I really loved the way this book was written. Mia March did an amazing job creating and developing her characters into people that you relate and become attached to. Each of the characters bring something different to the story which also brings a few surprises that you might not have been expecting. I am really interested in reading more from Mia March. If you like well written meaningful novels that touch your heart you will enjoy this book! ( )

I enjoyed the plot. I could relate with one character in particular, and appreciated that Ms. March devoted chapters to the varied POVs specifically, so that it was easier to identify which character's story I was following: although sometimes a specific character's dialogue was not identified, which took me out of the story a few times. It was also unfortunate that the men seemed to be "on the shelf" and waited politely for their cues. I enjoyed how she related each main character's story to events occurring within the Meryl Streep movies, although I predicted Ms. Streep might make an appearance on holiday. (You'll have to read to know if I was right!) With so many editors in the acknowledgements, I don't understand how the story was left void so often--as when June was toiling with writing a letter in one scene, and then it wasn't mentioned again until weeks later, and the letter had been magically sent. There were a few instances of this, and I found it a bit irritating. All-in-all, I enjoyed the story and would recommend it, but consider it a light read and suggest readers be willing to forgive minor flaws. ( )

I grabbed this book on the way to the airport thinking of the book I enjoyed, THE JANE AUSTIN BOOK CLUB… not the same author but well done and a great vacation read! So happy I got it and will look for more by Mia March, also have a few Meryl Streep movies to catch up on. ( )

I was immediately hooked by the premise of this book--that movie nights for the current month at Lolly Weller's bed and breakfast are incorporating Meryl Streep movies. I found I had forgotten some titles she has starred in and definitely remembered some old favorites. As Lolly's daughter Kat and her cousins Isabel and June (sisters raised by Lolly at the inn) come home to Boothbay Harbor at Lolly's request, it seems a lot of baggage arrives with them. Although the symbolism was a bit heavy at times, I enjoyed each young woman's discoveries about their lives via Meryl Streep and each other. ( )
