Review: On Moonberry Lake by:H Varni

 

About the Book:

Cora Matthews has long wondered why her mother stopped taking her to visit her grandparents' lodge in the small Northwoods Minnesota town of Moonberry Lake. Now, after burying her mother and breaking off her engagement just two weeks before her wedding, Cora has a chance to find out. Once there, she is stunned to learn that the old lodge is her inheritance--with a surprising condition attached. Maybe some time to regroup on the shores of a beautiful lake is just what Cora needs to figure out what's next for her.

But Cora's days on the lake are anything but relaxing. The only thing that's a bigger mess than her own life is the dilapidated building she's living in. Add a cantankerous handywoman, an angry neighbor, and an elderly woman who spends all her time talking to the "residents" in the cemetery and Cora's not sure she can stick it out. But if she can, she may find a love she never expected--from the most unexpected people imaginable. This homespun tale of new friendships, sweet romance, and ordinary miracles will have you wishing you could spend a summer (or a lifetime) on Moonberry Lake.

My Review:

 This was definitely a change of pace for me. I loved all the characters and the plot line seemed genuine as well as evenly paced. Each character seemed fully developed and strong. The main character Cora is so caught up with her life and everything that is happening in such a small amount of time. She seemed very overwhelmed with the thought of renovating an old lodge that was left for her after her mothers death.

 There is a several connotations to religions or beliefs other than Christianity based ideals. It doesn't take away from the story, in my opinion but it definitely doesn't add to it. That was disappointing but overall a good read. 

**Disclosure**This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
