Why read it?
1 author picked The Bitter and Sweet of Cherry Season as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love that this story is set around cherry harvest. The description and storytelling were done in broad strokes of imagery. This story stayed with me because of the grief and longing one of the main character struggles with. Seeing through the perspective of the little girl was entertaining. All the characters had extraordinary personalities. I loved this book because it was a universal truth. Life is a hill with boulders of various sizes, set on fire, headed straight for you. Staying put is only going to get you knocked the F@#! Out.
From R.E.S.'s list on romance that stays with you long after.
