Book Review: Misty Mornings at The Potting Shed by Jenny Kane
⭐⭐⭐ out of 5 stars
First off, let me start by saying how much I adore the cover of Misty Mornings at The Potting Shed. It's sweet and inviting, just like the story inside. Now, onto my review...
Misty Mornings at The Potting Shed is the latest installment in Jenny Kane's heartwarming series, taking us back to the family-run garden center owned by Maddie and Sabi. Business is thriving, and the duo decides to give back to their community by opening the Forget-Me-Not dementia café. However, as they embark on this new venture, challenges arise that test their ability to juggle personal and professional responsibilities.
Sabi, one of the main characters, is faced with a tempting opportunity that could potentially take her away from The Potting Shed for weeks. Meanwhile, Jo, the café manager, finds herself dealing with her frail and elderly mother falling ill. To make matters worse, Maddie's partner, Ed, lands a job in a distant city just when Maddie needs him the most. With the autumn season approaching rapidly, a new staff member is urgently needed to support Sara, Jo, and Ivan in keeping the garden center running smoothly.
I must admit that I feel I would have enjoyed this book even more had I read the previous books in the series first. Although Misty Mornings at The Potting Shed can be read as a standalone novel, there were moments when I felt like I was missing out on some backstory and character development. Nevertheless, Jenny Kane's writing style is engaging and well-paced, making it easy to become immersed in the story.
The setting of The Potting Shed exudes coziness and charm, almost like receiving a warm hug. It's a place where you can easily imagine yourself spending hours amidst beautiful plants and friendly faces. I particularly enjoyed the author's decision to include multiple points of view throughout the book. It allowed me to connect with different characters and understand their perspectives.
Speaking of characters, the majority of them were likable and well-drawn. Maddie and Sabi felt relatable with their determination to make their garden center succeed. Jo's dedication to her mother added depth to her character. However, there was one character, Tristan, who I found difficult to warm up to.
While Misty Mornings at The Potting Shed had its merits, I did find it a bit slow-paced and light on plot. The story primarily revolves around the day-to-day operations of The Potting Shed and the personal challenges faced by the characters. While this can be comforting for some readers, I personally prefer a bit more excitement and unexpected twists in my books.
In conclusion, Misty Mornings at The Potting Shed is a well-written and cozy read that will appeal to fans of the series. Although it may be enjoyed as a standalone novel, I recommend starting from the beginning to fully appreciate the characters and their journeys. While I found it a little slow and light on plot for my taste, there is no denying the warmth and charm that emanates from this story.
