The Secrets of Peaches: A Bittersweet Story of Friendship, Summer Magic, and New Beginnings

I am a sucker for friendship stories. I'll admit it.The whole peaches series is probably one of my favorite series. This review is for all three books in the series.I love all three main characters, I love the setting, I love the side characters, I love their problems, and I love how all of those things just wrap up in a story together.Birdie is the glue who holds everyone together, and Lena & Murphy are these two chaotic forces with problems neither of them really know how to fix.I really liked how flawed each character is, and how they each hole themselves up inside themselves, but somehow when they're together they see beneath that.The settings are amazing, suited to each girl's personality, yet they all come together at the orchard.The side characters don't seem like minor characters because they each are full of personality.Romance in this is not a major event, nor is it minor, which I liked because it shows that the girls do care about having a relationships, but their relationship is not the only subject of their life.Finally I love how each girl grows, and how they each start to gain little tidbits of each others personality, whether that is good or bad.All in all this series will fill you with such good, and sweet feelings.I wouldn't say it is a deep read, nor would I say it was light as the girls do have problems.I would say it is the perfect book series to read for a car ride, because it gives you a really good feeling at the end because not everything goes perfectly, not everything wraps up neatly, yet just enough good things happen that you are satisfied.The only reason I gave it four stars is because it could have had more depth, I think deep reads are my favorite, as they make me think more. But I think it would've compromised some of the happy, sweet, light feeling during this book, and that is one of the reasons I liked it so much.

I liked the story.

Great writer. Not the same ole man meets women, they don't like each other, then fall to love. Nice to read a story about things non relationship related. Nice book.

Cute series

I love the characters in this series! Looking forward to learning what is in store next for Birdie, Leeda and Murphy!

An Amazing Book I would rate it ten stars of i could

Very worn

SO MANY FEELINGS I JUST LOVED IT SO MUCH MY THIRD BOOK NEEDS TO COME IN THE MAIL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

I read the previous book when I was young and I found it entertaining but fir some reason I found this book tedious. Maybe it’s because I’m 25 now? Murphy just seemed insufferable and her problems were all just teenagey “I’m so different and weird! I’m unique” angst and I just couldn’t get into it. Which is strange as I still love teen fiction. It also felt like nothing much happened? I’m not sure.You may enjoy it more than I did but I found it boring and hard to finish and a bit silly at times
