The sign of a good book is when you reach the last page, your disappointed the book is over. Author Debbie Macomber makes you long for the story to continue.
Author D Macomber has written a entertaining story about realistic situations with likable and believable characters.
Can't wait for the next book by author Debbie Macomber.
Thank you NetGalley and Ballantine Publications for the opportunity to read and give an honest review.

Debbie Macomber is a master at weaving a story together. She writes interesting characters that are so descriptive, you feel like you know them or want to be friends with them. The lead women, Jenna & Maureen, were a great pair to follow their stories. The concept of two divorced women that raised their children alone then started finding love after the children are grown is very hopeful for women in this situation. I highly recommend reading this book to see if they find the loves of their lives or just another step in their journey.

Another winner by Debbie! I completely enjoyed this book. I love the way Debbie can hold my attention. A happy ending for 2 single moms!

I am a huge fan of Debbie Macomber’s books and this was is definitely no exception. This story had all of what I love about her books and more. Window on the Bay is a story about two old friends and their journey through life with second chances and unexpected relationships. The characters in Debbie Macomber’s stories are always very relatable and that makes the books easy to read. This is one that is not to be missed!

I have loved every Debbie Macomber book I have ever read but I truly struggled with this one. Usually I find her characters charming and relatable. I enjoyed Jenna’s part of the book. On the other hand I could not stand Maureen’s character. She truly annoyed me and it was so hard to finish the book disliking a character so much. I would have given 4-5 stars if it had just been about Jenna and her family and relationship with Rowan. The back and forth with Maureen and Logan and her indecisiveness was insufferable.

I have always enjoyed reading Debbie Macomber books and Window on the Bay is no exception. The dual love stories were a fun twist as two women, best friends since college, single moms and empty nesters meet men they would normally stay away from, and end up falling in love. Of course there are misunderstandings, and adult children involved on all sides, leading to a light enjoyable read that is sometime laugh-out-loud funny. Definitely recommend Window on the Bay!

Debbie Macomber's Window on the Bay is a book that I can relate to. She did an excellent job f making the reader understand what Jenna and Maureen were going through in their lives.

Bravo!! Debbie Macomber does it again! When two young ladies meet in college they hit it off. Their lives take similar paths as life steps in and they are married with babies of their own..
Time passes and each one is divorced and their children have grown up and left home to start their own lives now with quiet houses they cautiously meet some men who might just fill that gap.
I had to laugh out loud as I had always wondered why my orthopedic surgeon was so snarky!!
Hop on board as the rollicking adventures of Jenna and Maureen will keep you entertained.
WAIT do they ever get to visit Paris? The vacation dream of long ago? Read this book for yourself, you deserve it!

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley.
I am a huge fan of Debbie Macomber and have read all her books. This one did not disappoint at all. In true Debbie Macomber fashion, the book had well developed characters and plot with lots of family, friendships and love. A truly great read!
Jenna and Maureen meet in college and form a life long friendship. Each will be there for the other through all life's ups and downs. Each woman graduates college, marries, has children, and within years is divorced. Though their experiences with love were completely different, they both find themselves having a hard time trusting the new men in their lives and putting past hurts and insecurities behind them. As with any good romance, there are many obstacles each family must face and find a way to overcome in order to find their happily ever after.
This is a nice ,feel good, easy read that reminds you that while everyone may be different, love can always find a way to work.

Another awesome book by Debbie

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Random house publishing through NetGalley! this book is so good I had trouble putting it down as always Debbie Macomber always Deliver's! this is a incredible Heartwarming story! you will not wan to put it down!

Window on the Bay is a pretty good read. I liked this sweet and heartwarming story. I am giving it four stars. I recommend it.

I never thought I would say this about two middle-aged women, but 'Window on the Bay' was a coming of age novel. The story was entirely believable and had characters that had realistic problems relating to relationships, work, health and family. As always with Debbie Macomber there was a tender touch in the writing and I was allowed to flow along and learn with Maureen and Jenna. What a wonderful read that I can highly recommend to all.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

Debbie Macomber is always a skillful and thoughtful storyteller and I always appreciate her character and integrity that pours out into her writing.
And even though this particular story was not my preferred age group to read about, I genuinely enjoyed reading Jane and Maureen's stories as they walked through the "empty nest syndrome." I think many of her readers will identify and appreciate these stories as well. There was much heart and banter between the single parents and their young adult children.
It was well written and will surely pull at the heartstrings of lots of empty nesters and single parents.

I love the way that Debbie Macomber writes a book. It flows smoothly and is easy to read. You get invested in the characters. This one is no different in that manner.
I loved this story of friendship that spans the ever changing cycles of life. The family that sticks together and helps one another.
I especially loved "Marian the librarian"
Cant wait for the next Macomber read!

Another enjoyable read by Debbie Macomber. This book focuses on two women who are single mothers and now have become empty nesters. As mothers often do, they put their own interests on the backburner to be there for their families. I recommend this book for anyone looking for a light read.

This book didn’t just showcase one couple in a romance and showcased two. Best friends. The angst that went on was so real and believable that it was easy to be swept away. What a treat to have double good classic Debbie Macomber. Book provided by NetGalley.

I always love Debbie Macomber's wholesome, faithful stories. This was a little heavier for me but only because it related to some of issues in my past. Her book had a happy ending that was different than mine but I am happy where I am. The story was so real as we're the characters and their feelings. I could say this was not as light a read as her usual books yet that may be because of how I related to it.
A great book, as usual.

I have always been a Debbie Macomber fan and was thrilled to be granted permission to read an early copy of this book. I liked it, but did not love it. She can pull at your heartstrings with her characters and her story, but I just found this one to be very slow and not very exciting. I had a hard time keeping my mind from wandering while reading. Liked the two main characters and can relate as I am also an empty nester, but they seemed very old fashioned, shy, and reserved, I kind of wanted to push them and tell them to start living-be brave, which of course is what they finally did!

Ahhh Debbie Macomber writes the best family and romance books! Good, clean fun! There are moments that pull at your heart just like you would expect from Macomber. Definitely worth reading!!
