The characters in this book seem like good friend you have known forever. A great storyline with a couple of twists make for a compelling read that you should not miss!

Kristy Woodson Harvey is one of the beach fiction authors I look forwarding to reading each spring/summer. This was a good book. The description sounded super interesting. I liked the alternating chapters to see more into each character. The family/neighbor dynamics was great! my only complaint was it was too long in the middle. It seemed very drug out. I ended up actually skimming the last 20% as I was just getting sick of it. Good ending but i think predictable.

Wow, Kristy Woodson Harvey does it again! She is one of my favorite authors so I was very excited to be given an advance copy of her newest novel. This is the perfect, easy beach read that will have you feeling all the feels; heartbreak, loss, and a generous helping of southern charm. I especially loved all the characters in this book because they were authentic and relatable. Get yourself a copy, one for your mom, all your friends and basically everyone you know! Seriously, so good. Thank you to NetGalley, Kristy Woodson Harvey and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A very good book. I loved the way it was told from different characters point of view and at different times. The story ties up all the loose ends. Highly recommend.

Holy cow! This was a ride from beginning to end. What you thought it was about could not have been farther from the truth. The twists and turns! The love and loss. Very thought provoking novel!

This book was the perfect escape. It was lovely and fun. It was my first book by this author and I will definitely be on the look out for more!!

I’ve been wanting to read a book by Kristy Woodson Harvey for a while, and I’m so glad I did, yet so sad it’s taken this long! I need to read the rest of her books after reading this one! I loved this book! This is everything I always want in a book! The storyline had me hooked from the beginning, and I felt like I knew the characters as if they were my own friends and family. This is good writing.

Excellent Read. Under the Southern Sky by Kristy Woodson Harvey was a wonderful read Great characters with great locations and an original plot. One of the best books I have read in a while. Would definitely recommend!

I stayed up last night until 1 to finish this and then realized I just wasn’t ready for it to be over with yet so I put it away....and then started reading first thing again this morning to finish it. 😂 It’s one that needs to be preordered by everybody. Get it for yourself, get it for your mom, get it for you sister! Basically, just get it for everyone you know. I swear you won’t regret it. Thank you @kristywharvey, @simonandschuster, and @netgalley for this ARC of Under The Southern Sky.

I will read anything Kristy Woodson Harvey writes! This was a beautiful book that had me tearing up and chuckling throughout. I loved the multiple POVs, character development, and plot line. I am a sucker for a best friend to lover trope and this one's challenges were eye-opening.

Wonderful book! Two childhood friends reconnect after many years. They both have suffered loss and heartache. Will they be able to heal? This was so much more than a story of romance! I loved it!

I just adore Kristy Woodson Harvey's novels, and Under the Southern Sky is no exception! Such a beautifully written, heartfelt story about love and family. It's about overcoming grief  and heartbreak, while finding a new way to live a life you love. I highly recommend this book, along with all of her others. You won't regret it!

I just finished KWH’s most recent novel - Under the Southern Sky and I am wowed! Kristy Woodsen Harvey continues to evolve with each book she writes.

While her Southern Family themes remain a constant throughout her stories, Under the Southern Sky takes on more complicated story lines which are written with such delicacy readers are left literally falling in love with the two main characters.

I said it after I devoured her last novel and I will say it again - I will be first in line to pre-order anything Kristy Woodsen Harvey writes! She is my favorite Southern Fiction writer and one of my most favorite Female authors as well!

I would give this more than 5 starts if I was able!

I have never read anything by this author but discovered her through friends and fiction. This book was such a fantastic book! I felt like I was peeling back an onion as I learned new things about each of the characters.

The intertwining of the main characters Greer, Parker and Amelia was so much fun! It definitely kept me turning the pages to see how the puzzle is pieced together.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The views are my own.

I could not get into the story line of this book. I was also not fond of the writing style. This was my first by this author and I feel like it will be my last. I felt it was hard to follow and the characters were not developed in a way for me to like them. I just could not get invested.

I have read all of Kristy Woodson Harvey's books to date and I truly believe this is the best one yet! The story line, while at times was predictable, had things you couldn't figure out. That's truly a great book - made me want to keep reading!
Glad to see we have a new female southern writer taking the helm!

I;ve never read anything by this author, however, this will not be my last book. It had everything that was essential for a good read...love, life, loss. Add all that to the fact that it was "southern" literature and you have a book that is entertaining and lovely. My thanks to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I feel like I am good friends with Kristy Woodson Harvey because of her steady presence on Facebook. I was so excited when she started promoting “Under the Southern Sky” that I knew I had to snatch up an advance copy.

First of all, I just adore the premise of any story that starts out with characters growing up together and then having their paths cross one another for pivotal reasons later in their lives. Here, we meet Amelia and Parker who grew up together in Cape Carolina.

A decade and a half later, Amelia is a journalist in Palm Beach who just walked in on her husband’s romantic tryst. Wanting to focus on her work, she continues her research on abandoned embryos and the choices clinics have to make as to those embryos’ disposal. While at a clinic interviewing a doctor, she discovers Parker and his late wife Greer are in this list. She reaches out to Parker who is still mourning the loss of his wife to ovarian cancer. As their friendship ignites, they do what they can to help one another not just grieve but move forward.

Both Amelia and Parker are intriguing characters whom choices are fueled not by plot, but by their wants and desires. You also get glimpses of Greer as Parker randomly reads one journal entry a day. The author’s grasp of dialogue and the spectacular setting of the Carolina coast are just added pleasures to this heart-warming tale.

I think the best way to describe this novel is as a “subtle delight.” The novel’s themes are soft gestures on this quiet journey, but its impact resonates with you long after the novel’s sweet conclusion.

Thank you to Net Galley, Kristy Woodson Harvey, and Gallery Books for an advanced copy.

Another perfect read from Kristy Woodson Harvey. I recommend her to my friends who enjoy beach and southern fiction books. The characters in this novel are very real and easy to relate to even as they go through the challenges they are facing in this novel. The family and friendship that Harvey writes about shows that lifelong friends are more than just friends- they are family also because of the love you have for them.

Amelia and Parker are lifelong friends who grew up together in Cape Carolina. Amelia's marriage has broken up when she finds her husband cheating. Parker has suffered a different loss through the death of his wife Greer. Suddenly Amelia finds out that Greer and Parker had frozen embryos while working on a story for her magazine. When Amelia is suddenly out of a job and getting a divorce she begins looking for a way to focus on someone else and at the same time achieve the one thing she never thought she'd be able to do. Will their friendship be enough to help them both get through all of the loss in their life?

I was first introduced to Kristy Woodson Harvey through the Peachtree Bluff Series. I enjoyed that series, but I felt there was a little too much "should I or shouldn't I?" going on in all three of those books. Well, I didn't experience any of that in Under the Southern Sky - I actually felt it was pretty darn perfect.

This is the story of Amelia, Parker & Greer. Amelia is three years older than Parker and has known him his entire life since they grew up next door to each other. She was there the day he came home from the hospital. Parker always had a crush on Amelia - ever since he was a little boy and that lasted well into his early adulthood. But Amelia never knew. As life would have it, Parker met Greer while in NYC and fell madly in love with her. They married and only a short while later she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and would ultimately die of this disease (don't worry - all of this is stated in the book very early on so I'm not providing spoilers). Around the time Greer got sick, Amelia met the love of her life and married him. She felt her life was never happier - which made her feel guilty at Parker's obvious distress.

A few surprising things happen and we experience Amelia & Parker as both of them try to put their lives back together. It took Parker a VERY long time to learn to let go of his dead wife and Amelia had some things of her own (and some secrets) that she had to learn to get over as well.

Much of this book. is spent on the North Carolina coast and the descriptions are just lovely. It's as if I am there right along side them.

This book has many feels - heartache, heartbreak, hope, anguish, friendship, new beginnings, fear and jealousy. At times the book made me feel too much - but that's not necessary a bad thing.

I think the plot was brilliant and I enjoyed watching it all laid out for the reader.
