![]() ![]() ![]() I will admit I was initially more engaged in Haley’s story than Cora’s – until I started to see the linkages between the two. Sometimes I wonder if the two stories are even linked, or if it’s simply two novellas with the same setting combined to make a “proper novel.” That certainly wasn’t the case with The Wedding Shop. In paper novels, I’ve been guilty of reading one timeline through to the end, then wondering if I even want to go back and read the other. I often find one story in a dual timeline novel draws me in more than the other. ![]() I thought these commonalities and the clever (and careful) way in which they were gradually revealed was one of the major strengths of the story. While the two women initially appear completely different, over time we find they have a lot in common. In the present, there is Haley, ex-Air Force cap tain who has returned to her hometown of Heart’s Bend, Tennessee, to fulfil her childhood dream of reopening Miss Cora’s once-famous wedding shop. The Wedding Shop is a dual timeline story. ![]()
