This is all about overcoming grief and second chances. Hope and Will are both struggling but, with the help of the surprising Maeve, they discover that they. can not just live but thrive. This might be a familiar theme but Roth has written good characters in a nice small town. Thanks to netgalley for the ARC. A good read.

Thanks to NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

Beautifully written story that could have been maudlin, given the circumstances in Hope's life, yet was optimistic. I loved the trajectory of her storyline with Will and how they both grew emotionally. I'm still not sure if I liked or disliked Maeve but that's what a good book does - it makes you think. You'll be rooting for these characters right from the beginning. It was so descriptive, it was almost like watching it on film. This author has a very promising future. Highly recommend.

A magical read full of hopes and dreams and people who need to see the power of living their best life, with and without all the losses that life throws at us. Oh, and there’s a very believable love story woven in as well!

I am hoping that the author will write Maeve’s story next because I am really fascinated with her character and want to know more!

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

The Midnight Garden by debut author E. Roth, published by Lake Union Publishing is a very well written stand-alone.
A touching story about loss, guild, sacrifice and healing, second chances, finding love again.
Hope and Will are just perfect for each other. Both suffered great losses, are about to start over, find a new way to live life to the fullest.
I started reading and fell nto the story, literally unputdownable, 4,5 beautiful stars.

Gorgeous romance about second chances in life. Very entertaining, the author did a good job of keeping it light despite the difficult subject of loss.

Amazing!! I’m not one that really likes the widow romance type. But this!! Was so amazing! Will and Hopes story was great. Maeve has super interesting to me, never knew if she was the bad or good guy.
Finished this in one sitting!!

A grieving widow, a local man, back to run his families in and a woman who may be a witch, or a shyster come together in a small town hoping for second chances. A sweet and gentle story.

This book was very unique. I enjoyed the premise, I just don’t feel like it was executed in the best way. A bit too slow for me.
