Books by Kristan Higgins
There's something about a Kristan Higgins story that I love. She's lately released a number of standalone women's fiction novels, and I'll be honest - each time I look at the premise I'm a little daunted by how emotionally complex the book appears. Death of a spouse, weight and body image issues, in ...
Joshua and Lauren are the perfect couple. Newly married, they're wildly in love, each on a successful and rewarding career path. Then Lauren is diagnosed with a terminal illness.
As Lauren's disease progresses, Joshua struggles to make the most of the time he has left with his wife and to come to ...
Kristan Higgins' most recent offering, Always the Last to Know, is a pitch-perfect picture of a family in crisis. That might sound a bit depressing, but Higgins is able to infuse the story with exactly the right amount of humor which, while not necessarily going to cause you to laugh out loud, will ...
Emma London never thought she had anything in common with her grandmother Genevieve London. The regal old woman came from wealthy and bluest-blood New England stock, but that didn't protect her from life's cruelest blows: the disappearance of Genevieve's young son, followed by the premature death of ...

Kristan Higgins has been one of my favorite contemporary authors for quite a while now. I’ve enjoyed most of the books in her Blue Heron series—as someone who hails from a small town in the northeast, the setting feels very familiar. This latest book was, for me, one of the best in the series. I ...
Traditionally, the Happily Ever After in romance is that of my generation's favorite childhood chant. "First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage." What marriage and children over time look like is often explored either not at all or in cameos wherein lovers from pa ...
I am really a big fan of Kristan Higgins. I believe that I have read every book she has written and therefore I was really looking forward to her latest in the Blue Heron series set in Manningsport wine country. As per usual, her descriptions are wonderful, the dialogue is witty, but it was the stor ...
Amy Rubinate is one of my favorite narrators so I was excited to listen to her narration of Kristan Higgins’ latest work. Maggie gave the print version a B; I didn’t like the story quite as much as she did and, despite a sterling narration, can only give a qualified recommendation to the audiobo ...
