Do you have a favorite shop to get new clothing?

Cora Scott has inherited her aunt’s wedding shop in the 1930s Tennessee.  She loves a mysterious river boat captain, Rufus, but she has been waiting years for him to marry her.  Meanwhile her friend Birch helps her and tries to persuade her to marry him.  All the world goes through major changes in the 1930s. Will Cora find her happy ending?

Eighty years later, Haley Morgan has returned home after serving as an Air Force Captain.  She wants to rebuild the wedding shop as she and her late friend Tammy dreamed of doing while they were kids.  Tammy’s fiancé, contractor Cole Danner, helps Halley with the project.

My thoughts on this audiobook:

·       This was the June pick for the Kewaunee Library Page Turners Book Club.  It seemed liked the club all enjoyed it back in June and we had a good discussion.

·       This novel was part 3 of The Wedding Collection series.  I read it as a standalone and it worked for me.

·       This novel is an inspectional Christian fiction and clean read.

·       The loved the details of the shop and the shopping experiences of the bride.  It was a good read for June.

·       There was a “magical” wedding dress and people kept giving Haley money to help her build her shop.  It was hard to believe. 

·       I liked how the two storylines come together at the end and how they connected throughout the novel.

Overall, The Wedding Shop by Rachel Hauck was an engaging story and audiobook.
