Hope Falls Homecoming: A Back to a Small Town Romantic Comedy
4.5/5 stars
"I just finished reading 'Hope Falls Homecoming' and I'm left with a huge smile on my face! This book is a delightful romantic comedy that made me feel like I was in a charming small town, surrounded by lovable characters.

The author did an excellent job of crafting an engaging story full of humor, love, and second chances. The characters are well-developed and easy to love (or hate, in the case of some!). The chemistry between the leads is palpable and had me rooting for them from the start.

What impressed me most was how the author tackled themes like the importance of family, friendship, and community. It's a gentle reminder that sometimes we need to go back to our roots to find what truly matters.

If you're looking for a light, fun, and heartwarming read, 'Hope Falls Homecoming' is an excellent choice. I highly recommend it!"

who doesn't see this title and not think yes please i want to read you!? and im so glad i did. this small town romance gave me all the cosy moments i needed from a book.
we are given Claire who returns to Hope falls very reluctantly. shes back for one thing only and thats to be there for the reading of a will from the town local cowboy. then shes gone. thats the plan and shes sticking to it.... oh yeh, that is until in the will is left some money, lots of money and its put to Claire and a few strangers to make sure this money is put to the right use for the town. and they have a month to do so. this wasn't in the plan but Claire has no choice, apparently she has a town to save and a past to face. part of that past is Jesse and sadly hes all to real and in her face when its his inn they all end up staying at.
can she bring Hope to Hope falls or will it infact be the reason Hope finds her again
i love how in these books we are mostly taken to that perfect small town we all want to be at, live in, taken to. but for this one we've got a small town that needs some seriously help being whole again. and this added such an endearing edge especially when this little group had to com together to do so each with their own stories and personalities to tell.
our two main characters i was just aching to sort things out. there is so much they need to say, so much they haven't been able to say. and so much perfection i could see in their interactions.
a lovely read to cosy up to. and some characters id love to know more of.

A well written story that kept me hooked from the very beginning.
The characters draw you in and keeps you flipping the pages.
They are realistic and very well developed.
I really enjoyed the writing style. I found myself hooked, turning the pages.

Thank you NetGalley and Sally Clements for this ARC

I would say this is a 2.5 stars, potentially 3 stars. However whilst the plot had a good ground, the way it was executed was not the best. It needs some editing which made it tricky to read and to keep up with the story, therefore I feel as though if it had changes made to it, I would really enjoy the story.

I have currently soft DNF'd the book currently and will come back to it but at the moment, I need a break from reading it. Thank you again for this story.

This was such a cute and easy read! It was a fun plot, likeable charachters, a littlie bit of spice and a little bit of angst. I really enjoyed it!⭐️

(the only thing that had me confused was Jack/Paul... the usage of the characters name was inconsistent and made me confused🫣)

I really wanted to like this. The premise intrigued me, hence requesting it from Netgalley: a small town that's not a heartwarming haven from the big city but is actually dying, and the coming together of a disparate group to try and save it. Also interesting were the two main characters, both back in their home town out of necessity rather than choice and harbouring secrets which they're not willing to share. However, the plot descended into something chaotic: far too much going on, including a couple of sub-plots that were hinted at and then abruptly forgotten. Overall this is a book in desperate need of some serious editing, not just for the aforementioned plot tangles, but for general continuity. When a side character is named Paul 60% of the time and Jack the other 40% (and the oscillation frequently happens on the same page), it's near-impossible to ignore and that was just one of several issues. I'm kind of surprised by this, as this clearly isn't a first-time author - but unfortunately this is my first and last time reading her.

Claire Caulfield regresa a Hope Falls, el pequeño pueblo del que huyó hace diez años, solo para cumplir con la lectura del testamento de un anciano local, Slim Cooper. Pero lo que pensaba sería una visita breve, se complica cuando descubre que Slim dejó una herencia millonaria... destinada a revivir el pueblo, siempre y cuando Claire y otros cinco extraños, incluyendo a un actor famoso, una abogada local y una joven problemática, trabajen juntos durante un mes para distribuir los fondos. Claire no quiere quedarse, ni tampoco enfrentarse a su pasado, pero las circunstancias y un inesperado reencuentro con Jesse Walker, el nuevo dueño de la posada local podrían cambiarlo todo.

Entre decisiones difíciles, segundas oportunidades, y una comunidad que parece más rota que viva, Claire tendrá que decidir si su hogar realmente quedó atrás… o si siempre estuvo en Hope Falls.

Tengo una queja: ¿cómo es posible que todo el pueblo supiera que el padre de Claire la maltrataba y nadie hiciera nada (excepto Jesse) para ayudarla?


Tengo mucha curiosidad por la historia de Maren y Scott, ¿qué fue lo que paso para que se divorciaran?

Adorable characters, cosy vibes, and a heartwarming small-town romance — Hope Falls Homecoming by Sally Clements is the perfect feel-good read!

Love the book! Fell in love with the characters and I couldn’t put it down! I will be recommending this book to everyone I know telling them to read it

I did not finish this book. Within the first two chapters were several errors such as incorrectly spelling a character's name, strange language patterns that makes it seem like AI wrote portions of the book, and grammatical inaccuracies.

A convergence of angst and spice, this story brings intrigue and mystery to small town homecoming. A moody read perfect for curling up with a blanket and this book.
