Book Review: Sunset by Sharon Sala - Healing and Hope in Blessings, Georgia

Some stories are about grand adventures, others about quiet transformations. Sunset is firmly in the latter camp—a tale of second chances that unfolds like the slow, beautiful sunsets that frame its narrative.

My Review

Sharon Sala has delivered another emotionally gripping story that pulled me in from the very first page…

The Rose—the setting where so much of the story unfolds—becomes almost a character itself…

…the middle section dragged slightly around the time of Sonny’s father’s arrest…

…the ending revs back up with the wedding and the art exhibit…

Setting & Atmosphere

Blessings, Georgia comes alive as more than just a backdrop…

Character Spotlight

Sonny is the heart of this story…

Pearl brings wisdom and strength…

Maggie’s backstory absolutely destroyed me… “I see you, Magnolia, all the way to your soul.

My Final Thoughts

Sunset is heartfelt, complex, and grounded in emotional truth…
