1022 Evergreen Place (Cedar Cove) Review

Obviously some of the reviewers of this book are very unhappy people. This book was not bad at all, not unlike all the other books in the series. I kept reading
and waiting for the horribleness that people complained of and it just wasn't there. One reviewer actually had a problem with the fact that a 20- or 30-something
year old actually wore a cardigan sweater with a rose pattern (horrors!!) PLEASE get over yourself. I am not that much older and I wear pretty cardigans all the
time. This is America - there is no fashion police outside of Hollywood.
And Debbie actually has some characters getting married before they have sex. (horrors again!!!)
The fact that Debbie is traditional and doesn't have every character sleeping with every man or woman who comes along is refreshing because our society has so
gotten away from that. Good for her!! If you are into the series, please read the book and don't be swayed by all the negativity.

1022 Evergreen Place (Cedar Cove) Overview

Dear Reader,

Guess what? I'm falling in love! With Mack McAfee.

My baby daughter, Noelle, and I have been living next door to Mack since the spring. I'm still a little wary about our relationship, because I haven't always made good decisions when it comes to men. My baby's father, David Rhodes, is testament to that. I'm so worried he might sue for custody.

In the meantime, the World War II letters I found are a wonderful distraction. Both Mack and I are trying to learn what happened to the soldier who wrote them and the woman he loved.

Come by sometime for a glass of iced tea and I'll show you the letters. Plus I'll tell you the latest about Grace and Olivia, my brother Linc and his wife, Lori (who tied the knot about five minutes after they met!), and all our other mutual friends. Oh, and maybe Mack can join us….

1022 Evergreen Place (Cedar Cove) - Joyce -
I love Debbie Macomber's books. You feel like the characters become your friends. I look forward to each new one so I can keep up with the characters in her books.

Another Good Macomber Book - Melody Cox - Evansville, IN USA
Another good book by Debbie Macomber. Enjoyed it and would certainly recommend it. Believable characters and story lines. No profanity or explicit sex!

It's always nice to visit Cedar Cove - drebbles - Arlington, MA USA
After a failed and disastrous affair with David Rhodes, which left her with a beautiful daughter, Mary Jo Wyse is in no hurry to fall in love but she finds herself increasingly drawn to Mack McAfee. Mack is head over heels in love with Mary Jo but doing his best to let Mary Jo fall in love with him. In the meantime, the two are trying to find out what happened to the soldier mentioned in World War II letters they found in Mack's house. Other residents of Cedar Cove have their own issues - Christie is still angry at James for leaving her; despite finding her birth parents Gloria Ashton still has relationship problems; Will Jefferson is doing his best to pursue Shirley Bliss but she seems uninterested; Jolene Peyton still doesn't get along with her stepmother Rachel who has some news that will upset Jolene even more. These are just a few of the stories going on in Cedar Cove.

"1022 Evergreen Place" is the 10th book in Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove series and while I love my visits to Cedar Cove the series becomes more unwieldy with each book as Macomber continues to add characters and plot lines in each book. There are some very nice stories lines, including the Mary Jo/Mack one (and the menacing David pops his head in to cause problems); Shirley Bliss and her daughter Tanith's relationship problems; Gloria's struggles not only with her family, but with Dr. Chad Timmons; Linc and Lori Wyse's problems with her father. Other storylines are good but are quite developed enough, namely, the ongoing saga of the Christie/James romance and the problems Rachel and Bruce are having (since the next book focuses on them this should've been developed more). The writing is a mixed bag - most of it is good, but Macomber relies a bit too much on flashbacks. The wedding of Troy Davis and Faith Beckwith seems thrown in there at the last minute and was rushed. Will Jefferson is a cardboard character. I liked the mystery of the World War II letters (and the resolution of that plot line) but at times Macomber seems to be quoting directly from reference books. Macomber also recycles plot lines - a lot - I groaned when I saw where she was going to Chad/Gloria story.

All in all, "1022 Evergreen Place" has its flaws, but I still enjoyed my visit to Cedar Cove and look forward to visiting again next year.
