1105 Yakima Street (Cedar Cove, #11) By Debbie Macomber I wanted to like this book more than I actually did. I think the situation between Bruce, Rachel and Jolene had me pretty furious. I think another reader hit it on the head by describing Bruce as 'wimpy'. What man would not see how his daughter was treating his new wife, let alone let the situation get so bad that his wife feels the need to move out and not tell him where she is living? And she is pregnant with is child! Jolene and her brattiness just had me enraged! Also the situation between Linc Wyse and his father-in-law made me pretty angry as well. Other side stories include Charlotte Rhodes and her increasing memory loss, Gloria and Chad coping with the news of her pregnancy, and Beth who owns a Christmas tree farm and takes in stray animals, has too many strays to handle. I'm looking forward to the next and last book in this series. Bittersweet. While reading this I realized there is only one more book in the series. It is like I am preparing to move from Cedar Cove and won't be meeting these people anymore and eventually will loose contact with them. That said I must repeat the character and events are like those in life. Marriages fail because one or both partners move on. People age and life changes for them and those who love them. Sometimes we don't recognize the best person for us is the one we spend the most time with. 1105 Yakima Street is the house where Jolene who is now a teen lives with her father Bruce. Rachel, Bruce's bride and previous close friend of Jolene, has found it necessary to move out for her health and that of here baby.
What do You think about 1105 Yakima Street (2011)?
Really enjoyed this book, as I have all the Cedar Cove series.
