Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book. I have chosen to write this honest review voluntarily and it reflects my personal opinion.
I have not read the first book in this trilogy but it seems that each 'cabin story' is standalone and I didn't feel as though I'd missed anything as previous events in Annie's life were made clear.
I loved the descriptions of the homes and how Annie was decorating them, I thought it created the atmosphere of the area very well. Annie's story was interesting although I didn't think she was a strong female character, although her behaviour around the men in the story could be due, in part, to her age. The story surrounding Carrie's background was fascinating, mixing fiction and fact to create an image of life in the early to mid 1900s. I enjoyed the way the tales are interwoven, making an interesting and absorbing novel. I'd definitely read more in this series.
I really enjoyed this book. I read it in one day! I would definitely recommend this book. I loved all the characters and felt like I knew them! Great character growth and very believable.
This is the second book in the series. Annie is looking back at the ups and downs of her life. Her interior design business is causing tension and Noah goes off in a snit. Why can't she see Grayson is a bad choice. Ya just have to shake your head is dismay. Carrie is interesting and Cabin 3 has lots of stories to tell. I like the easy pace of the book. The mountain town setting is a good background. I was pleased to read this book.
The Girls in Cabin Number Three by Chrysteen Braun is a really interesting read. With intertwining stories, spanning generations but all lined to the same cabin, this book will keep your attention. Some elements were very surprising to me. Overall it was a solid read. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.
This book was fantastic. Right from the start, I just knew I was going to love it. It was so close to getting that 5th star as it was extremely difficult to put down. It just had to be reading one sitting. I love how the stories were all interwoven. The characters were easy to like, and I connected well with them. They had great depth and were realistic. Even though thos book is the second in the series, it works great as a standalone as the connections between the stories are weak and they are not dependent on reading in order. I loved the pace of the story. There was never a dull moment. I just live books like these that keep your mind ticking over. I definitely recommend reading this book and series. This book is really well written, keeping the reader involved in the story.
So much praise goes out to the author and publishing team for creating yet another brilliant and interesting story. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Beautifully written, compelling and thought provoking, I was drawn by the cover and blurb, not one I would normally read but I’m glad I did!
Thankyou to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this ARC.
This is book number two in a series and i did wish that i had read this first one before i read this one.
It had well written characters and story line.
Thankyou
3/5 stars
I was rather disappointed with this story. The last chapter was what I thought the whole story would be like, but it wasn't. It is basically a love story, so if you like those, this book is for you. If you're looking for a mystery, this book isn't for you...or me. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
I enjoyed this book. The author has great descriptive writing skills. Made me feel like I was right there. Great plot. Very well written.
In book two of the Guest Book Trilogy, eighty-one-year-old Annie Parker recounts taking on, against the wishes of her new love Noah, an out-of-town design project that leads her down a path that is more than she bargained for.
Back in Lake Arrowhead, California, a long-awaited mystery is buried in Cabin Number Three. Annie meets Carrie Davis who wants to update her childhood home on the lake and feels a tie to Annie’s cabins. Apparently, Carrie’s parents stayed here during the Roaring ‘20s when Bugsy Siegel ran an underground speakeasy and distillery. Unconvinced, Annie decides to investigate and finds their names in the old guest books—Elizabeth Davis and Thomas Meyer. As exciting as that sounds, it’s only the start of a winding tale that Carrie and the new man in her life uncover. The pair unravel a family history filled with gangsters, working girls, and a surprising twist to a family tree.
Loved it. can't wait to see what's next
Brilliant! Great read! I would recommend this book to my friends for sure. I will be adding this author to my favorites.
I really enjoyed this book. The storyline was engaging and you wanted to root for the main characters, knowing they’d make the mistakes they made but hoping the ending would be a happy one. This book is well-written, accessible and exciting. I recommend to anyone who wants a book to cuddle up with on a winter’s day by the fire.
A very interesting read. I would give 4 star. Told my friends a must read on their list. Great author and looking forward in reading more books by this author.
I personally wasnt a fan. It didnt read very well to me and the story lines got mixed up for me. I just couldnt get into it at all and just wasnt a fan.
