Sarah Addison Allen, is one of my favorite authors. I read 216 pages in a few hours, but finally had to go to bed. When I started reading this I remembered why I like this author so much. In all her books her characters have some gift or magical power, and it makes you think you might also have some magical gift.

This is book 2 about the Waverly sisters and family. Bay is the daughter of Sydney is now 15. Bay has the gift of knowing where things belong. Sydney has the gift of styling hair in a very magical way. Claire, has a gift with food and flowers, and has become a candy maker instead of a caterer. She is overwhelmed.

They have a relative who has the gift of giving odd objects to you, and later you will find out it is exactly what you need.

The two sisters mother and grandmother have deceased many years ago, but the 2 dead women's choices are still affecting the sisters to this day. They are trying to understand their mother and grandmother to make more sense of who they are.

There are more characters, like the apple tree, the husbands of the 2 sisters, Bay's love interest, and mysterious man who shows up one day to upset the apple cart. (I didn't list all the side characters)

First Frost is the day they all wait for like new years eve. If they can just make it to first frost then everything will all work out.

I really loved this book, and the characters. I am not sure if you need to read book one to read this book. It seemed like it could stand alone.
