Must Be CrazyMust Be Crazy by Deborah Garland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Just when I didn’t think I could love this author and this series any more… from the very first page I was drawn in. The characters are relatable and so incredibly genuine. The conflict was unexpected and realistic. I found myself laughing and crying several times in the best of ways. I truly felt like I dove right back into Darling Cove and walked another hundred miles with the characters I’ve come to know and love. Deborah Garland has done a wonderful job expanding this community with these beautiful characters. I will gladly recommend this to others and will admittedly be reading this again to enjoy very soon.
