Tracy’s review of Love Letters from Ladybug Farm
Renovating a broken-down mansion in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley gave three lifelong friends a welcome second chance. But after taking the biggest risk of their lives, are these women also willing to risk their hearts?
All the effort Cici, Lindsay, and Bridget have put into transforming an historic but overgrown farm into an upscale winery and special events business is paying off-Ladybug Farm has been chosen to host a society wedding. What this really means is that they are about to be invaded by warring mothers-in-law, a Bridezilla, and a completely clueless groom. They have their hands full keeping Ladybug Farm from descending into total chaos.
But there’s something about a wedding…
After an article in a popular Virginian magazine Cici, Lindsay and Bridget’s farm has become quite the talk of the town. The blog that Bridget began has gotten more hits than ever and she’s actually getting orders for gift baskets – a lot of orders. On top of that their friend Paul has a friend of a friend of a friend who needs a location for a wedding…in 3 weeks.
The women decide to take on the wedding project because they really need the massive amount of money that the brides family is paying them, but they’re wholly unprepared for the many, many, many emails and phone calls that they constantly get from both the mother of the bride and the bride herself. They question themselves daily as to the wisdom of their decision.
Then there is real life that goes on whether they’re planning a wedding or not. Accidents, people dying, old loves coming back, friends having marital problems…it’s never ending chaos. But it also makes the women stop and think about what’s important in their lives.
This was a very sweet book that had a lot of mad cap things happening in it. It was kind of like Murphy’s law hitting everything in the women’s lives at once and though it was crazy they handled it quite well.
There was nothing wrong with the book, it just wasn’t my kind of story. I’m not a person who enjoys bad things happening to good people and though it was all remedied in the end, it put me on edge just reading about it and wondering what the heck was going to happen next and was it going to be as bad or worse than the thing before? As I said, the women handled it and it made them all the stronger for it but I had a hard time enjoying the book because of the difficulties they were facing.
