The Devine Doughnut Shop by Carolyn Brown

This is a family drama centered around the family donut shop run by two sisters and their cousin. Grace is a single mother raising a headstrong teenage daughter, her sister Sarah has given up on love and relationships, and their cousin Macy is planning her wedding. Their great-grandmother's recipe has been a secret handed down through the generations but now a developer has come to town wanting to make the donut shop into a national chain.
Definitely more drama than romance as that's a very clean and slow burn party of the story. The debates between Grace and Audrey were very realistic and had me chuckling and glad that Grace had so much support and advice from her family. I felt that the story could have used more editing as some of the sayings and themes were repeated and the overly Christian vibe was a bit annoying. But overall it was a good story. 3.5 stars rounded up. 
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.Goodreads review
