I think I fell in love with The Point by Lori Thomas Harrington within the very first pages. She surprised me as a writer. This was the very first book that I've read by her, and to say that I enjoyed the story line is putting it lightly.
We meet Emma Ashby as she's headed back to the town of Leyton, TN – to Sinclair Hastings Plantation to be exact. Where she grew up with her mother and the Dalton family, who was more of an extended family to her. And Drew Dalton, her childhood best friend, and love of her life.
Little does she know that going back home means facing her past and all that she left behind.
This story is one of second chance, love, friendship and family. It was such a sweet and lovely read. I enjoyed every minute of it. From getting to know the characters to discovering how deep their connection went.
There is a small twist, which explains why there was so much heartbreak, and it's what caused Emma and Drew to distance themselves. Other than that, this book had me in tears at some points. I won't give much else away, because then what is the point? Just fair warning – tears... But know that it was a beautiful book. I love that this was a stand-alone book, and can be enjoyed easily. I was able to read this book in one day.
As a reader, I've found myself a new author that I'm sure I'll be enjoying from now on – if her writing style remains the same! This was a definite 5 Stars read for me.
