slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

Blue Moon Bay by Lisa Wingate 384/380 pages
Moses Lake #2
Genre: Christian Fiction, Christian Romance, Inspirational, Contemporary Romance, Women's Fiction
Featuring: Texas, Seattle, Workaholics, Family Secrets, Family Dynamics, Death off camera, Cancer, Mennonites, WWII Stories
Rating as a movie: PG-13 for adult situations
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
My thoughts: Pg 58 out 380 - Nice but slow.
Pg 63 - I'm starting to lose interest in this story.
Pg 97 - While Andrea and Mart showed up in a quote the pastor and Birdie showed up in the flesh, I'm still missing information.
Pg 135 Just in time [to watch The Amazing Race which was scheduled but never showed because of a Spurs game 😡]
Pg 176 - So busy I didn’t even log my pages yesterday. This was the point I knew I would have to finish this book.
It's going to be awhile before I read Firefly Island. This book was a bit too slow. There is a huge risk when a series switches characters and the the new ones aren't as likeable and it takes forever to get to know them. It was considering quitting this book atchapter 9 and very interested by the end of chapter 10. It took that many chapters to really get this book on a roll. There was was momentum in the first few chapters but it died in Moses Lake. The last few chapters had a lot going on so much it was hard to follow the action. I see a pattern with this series, unfortunately the romance was dead in the water in my opinion.
Recommend to others?: Maybe. I had to give the book 4 stars but it was almost a DNF.
