In this sequel to Kiss Me Hard Before You Go, Evie Barnes is living
day-to-day, trying to keep her father's land and his cattle business afloat.
She is adjusting to his absence and to living with Finch and the rest of the
carnies, which is creating quite a stir amongst the locals in Haines.
As Finch and the others learn a new way of life that doesn't involve the
carnival, they're dealing with prejudice from almost everyone in town. A string
of suspicious incidents occur, prompting all fingers to point the blame at
them.
Just when Evie and Finch learn to deal with the mountain of obstacles facing
them, the unexpected happens, causing them to question if their relationship
can survive it all.
My take...
She was a supernova. The stars. The moon and the sky. She was magnificent.

Ever since I finished KISS ME HARD BEFORE YOU GO , I had been wondering
about those beloved characters I came to love. What came of them all? Did Evie
and Finch find their happily ever after? Did a small town like Haines end up
welcoming their newest additions with open arms? Or has life been a constant
struggle ever since we last saw them?
We find all of that and so much more in LIKE ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL. We see
some sides of our favorite characters we wasn't sure existed. Maybe because I
held them up on a higher pedestal than I honestly should have. It wasn't a bad
side, just understandable at the time and with the circumstances that were
handed to them. But I truly loved it and the characters even more now. We got
to know them even more and that just threaded them deeper into my heart.
LIKE ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL was such a beautiful story full of that fun,
first love (but real love) romance and wonder. McCrimmon pens a book so
wonderfully done you feel a part of it all somehow. She also captures the time
period remarkably, so it shows she did her research. She really did an amazing
job bringing this story to life and I am happy to have read it, because I
enjoyed it oh so much. 5 You May Need The Tissues Stars! (Because I sure did!)
Thank you for the review, Mandy! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
