With most people, silence was a gap I felt obligated to fill. With Jasper, it was just the space between one thing and the next, easy to exist inside.

I looked down at my bowl. He had a way of stealing my thoughts right out of my head and leaving me standing in the empty space where they’d been.

…neither of us said anything for a while, and it was the best silence I had ever experienced.

I had not sat down one day and decided to be alone. It had just become the easier thing, and then the default thing, and then it was just my life.

My Review:

 

My adoration of Nora Everly’s insightfully written Honeybrook Hollow series continues to grow with each new installment.  I adored this endearing couple and wanted only good things for them.  They were both cautious with their words, yet their banter was crisp and clever.  The writing was engaging, perceptive from each perspective, easy to follow, and immersive.  

Papa was a rolling stone and seemed to have single-handedly populated half of the town.  The sisters are an interesting mix of personalities, and I am looking forward to getting to know each of them better.  They may have had different mothers, but their grandparents provided the magic and glue that made them a family, and I greatly relished that thoughtful detail.
