Customer Reviews

A great story with heart

This story continues the saga of Blossom Street. Once you have gotten to know the neighborhood, its hard not to find out what is happening to the dear friends. Told with empathy and humor plus more than a few twists and turns, this tale focuses on the short season of warm breezes and time spent outdoors. The author understands the intensions of women and the dramas we face in daily life. I can't wait to read the next in the series!

Sure makes you feel good about people

This is a sweet, delightful, feel good story. I really enjoyed it. And even though nobody was getting shot or killed, it truly was a page turner. I felt like I was a member of their little club and couldn't wait to hear the latest about each and every one of them. I read it with a constant smile on my face. I live in Seattle area and also enjoyed all the references to our beautiful city. The people here are awesome. This book is written as if it were a true story. And perhaps it might be--someone, somewhere who can identify with at least one of the characters. I agree that the "Twenty Wishes" is an excellent idea to do---as well as taking up knitting, going to Paris and, of course, dacing barefoot in the rain. Relax, enjoy and be ready to feel good when you read this delightful story.

Twenty Wishes

"Twenty Wishes" was a great book. It was a page turner that I couldn't, or wanted to, put down. It was filled with hope and love. Debbie Macomber has done it again. She's made me want to start my own list!

I LOVE Debbie Macomber's world!!!

Just finished reading this delightful book, and as with all her books found myself laughing and then crying throughout. Her characters (people) are so real that I feel that I'm there with them. Am so grateful we have this wonderful writer who shares these stories with us. Also, know it's a different book or series but I LOVE her angel books too! Just finished the latest one and it too was delightful! Thanks Debbie!!!

The best ever

I love Debbie Macomber and this is without any question her best book yet. You don't have to be a widow to understand this - just a woman who has wishes that she'd like to fulfill. This would make an excellent book for reading groups and I can't recommend it highly enough. I read it in 24 hours - I just couldn't put it down and I'm going to read it again. That's great praise coming from me who rarely reads a book more than once but this one is worth it. I've started my own list of 20 Wishes. It would make a great gift.
