Loading... Comfort & Joy: A Novelby Kristin Hannah
None.  bubblebathbooks | May 15, 2013 |  ereader ebook  romsfuulynn | Apr 28, 2013 | This was a cute story, but not typical Kristin Hannah. It was a light, happy ending read; perfect for Christmas when things are so hectic. As the story starts, Joy, a high school librarian, is recently divorced from her husband, Thom. The marriage fell apart when Joy comes home early and finds her husband in bed with another woman.....her younger sister, Stacy! As Joy is coping with this during the holiday season, the final blow comes when Stacy hands Joy an invitation to her wedding with Thom. And announces she is pregnant with his child. This is more that Joy can handle, and she runs away.....or flies away.....to a place called Hope in the northwest. Before she gets there, she is involved in a horrific plane crash. What happens next is a mystery.....is it a dream?.....is it real?.....it is magic? Whatever, Joy escapes to the Comfort lodge and meets a young boy and his father who are also coping with a loss. This is a 'no spoiler zone' so I will just say, it is a short read and you really need to read it all the way through before you give up on it. There is a major twist to the story at the time of part 2. If you want a light read with a happy ending, this is the book for you. (  ) Time2Read2 | Mar 31, 2013 | Joy is newly divorced and has a heavy heart regarding the circumstances. She decides she needs to get away and start over. Joy's travel plans take a dive. She finds herself in a plane crash and then discovers her life. Hokey, hokey, hokey. This was so not a book for me. Why did I continue? It was an audiobook, and I was on the road - only reason. Often I found myself dizzy, due to the continual eye-rolling. Ugh. I was warned and didn't take the warning seriously enough. My bad.

Bubby: Sometimes I read a book that just hits me right in the heart and it becomes an instant favorite - one I go back to and re-read often and one that I recommend often. This is one of those books for me. I just love love love it. It’s a magical story and it ends good and it just makes me happy.
Sissy: I re-read this at Bubby’s behest because I couldn’t remember if I had read it or not. As you can tell by the word “reread,” turns out I had read it and liked it some time ago. The writing by Kristin Hannah is excellent, and this is underscored by the major plot twist that comes up mid-book of which I shall say nothing further. Lovely, lovely love story, emotional tale of sadness and joy. As the garage door repairman said today after telling me about how this week so far his truck has broken down, he broke his finger, and his tools all got stolen “without the bad things we wouldn’t appreciate the good things.” 4 out of 5 Bubbles.
