survive this year's first frost?
Review: This book was perfectly pleasant. And as I think of the next two reviews that I have to write about books that were much more intense than this, I sort of wish I had this as a palate cleanser between the two. While this book was perfectly pleasant, I wouldn't say it was fantastic, thus the reason for the three stars.
When I finish a book I try to put the shell of the review together and at the very least indicate my initial rating. I'm sticking with the three stars, although I'm tempted to go 3.5 to compromise between the me that first wrote three stars and the present me that's leaning towards four. But I'm going to stick with my three stars. If you're looking for something light, or a palate cleanser, this is a good choice.
