I like how the author followed multiple stories all at once, and did it pretty well. Usually when books are written like this, I end up liking one story more and skipping over the ones I don't so I can complete the one I really want to read, but she was able to keep all of them pretty interesting. I loved the characters, they had tons of flaws, and were humorous and charming in their own way. I'd say that the only reason that this gets 4 starts is that the multiple stories are just hard to read, I felt like I signed up for one and I got 3 good ones, but I just don't like the bouncing around.

This was one of the most boring books u have ever read. I ended up only reading this book at night to try and get to sleep, it gets 1 star from me just for that. I love a small town book with the best of them but this one was just. So. Boring. There was hardly any plot to follow. The characters were cookie cutter, with no substance. It was one of the longest reads of my life. Has put me off reading Jodi Thomas in the future

I enjoyed this story of a runaway foster teen who decides Harmony is the town where she will belong.

My only regret in reading this book is that I accidentally read the third in the series first. So, when reading this one I already know what's going to happen to some of the characters. However, the vignettes given here are still interesting and add more depth to characters I already love. JT is such a great story teller, this book is no exception.

I really really enjoyed this book and got caught up in all the characters and how they fit together.

Reagan is homeless. Reagan though used to work at the local nursing home. There she met and became fast friends with Beverly Truman. Reagan read to Beverly letters she would receive from her friends back home in Harmony, Texas. It was through these letters and Beverly fond memories that Reagan felt like she knew Harmony by heart.

When Beverly passes away, Regan comes up with a plan to pass herself off as Beverly’s grand daughter. When Reagan arrives in Harmony, it is like everything she imagined. It is like she has finally come home.

Jeremiah Truman is Beverly’s sister. He lives alone. At first Jeremiah doesn’t quite know what to make of Reagan but he decides to give her a chance and offers her a place to stay. This is more then Reagan could ever hope for. Reagan become friends with one of the local boys, Noah McAllen. Noah has dreams of becoming one of the best rodeo riders in Texas. Noah’s sister, Alex is the sheriff. Reagan has no plans of meeting her anytime too soon. Luckily for Reagan, Alex has her hands full with the recent full time attention she has been receiving from Hank Matheson. Is there such a thing as a happy ending?

Welcome to Harmony makes you feel all warm and comfy like eating mom’s warm Apple pie o snuggling by a hot fire. I have been a fan of Jodi Thomas. I have read her books on and off for some time. Every time that I pick one up, I just love it. After reading her latest offering, I am now kicking myself wondering why I ever stopped reading her books. I plan to rectify this problem soon.

I enjoyed all the characters in this book. It was like they were family. Jeremiah was one of my favorites. He played the part of the grumpy, old man with a heart of gold well. Reagan had a smart head on her shoulders. Noah is the best friend you always wanted. I can’t wait to continue this journey with Reagan in the next book, Somewhere Along the Way.

Welcome to Harmony is a very good and promising start to this series! I really enjoyed it.

Harmony is a little town where we get to know Hank and Alexandra, he's her older brother's best friend that unfortunately was killed three years back. They hate each other but hate can turn to love... Right?

We also get to know Reagan who's coming to Harmony to start the rest of her life after being abused in the foster care system. Will she find a place to call home?

There are also other lovely people in this cute little town that you get to know and I'm looking forward to get to know them better!
