Prompt: WINE

Did you know it takes eight hundred grapes to make one bottle of wine?

An easy, enjoyable read.  I liked the information about vineyards because we have a grape arbor, but nothing that would turn our grapes into wine.  :)

Will appeal to women's fiction fans.  The writing was breezy and fun, but the plot was a bit predictable.

5/5🌟 Full of emotion, secrets, and knowledge about making wine; which is a nice bonus if you love visiting vinyards. This reminded me of a good family drama movie where everyone gets together and there is laughing, crying, life lessons, secrets, and dysfunction set in cozy California wine country. I really enjoyed the sentimental value & nostalgia of childhood and family tradition.🍇🍷

This started really slow for me and while I live a messy family, one that just doesn‘t talk to each other makes me nuts. This was mostly so-so for me, but she did keep me reading and I did enjoy how things ended. I definitely preferred The Last Thing He Told Me. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Faced with a family full of issues she wasn‘t aware of, Georgia wants to try to fix everything and everyone, but she must fix herself first. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️?#️⃣3️⃣3️⃣

My book club read this 5 years ago. We rented a mini van and signed up my dh to be dd so we could drink wine and have lunch. We went out of town to a restaurant called Grapes. Each item on the menu has a white or red wine pairing from a local vineyard. We may not have loved the book but we had a blast on our field trip.
