"One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a wedding
Four for a boy
Five for silver
Six for gold
Seven for a secret that can't be told"
Back to this wonderful series!
As the third book in the Tales from Cook's Cove series, this one comes after One For Sorrow. However, you don't really have to necessarily read them in this particular order-- they don't really have a correlation with one another, other than being in the same town. I haven't even read Seven For a Secret yet!
In this book, the protagonist is a girl named Violet Blue. Her sister, Jenny, is getting married this summer, and most of her family is going to attend. Her family also includes her cousin, Grace-Mae. Grace-Mae is truly something else. When Violet Blue first meets her, she's sporting a fluffy white coat and five-inch heels. With her platinum hair, body-hugging outfits, and curves in all the right places, Grace-Mae is far different from any of the other local girls at Cook's Cove. Yet along with Grace-Mae comes a flurry of mystery. Midst the wedding preparations, final exams, mysterious occurrences, and this cousin, Grace-Mae, perhaps even Violet Blue may be able to find romance.
This book is a lot lighter than One for Sorrow in the fact that it revolves around family life and finding love, rather than trying to deal with family and being illiterate. It's a fluffier book,
Once again, I have to add that Mary C. Sheppard is an amazing author that really gets the reader sucked into the story. However, as she writes in a girl's perspective, this book (and especially this book) may appeal to teenage girls more than teenage guys, or even girls more than guys in general. Either way, it's a great book that I'm sure many many people would enjoy!
***I give this book a 9.5 out of 10***
