Hello Everyone :)
I pray you're all doing well, and that you're week is off to a great start.
I'm so thankful you chose to drop by The Preppy Book Princess today for another book review.
I'm Kirby, and I'm so excited you're here!
I'm still feeling pretty rough if I'm being honest, but I'm working my way back to hopefully normal, and I'm enjoying getting back into the swing of sharing bookish content with you all.
I'm hoping to get my Bookstagram back in the swing of things soon too, but we will have to see what I end up feeling like.
Today's been a bit of a rough day, and I'm definitely going to need to rest. However, before I go do that, I wanted to share a new review with you all.
In 2022, I began working my way through the many titles of the multi author Tales From Grace Chapel Inn series.
Today, I'm looking forward to sharing my review with you all of another one of the titles in this series.
However, before we dive right in, if you'd like to check out some of my reviews of the previous titles in the series, you can do so using the links below:
Otherwise, keep on reading down below for today's full review.

My Review:
I always look forward to another visit to Grace Chapel Inn, but I have to be honest and say that while this title was still enjoyable, it wasn't as good as the previous ones I've read so far.
All in the Timing takes place during the Easter season, and the reader gets to experience the many fun traditions taking place during Acorn Hill right along with sisters Louise, Alice and Jane. Of course, with it being such a popular time of year, the sisters also have a full house at their inn, Grace Chapel Inn, and this may just be their most frustrating set of guests yet. Alice's somewhat beau Dr. Mark Graves brings an unexpected guest with him, and it'll be an extreme lesson in patience and giving for the sisters to properly deal with the situation. As well, a family joins them at the inn with a teenage daughter who has recently lost her eye sight. As friendships are formed in unlikely places, the sisters are sure this is an Easter that no one will soon forget.
While still cute and charming with a strong faith message, I'm sorry to say that this one did not really hold my interest like the books in this series usually do. I found a lot of the narrative was extremely repetitive, and it quickly grew boring hearing the characters have the same conversations over and over again. I didn't find myself that invested in the story, and while I'm still glad I gave it a try, it probably won't be one I'll find myself wanting to reread in the future. It's definitely not my favorite of Melody Carlson's contributions to this series.
Final Rating: 3/5.
Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)
