My thoughts

Despite the relationship twists and indecisiveness of the main character this book was a very nice read.
I found it difficult to put down, going back continuously because of my own morbid curiosity.
What stupid mistake was going to be made next, Though the author liked to use a lot of clichés that I found myself rolling my eyes at the story was cute and sweet.
I like the way the author made her decisions such a convoluted mess, She made her struggles more realistic in my opinion, Truly important life decisions are never easy and rarely cut and dry,

Character wise, I really had a hard time with Nash, I didnt like him at all, He was portrayed as a great doctor a true prince charming in many ways, but his attitude towards the towns people in general was a real turn off.
His constant need to force a city life style and rules on a small town just made him a snob.


The writing style and story line while a bit corny at times was great.
I really enjoyed the read, finishing the book in less than a day, I will definitely buy more of her work in the future, Looking forward to reading Whiskey and Gumdrops next, since the author has already hinted at a side to her protagonist Mandy that most were blind to.
There has to be some good qualities to her, Oz spent eight years in a relationship with her.
The excerpt and the end of this books gives me high hopes for this story as well.

This book was good, It was quirky, had small town humor, I found Beth to be whiny and wishy washy, It was a good clean read,
Beth and her finance take a "break" not her idea, Oz starts to have a midlife crisis of sorts, He tells Beth he just isn't ready, He strings her along for months just saying he needs more time, Beth just keeps hanging on, Enter a new Dr. at

the hospital she works at, He is handsome and an all around good guy, They end up falling in love or so Beth thinks, She ends up engaged to Nash after Oz finally says he doesn't want her anymore, Then comes the twist.
Giveaway winner

I won this book in a goodreads giveaway, I was really impressed with this book, The writing was funny and very well written, The plot was interesting and kept you guessing, I really enjoyed it and couldn't put it down, I can't wait to read the next blueberry springs novel Cover/Title: Now that I read the book, I understand the title.
I wouldn't compare them quite like that but,

Characters: The characters were ok, I am not a fan of Beth, I prefer the heroine to be stronger, more decisive and with a take no crap kinda attitude.
I am also not a fan of Oz, He is a real jerk in this book,

Plot: Beth is pushed away by her fiance and she has to learn to move on.
However, every time she moves on, he does something stupid that makes life difficult for her.


Overall: It was an ok story and definitely worth the read, Was I a huge fan of some of the characters No, It is a perfectly good book for that cold day when you want to snuggle up with a light read.
Beth and Oz have it all when it comes to love, or so those of the small town of Blueberry Springs think.
Soon after their engagement, Oz realizes that in order to have a future, he must understand who he is.
. . and he isn't whom everyone thinks he is,

Beth is a simple, lovely girl who has the gumption she needs to forge a path to the life she wants.
For years this life has included Oz, When he abruptly asks for time to find himself, Beth's life goes on hold, Her career as a care provider for the elderly, including her brash and outspoken Gran, brings her into the orbit of Nash, a doctor who is doing a short stint in her small town.


While Oz appears to spin further and further out of control, and beyond Beth's reach, she's left confused, and looking for the future she's wanted for so long.
As her friendship with Nash grows, Beth begins to realize she must reinvent herself as well.


In the end, the lives of everyone in Blueberry Springs change as the convoluted lives of Beth, Oz, Nash, Katie, Cynthia and Mandy unfold.
Ms. Oram does a splendid job in creating entertaining bumps along the paths of their lives, making us think we've figured out how the book will unfold, only to be bounced onto a new path, and find that love and life are not as straightforward as it ought to be.
This book was just okay, A bit predictable and drawn out, The ending was sort of abrupt and I feel like I needed more groveling from the man she chose.
There was an aspect of the story had I feel needed more of an explanation but was instead just kind of glossed over.

The writing was okay but the whole premise of the story just gave me whiplash.
Didn't finish this one, talk of sex outside of marriage within the firstof book, didn't want to continue reading.
Woohooo Jean Oram has written a fantastic book, . I was hooked after a few pages, . I loved it!! The characters were awesome and I felt as if I was there with them.
. I could really relate to them, . . have to admit the story as it opened out kept me wanting more, hunky guys what more could this girl ask for in a book apart from a happy ending !!!.
. . I Laughed out loud at many moments, . then others rocked my heart, . This wonderful author is now in my Favourite list, . I recommend this bookChampagne and Lemon Drops, who can resist a title like that Not me! I've had this book for a long, long time though and I finally got to it and I'm so glad.


It was just a really cute story about about Beth who was raised by her older sister, and her dream/goal in life is to have a really large family so she won't have to ever be alone.
The book starts off with a quick and lame excuse of a breakup, when Beth's fiance Oz calls off their wedding.
She is understandably devastated, but decides to scheme ways to get him to be attracted to her again so she can get him back.


Things are going along well in her plans/her mind when she meets Nash, a very good looking and charming doctor.
Thus begins a triangle. She falls for Nash but she loves Oz, so what's a girl to do As one can imagine, this story had me in stitches at times because it's full of humor.


This book is a quick, fun read, that includes both humor a heartstrings being pulled.
I loved it. One woman. Two men. One meddling small town.

Raised by her older sister in the small town of Blueberry Springs, all Beth Wilkinson wants is to create a family so big shell never be alone.
Things are going great until her fiancé, Oz, rethinks everything from his own career to their nuptial plansforcing Beth to do the same.


As Beth works to rediscover herself in hopes of reattracting Oz, she catches the eye of the charming new city doctor, Nash.
Not only does he see her as shed like to be seen, but he knows exactly what he wants from lifeand that includes Beth.


Torn between the two men, as well as two versions of herself, Beth discovers that love and dreams are much more complicated than they seem.
Before the review, I must say I know the author from an online group, She posted it was free for Kindles and so I grabbed it,

Beth is taken aback when her fiance wants a break from their relationship, but she goes along with it.
The break turns into weeks, then months,

Another man comes along, She likes him and he likes her so after some serious courting, they get engaged, Logical, huh

But her old fiance is still in love with her, And Beth Maybe Beth's still a little in love with him, too,

I don't know that I'd call the story chick lit it's more of a contemporary romance set in a small town, telling what can happen when people don't communicate.
Anyone who enjoys a frothy romance will enjoy it,

Nice read.


.I really enjoyed this book it was a fun read one of those books that you can laugh a little at feel for the characters and smile when its over.
The story revolves around Oz, Beth and Nash and Oz decides he needs to find himself but by doing that he pushes Beth away and into the arms of Nash.
The emotions from each character was written great especially Beth as she had to deal with what she felt for both men.
Oz did get on my nerves a bit I just wanted to yell at him to sort himself out it was him who wanted to have the break and find himself but it was Beth who found herself.
What I did love about this book is the small town folk they all knew that Beth and Oz belonged together and did everything they could to make them see sense even if Beth couldnt see that at first.
I did like Nash he was there for Beth when she needed a friend but you could tell they werent right for each other he was a city boy.
If you like your fun reads with a bit of romance and true love wins out then this is the book for you.
Finding yourself can be more difficult and messy than most of people think,
Trying to discover what he really want for live, Oz ask a break in his relationship with Beth.

Utterly surprised Beth is post in check, Is her truly sure of who she is and what her dreams are
The premise was interesting, but Beth was a to undecided girl, way to much.
Her attraction for Nash mixed with her hurt feelings was a combination fated to go wrong.
And Oz was to much a 'I need to figure this out all by my on' kind of guy.

I lost interest in who will stay with who in the middle of the book.
