Just Okay
I liked this book however I found it to be a little slow. Usually I can read for hours but with this one I could easily put it down after a chapter or two. With that being said though I do think the plot was intriguing and I liked how it was told in many different characters recollections of the explosion. What I didn't like was how the end of the book basically tied it all up in a pretty bow. It almost seemed like the ending was written by someone else……someone who writes hallmark feel good stories.

The Flower Sisters book review
I am somewhat indifferent about this book. Certainly the explosion was a great starting point for the novel. The descriptions of both life in a small town and the impact of the explosion on the townspeople were well done. However, the pace is uneven and the ending horribly contrived.

I read the book, then put it down for a few days. When I went back and looked at the book what I remembered most was the contrived ending. Not good.

Too descriptive
Possum Flats is not a place where I would want to live nor read about. I was unable to have any connection with the characters. Left me feeling like I was peeking into lives that should have remained secret.
