The Peach Keeper A Novel Sarah Addison Allen 9780553807226 Books

This book came recommended by a friend. I thought there would be some sort of mystery, but I had figured the big "mystery" out pretty quickly. It's basically a romance book somewhat clouded by some loose references to spirits and weird birds who show up now and then. From reading recommendations, I thought there was some sort of "magic" in it, but the references to such things made absolutely no sense to me. It just got very boring and tedious about half way and I got rather sick of the one main character, Paxton, wondering if the man she loved was gay or not. Both female main characters were around 30 and they both seemed like nitwits. I just don't remember being that empty-headed at their age. It was on okay read, but didn't have much depth in the characters. I only finished it because I kept thinking it has to get better, but it really didn't.

The Peach Keeper A Novel Sarah Addison Allen 9780553807226 Books Reviews

So this is the 4th book I've read by Sarah Addison Allen. Here's where I place it in my rankings

1. Garden Spells (her first and best)
2. The Peach Keeper (very enjoyable)
3. First Frost (good but not amazing sequel to Garden Spells)
4. The Sugar Queen (pretty good, not memorable)

All of Allen's books take place in the mountains of North Carolina, which makes for an enchanting setting. She does infuse her native Asheville magic into these stories.

The Peach Keeper doesn't have strong fantasy aspects the way her other books do, but there's still some pixie dust sprinkled in here and there, as well as a cameo appearance from Claire Waverley who caters a party.

Recommended if you're a fan of this author or just want a light, sweet read.
What can I say, I am a big Sarah Addison Allen fan. I first ready Garden Spells when I was in my early 20's and it sparked a newly found love of reading. I was so good about reading and then somehow, I fell off the wagon so to speak. I looked up what other books Sarah had out and just had to get them. I must say, this might be my 2nd favorite of hers. I love that Mrs. Claire Waverly makes a "cameo" in here as well, it really made me smile from the heart. This is definitely an easy read but I just loved the little twists, the friendship that blossoms and the love story. It was a good message and reminder to just be you and everyone changes, sometimes not in the best way, but we grow from it. This will definitely be a keeper for those nights when I want a quick semi-romantic read. Very much recommended!
How does one leave a 4 or 5 star review without sounding like all of the other 4 and 5 star reviews?

I mean … yeah … this was a really good book. It was a captivating story with a little mystery, love, romance, friendship, magic and even a little frustration.

And even though it is a little similar to all of Sarah’s other books, this one was very different. I truly loved the plot of sparking a new friendship, denying one self their true desires, discovering a hearts true desire and the dirty little secret that required some detective work to uncover.

The setting was delicious where two different worlds wove together and out of that weaving, a new garment was created that bonded relationships together for life.

There was a tickling, little surprise where a character from another book made an appearance and all I could do was smile because it surprised me and delighted me. Of course this character would be here! Who else could show up at this event better than her? (I’ll leave that delicious, little, surprise to the reader.)

Do yourself a favor, and set aside any ideas about the way you think things should be … whether it’s realistically accurate or socially acceptable to behave a certain way or believe a certain way. None of Sarah’s books allow a reader to dwell in reality. She rather opens up the door for the reader to create a new inner world where the reader is whisked away to another place and time, only to lose themselves in a fantasy that can quite possibly be reality … if we want it to believe in such a world.

I’m saving this remark till the end of my review for it is the reason I left off a star.
As the book began coming to a close … the chapters were wrapping up and all of the loose pieces were being tied up, I found myself a little disappointed. Perhaps Sarah wrapped up this book a little too quickly. It was almost like she was running out of room so she threw everything together in order to end the story and for me, I felt a little cheated. It was almost like Sarah lost interest in writing the story so this was the quickest way to wrap things up because she was done with it. It felt rushed.

And yet, as I sit here staring at the book as it lays in front of me … speaking to me as I write this review … it beckons the invitation to be shared with all those who want to believe in the good things in life and the things that invite us to dream and invite the magic of precious moments and stories to color our world.
And since I have read all of Sarah’s books, I will bid this one “Good-bye” and wait as patiently as I know how, for the next one. I am hooked on this author. ♥
