Review

The Hideaway by Lauren K. Denton is a nicely written book full of love and romance. The journey which Sara goes through to discover Margaret’s life is very well depicted by the author. The author has very nicely captured the guilt and remorse which Sara goes through for not spending time with her grandmother during her stay at the Hideaway.

The characters are well developed and fleshed by the author and the readers will develop a bonding with them. The novel will take the readers on a roller coaster ride of emotions. This is a beautifully written novel and is a recommended read.

    I absolutely adored it! This book is so delightful, filled with sass and romance that keeps you hooked from start to finish. If only it could have been a bit longer, because the intriguing secrets woven throughout the story left me craving for more.

    I didn't find this book gripping enough to keep me turning the pages eagerly, but it was enjoyable nonetheless. The writing was decent. When I discussed it with my book club, I likened it to a pair of cozy old sneakers - not flashy enough to catch your eye like a new pair of sparkly sandals, but comfortable enough to get you through your daily routine. It made for a perfect bedtime read. Personally, I liked the narrator, although one of my book club friends thought she could be overly sentimental at times. (Perhaps that's because we're from the North and not accustomed to the authentic, low country accent). In our book club of 12 women, we all agreed that it was an average story - no one loved it and no one hated it. Initially, we thought it might not lead to a lively discussion, but it actually prompted us to share many engaging personal experiences, some of which involved family secrets. These personal stories are the foundation of our book club; they create a comforting patchwork quilt of camaraderie. If you're part of a book club built on friendship, this would be a great choice.

    I found one of the two main storylines in 'The Hideaway' excessively romanticizing infidelity, which greatly annoyed me. I purchased this audiobook with the intention of discussing it with my book club, but now I regret wasting my time listening to it.

    I was really let down by 'The Hideaway'. The plot felt so predictable and overused, like something straight out of a cheesy Hallmark TV show. The characters didn't have much depth or development, and to make matters worse, the narrator's voices and accents were irritating. I felt obligated to stick it out until the end, but it ended up being a complete waste of my time.

    I discovered this narrative to be quite disheartening and exasperating.... It felt like a constant struggle, hoping for a sudden shift in tone or simply some uplifting instances... but alas, that was not the case... even the supposedly joyful moments carried a tinge of sadness. I'm perplexed as to why others expressed such positivity about it 🤔 One aspect that truly frustrated me was the way a single individual's decision had such a profound impact on numerous others.... William had no right to dictate what was best, and he consistently failed to uphold his promises.... This serves as a prime example of how eavesdropping and making assumptions can lead to erroneous choices!!!
