Post 2- Silver Linings by Debbie Macomber

Another Rose Harbor book.  A good book, I didn't find it as compelling a read as the previous 3.  Mark leaves, Jo Marie realizes she is in love with him, Bob tells her the truth about his past and why he had to leave.  Two women come back for their high school reunion, one  Katie to try to reconnect with her first love she still loves, and the other, Coco to confront a boy who humiliated and broke her heart.  When he apologizes, it throws Coco for a loop and she realizes she has only hurt herself with the 10 years of anger bottled up inside.  She also unexpectedly notices the nerd SHE callously turned down for Homecoming all those years ago.

Jo Marie is even more depressed when they leave because the Inn doesn't seem to be working it's healing magic for her or for her guests.

 

It turns out the Inn's magic does work - just not in the time frame of a weekend, as she discovers when the two women stop  some months later,  and Mark does manage to call her and promise to try to return if he makes it through his task.
