A sweet and heart-warming book based on the Hallmark movie of the same title

Moonlight In Vermont

Rating: 5 of 5

I’m a real fan of Hallmark movies both mysteries and romance. They are always clean and wholesome stories with a happy ending. Perhaps not as life-like as reality but certainly what we all hope and long for.

Hallmark has recently been releasing books which are based on their movies. “Moonlight in Vermont” is just such a book. I definitely enjoyed the movie, which starred Lacey Chabert who is a favorite of mine. Because of seeing the movie, I continue to see the character of Fiona (in the book) in the guise of Lacey.

The book reads like the movie but with a deeper feeling as, in the book, we are privy to the thoughts and feelings of the characters. This is something, in a movie, that an actor has to relate by expression or tone of voice and that is something I can miss seeing/hearing as a viewer. In a book, I can mull over the thoughts to see the why of what happens and not just the consequences of the action.

Fiona is a high stakes realtor in New York City. She was recently dropped by her boyfriend and heads to Vermont to heal her wounds, even though it means spending time with her father while their relationship has a bit of estrangement to it at the moment.

Fiona arrives with her best friend, only to find her ex is there as well and on his arm is his new girl friend. Seriously Fiona knows to the hour how short a time has passed since their break-up.

She develops a scheme to get him back and drags the Inn’s new chef into the plan (as a fake boyfriend.) Hilarity and missteps ensue but, by the end, things are sorted out well and life is looking a whole lot better for Fiona.

I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley.
