The Long Goodbye by James Robinson Jr
Johnson Family Chronicles, Book 2
Under the sweltering Savannah sun, magnolia trees bloom and a posh wedding takes place. The happy couple, open bar, opulent favors and scrumptious food are merely window dressing for the real drama…Fifty-five-year-old Samuel is mesmerized by Kat, the gorgeous maid of honor who is half his age and is doubly interested in him. Samuel’s wife, Tabitha, fights desperately to draw his attentions back to her and their floundering marriage. Meanwhile, Samuel’s mother, Maxine, runs into a man from her past. As the liquor flows, lips are loosened and the truth wins out. Will Samuel be led astray by the promise of restoring his own waning youth? Will Maxine find new love with an old flame?

I love weddings, and thought that this would be a book about romance and love. While there were times in the book that were about romance, there was a bigger theme to this story. The author says that this book is "Johnson Family Chronicles, Book 2". That is exactly what this book is about. Family. The good, the bad, and the really, really, bad. The writer doesn't hold back any real life situations and they characters are real. I am giving this book a 4/5. I received this book to review through Beck Valley Books Book Tours, all the opinions above are 100% my own
