A Winter by the Sea

2.5 rounded up for the writing style and holiday/winter vibes.

This particular sister/suspense sub plot wasn't for me personally. I had a hard time connecting with this book and found it very boring but I absolutely loved the first one. I'm looking forward to the next book and looking forward to learning more about Claire.

This also gets more points because I always appreciate more feminist elements in my Christian fiction and I am happy about that. I hope in the next book we get even more pushback on how the mom in the series is handling this death bed promise + Claire in Scotland (so terrible!!).
