Jen Amstrong was having a happy life in Starlight Croft: a marriage, the family to rely on. But never take something for granted in this life. The magic brutally broke as her beloved husband left her. Single, confused, demotivated, she is looking for meaning and the peace she used to enjoy before all started.
But she is not the only one to cope with existential troubles. The community center is on sale, and the next step will be having it destroyed for the sake of a new real estate development project who is planning to turn it into a boutique hotel. Jen may have found her new life match, trying to save Starlight Hall. And some entrepreneur with a beautiful smile may add even more to her life.
Saving Starlight Hall by Debbie Viggiano has that great energy of a small place. Indeed, living in a place where everyone knows everyone, and eventually what they are doing when no one is watching, is not always pleasant, but it can really turn into a super-power when the harmony of the community is in danger. This feeling is very well expressed in the book and one of the most important detail for me.
I loved following the events and had a deep breath when thinking what will happen in the end with the beloved hall. For me, it was a read that definitely brought me fully into the story, and made me wish I am there eventually sharing a tip or two about what would be the best to do.
A very entertaining read, with a lovely romance thread as well.
