I breezed through this ARC in less than 24 hours. It was what I needed on a cold day! The Murphy women are strong, successful and so close! This book is refreshing..it’s full of success and love. Another great addition to the Peachtree series!

I love this series! I love the bond and relationship of the Murphy Women. I'm sad that this was the last book in this series. The author did a great job with the creation and building up of the characters and helping the reader visualize Peachtree. It sounded like a heavenly place to live and grow up. I recommend this series.

A perfect ending to a lovely series, that has me wanting to pack up and move to Peachtree Bluff!
I admit, I’m going to miss the “Murphy girls”. The first two books featured a big family full of big personalities-each book focusing on mom Ansley and one of the three sisters. So no surprise that youngest sister & actress Emerson is a force to be reckoned with! Tears, laughs and plenty of drama fill these pages, but when push comes to shove-family is always there for you!!

I have really enjoyed this series of Kristy Woodson Harvey and was desperately looking forward to the last book in the series. This was a good read, but not my favorite in the series. Emerson comes off like a whiny 27-year-old woman who needs to grow up. I found her to be quite annoying throughout most of the story and was tempted to put the book down altogether. I kept reading because I was torn between Mark and Kyle and I did not know how it was going to turn out. All in all a good story, but not my favorite in the series.

I fell in love with Peachtree Bluff in Harvey’s Slightly South of Simple. I found the Series when the 2nd book, The Secret to Southern Charm came out. I had just got back into reading and the cover drew me in. I am a sucker for books on the low country and what looks to be a beach read. I saw it was the second in a series therefore my adventures began in Caroline’s world and continued to book 2 with Sloane’s story.

I could not wait to get my hands on the 3rd and final installment in the Peachtree Bluff series. I had the pleasure of obtaining an egalley in exchange for an honest review. Kristy Woodson Harvey does not disappoint in The Southern Side of Paradise. She shows the inner struggles of woman and how they can overcome almost anything. Each book takes on the story of one of the Murphy sisters and their mother Ansley. Though their worlds may seem perfect on the outside they are anything but that. The Southern Side of Paradise is youngest daughter Emerson’s story. Are the glitz and glamour of her Hollywood life too much for her? Are there skeletons in her closet? Emerson has secrets of her own and she is afraid for them to come out. Could secrets from the past coming crashing down and ruin everything for the Murphy women? You will have to read on and find out. At times I found Emerson to be a little whiney like a teenager but that did not take away from the story.

I am happy with the ending that Harvey chose for the Murphy women. I am sad to see them go but I look forward to the next world that Harvey will create. I give The Southern Side of Paradise a solid 4.5⭐️’s! My recommendation is read on!

I am a huge fan of the Peachtree Bluff series and I truly never wanted it to end, but The Southern Side of Paradise is a fantastic finale!

For those of you who haven’t started this series each installment builds on each other -so it’s best to start from the beginning and trust me you will thank me after ;). I was considering doing a reread of the 2 prior novels to make sure I was fresh on the Murphy family, but I didn’t because I just couldn’t contain my excitement to see how everything would finish up!!! Thankfully Kristy Woodson Harvey gently and organically brushed us up on all of the character’s situations—LOVED THAT!

I simply adored everything this book!! I was weary how things would wrap-up because I have grown super attached to these characters, but Kristy Woodson Harvey blew me away with pure awesomeness is this book! I literally flew through this book because it was unputdownable! My heart is full because it ended perfectly, but there is still a part if me that would LOVE to see another installment (or maybe a spin-off series)! The Southern Side of Paradise is a total and complete 5 star read! I recommend this series to EVERYONE! I am so flipping excited to see what Kristy Woodson Harvey comes out with next!!

I was sad to see this third and last book in the Peachtree Bluff series end. I loved how all of the story lines wrapped. The author does a great job developing complex characters who struggle with real life situations throughout the series. The situations they are in aren't solved with a simple as "follow your heart", making the characters and their lives feel authentic. I loved the theme of second chances, and not being afraid to try again. I really loved this book!

My first thoughts while reading The Southern Side of Paradise were "Wow, what an amazing storyteller" and "this author writes authentic settings" and "the perfect family drama." I was skeptical going in because I hadn't read the first two books in the series but have always wanted to try the authors work and I am so glad I did. I will immediately be purchasing the first two novels and am so excited to get lost int he stories like I did this one.

I truly adored this book. I couldn't put it down. I felt a little lost in some situations but those were quickly put to the side because of how deeply invested I was in these women's lives. I am so happy to say that I have now found a new author to read!

This is the third and final book in the Peachtree Bluff series and even though I'm sad to say goodbye to this family, the story ended perfectly with all of the issues wrapped up.

This book takes us back to Peachtree Bluff and the Murphy family. Mother Ansley and daughters Caroline, Sloane and Emerson. Book 1 was Caroline's story, book 2 was Sloane's story and this is Emerson's story. Emerson left Peachtree Bluff right out of high school to go to Hollywood and pursue her dream of becoming an actress. She has started getting small parts and finally felt that she was making some headway with her dream when she came home for the summer. She re-connected with her high school boyfriend and had a major health scare all of which made her decision of what to do with her life even more difficult. Should she stay in Peachtree Bluff and marry her boyfriend or should she continue her goal to become an actress or was there a way she could have both? Along with her dilemma, a secret that her mother had been keeping for years came to light which further affected her life altering decisions.

This entire series about the Murphy family has been fantastic and I am sad to say goodbye to them I wouldn't mind seeing another book about this family in the future so we can keep up with them because I feel like they're friends after reading this series.

Perfect ending to a perfect series from a wonderful Southern author. Loved loved loved it!

Thanks to the author for a copy of this book to read and review. All opinions are my own.

Loved the first two novels. Felt very connected to the characters. This final installment was very satisfying.
