Catching Air: A Novel

Pretty good read
I thought by the end it seemed a bit light from the way it started. To me it seemed to end too quickly. Overall a decent read.

Amusing, but not what I was hoping for
Catching Air was described as a story about two couples who open a bed and breakfast in Vermont, but it was more about their inability to reproduce then the stresses of the new business venture. After reading and really liking the author's The Best Of Us, I expected the same strong characters and realistic dialog to showcase the issues of normal people. Although present, those writing traits were overshadowed by the personal problems of these two unhappy couples, which were a bit depressing.I wouldn't have read this had the description been, well, honest. I wasn't interested in reading a book where the main characters struggle to conceive and then stress over whether or not they would be good parents. I wanted there to be more issues with running the hotel, but those were few and far between. Dawn, the accidental thief who hid out at the bed and breakfast was a weird character with an equally odd background. Although her arrival and attempt to escape the police was intended to heighten the suspense, it didn't. I was further disappointed when the big arch in the plot was obvious from the beginning.This was amusing, but not what I was hoping for.

Take this to the beach.
Interesting story line; not that well written. Two brothers and their wives open a B & B in the North, and a young woman who was running from a scary boyfriend played a part. The story seemed to jump around a bit but that may just that i wasn't focused enough. None of the characters seemed real and yet I could tell that the author tried to make them so. The descriptions of the B & B were pleasant and well done. It would make a good beach book for this summer.

Great follow up to the Best of Us
Two couples move to Vermont to open a bed and breakfast. The two brothers and sisters-in-laws learn much about each other as they take on the venture. A stranger, Dawn, shows up at the B&B with secrets of her own and that unravel as the novel moves forward. A great story about how love, relationships, and the memories of our childhood shape our lives every day. I must say that the food served at the B&B in this novel gave me a constant urge to eat, because everything Kira served up sounded delicious. Great novel to follow The Best of Us.

What a refreshing story !!!
This novel grabbed me from the beginning. The characters are all so interesting to see how they all come to blend, although from different walks of life. It was like watching lives unfold before your eyes. How changes sometime are for the best and also how people can be there for you when you need them. I just want to go to that B&B and stay there , meet all of them and sit and have a cup of tea while it snows out !!!Will most definitely read this author again , wish she'd write more and more about all these people so we can follow up on their lives Remember they say be careful what you wish for, you may get it !!!!Don't pass this one up you'll be sorry, grab it !!!.

Sarah Pekkanen Hits it Out of the Park Again!
My favorite thing about Sarah's books is the way they sweep you away into another world. Who hasn't thought about chucking it all and opening up a B&B in a beautiful place like Vermont? There are always such lush and lovely sensory details in her books, too. People cook and eat marvelous food. They wear beautiful clothes. They move to gorgeous locations.Take this idyllic setting and add in a bunch of new and old family drama, an unexpected surprise in a marriage that suddenly seems to be tottering on wobbly legs, a stranger with a secret past, a Bridezilla whose wedding can make or break the new business -- all these elements come together into a wonderful read that wraps up in a moving and satisfying way. Tuck it into your beachbag this summer.

Fun, Easy Read.
This one was an easy read that I found quite enjoyable. I liked the idea of the B&B and the gal who was a good cook and reading about her interesting and delicious sounding recipes and foods that she served. A stranger comes into the mix also and creates another diversion. It was fun! Held my interest and read it in three days! A fun summer read...

Boring boring and more boring
The book is a drag. The plot is weak with characters that are poorly developed all over the place. Honestly, itโs depressing too. Iโd much rather pick up a Nancy Drew than read this attempt. This author used to be so incredible. Maybe sheโs better when she writes with the other lady. This is best compared to one of those numbers the teachers gave you in third grade to ruin your summer by making you read something boring and sad.

Entertaining
Well written and well crafted. Thought had been given in putting the plot together with characters that were properly fleshed out. I really enjoyed it.

It was an interesting storyline and I liked the characters overall
Kira and her husband, Peter, decide to do something new and partner with Peter's brother, Rand and his wife, Alyssa, to start up a B&B in Vermont. Kira and Peter are in the midst of trying to decide whether or not to start a family while beginning this new adventure. Rand and Alyssa, the two free spirits, are also facing a world of change with an adoption they are trying to finalize.Dawn, a woman on the run from her past also plays a part in this story as she is taken in by the group at the B&B.It was an interesting storyline and I liked the characters overall.

Product was indicated as new but does not appear new. There is more wear to the book cover than I would anticipate if what I received was truly a new book.
