I previously read this in book format. This one is audio. It's easy to become friends with these characters from the very first book and feel a part of their lives and neighborhood. You feel the love here and the sense of belonging. The characters are real and face real-life issues. Can you almost feel their joys and pains, their happiness and grief?Something strange is happening with Esther Moore. She is blaming Cody for her misplacings and mishaps. Pete is still pursuing Patsy. Cody's heart is still for Jennifer. Autistic though he is, he still has such wisdom. Brad is stuck on himself and his marriage with Ashley is suffering. Should the addition become a nursery as Ashley wants or a garage as Brad is set on? Charlie commits to helping Brad with the addition and tries to talk sense into the younger man. Esther and Charlie help Ashley with her bead business. Much to Patsy's delight, Brenda prepares to open her own business "Bless Your Hearth" at the mall where Pete and Patsy have their own businesses. A momentous event takes place almost at the end of this Four Seasons installment, causing happiness or sadness, I dare not say.
Usually, when it comes to reviewing a book near the middle or end of a series, I say something to the effect of, "If you enjoyed the previous entries, you'll like this...but, if you didn't, then avoid this." That somewhat applies to Falling for You Again, the penultimate entry in Gary Chapman and Catherine Palmer's Four Seasons literary tetralogy; however, this is different for one very important reason: a shocking ending. I won't give it away here, but, as in real life, it seems to come out of nowhere, and it was surprising for a novel that had been light-hearted up to that point to end in such a way. Don't read this if you've recently undergone a personal tragedy, no matter how much you liked the previous two volumes.
Do You like book Falling For You Again (2007)?
Esther and Charlie have been married for nearly fifty years. Big changes occur when Esther drives the car off the back of the carport and into the backyard, when she begins to forget things and accuse others of doing things behind her back, when the doctor says her arteries are clogged and need to be cleaned out. Charlie discovers things about Esther he never expected.This is the third book in a series of four. I enjoyed this book and the peek into the lives of the inhabitants of Deepwater Cove. I plan to find and read the other three books in the series.I own this book. It was a gift from my husband.

Another excellent book in this series!! Gary Chapman & Catherine Palmer do an excellent job of giving you an excellent story with helpful hints on things to do in your marriage as well. There are some sad spots in this story, but they are there as a teaching moment. If you are going to read this book I would recommend starting with the first book "It Happens Every Spring" & second book "Summer Breeze" since this book is a continuation of the story. As with the first two books I could easily see this book being turned into a movie. I am planning to start the fourth book "Winter Turns To Spring" later this week.Also, if you are interested in joining the Tyndale Rewards program follow this link.
