Kristy Woodson Harvey
The internationally bestselling Peachtree Bluff series concludes with this “deliciously authentic Southern tale of family and the often messy, complex relationships between sisters, mothers, and daughters” (Susan Boyer, USA TODAY bestselling author).With the man of her dreams back in her life and all three of her daughters happy, Ansley Murphy should be content. But she can’t help but feel like it’s all a little too good to be true. Her youngest daughter, actress Emerson, is recently engaged and has just landed the role of a lifetime. She seemingly has the world by the tail and yet something she can’t quite put her finger on is worrying her—and it has nothing to do with her recent health scare. When two new women arrive in Peachtree Bluff—one who has the potential to wreck Ansley’s happiness and one who could tear Emerson’s world apart—everything is put in perspective. And after secrets that were never meant to be told come to light, the powerful bond between the Murphy sisters and their mother comes crumbling down, testing their devotion to each other and forcing them to evaluate the meaning of family. “Kristy Woodson Harvey has done it again….The Southern Side of Paradise is full of humor, charm, and family” (Lauren K. Denton, USA TODAY bestselling author) and is the ultimate satisfying beach read.

"I'm a little late to the Kristy Harvey fan club, but better late than never. Not knowing much about the story line I just wanted another trilogy to read. There are three books obviously and each one takes a turn of focusing on each daughter with the mom as the main focus in each of the 3 books. I found the mom's story very engaging if not someone controversial, whereas, the daughters have relatively more realistic stories, besides the fact that every character (even the mom) is thin and beautiful. Overall, each book took me about 4 hours to read. A perfect read to get through a hot summer day by the pool."
"Thank you to NetGalley, Gallery Books, and Kristy Woodson Harvey for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This is the third book in the Peachtree Bluff series and was just as fun as the first two. The Southern Side of Paradise focuses on Ansley (the mother) and Emerson (the third sister) as they navigate their relationships with the men they love and with each other. I love how the story stresses the strength of the bond between the 4 women and how family is there for you no matter what rather than only focusing on romantic relationships. Also, how choices that we make earlier in our lives can haunt us, but also provide the greatest joy. This book ties up many of the loose ends from the other 2 books and is a great, fast, and fun read - perfect for entertainment while on vacation or sitting on the beach."
