This is the 4th book of the Moonflower Cove romance series and it's a novella about two characters I don't remember ever being introduced to in earlier books, Hayden and Molly. This story is really a best friends to lovers romance on steroids because the relationship progressed so fast due to Hayden and Molly working on a different timeline.
The storyline is interesting. Hayden receives a bad cancer diagnosis which leaves her about six months left to live, so she quits her high paying job and uproots her life to confess romantic feelings for her best friend, Molly, at her doorstep. Her feelings are reciprocated and they start a romance that is incredibly sweet and heartwarming. I like Hayden and I like Molly based on what I've read even though the story is a bit too short for me to form any deeper opinion about their characters.
But I did manage to form an opinion about a side character. That's Mason, Molly's ex. Mason has been an enigma in this series, rarely seen but always mentioned by other characters and is made out to be somewhat of a player. She makes an appearance in this book and interacts with the couple, and for what it's worth, I really dislike her. I know her story is coming up next and I hope I will change my mind about her after that.

A great read!
The Moonflower Cove series shows you that life is not all sunshine and rainbows but that life can also be hard and difficult. The main characters deal with depression, betrayal, illness and addiction. What I love about this series is that no one has to walk alone. There is family, by blood or chosen, and a lot of friends. With them in your corner, things are never quite as scary and anything is possible when you have the right people there to support you. All 4 books are heartwarming and the setting for this series is amazing. I highly recommend this series.

Very rare to give a novella (120 pages) a 5* review. Read at one sitting: very teary but a beautiful story - loved it. Highly Recommended.

Hayden Forrester has just gotten the worst news imaginable. And all she can think of is that she has to tell her best friend. Molly Jaymes that she’s been in love with her for years, before it’s too late. She quits her job and heads to Moonflower Cove, Maine, where all the lesbians go, to confess her love.
Molly is shocked to see her best friend Hayden on her doorstep. Her momentary happiness at hearing that Hayden loves her turns to sorrow when she discovers what prompted the urgent reason Hayden confessed her feelings.
This Moonflower Cove novella is just as adorable as the previous books in this series. Addison Clarke keeps impressing me with her writing and the wonderful characters she creates. Hayden and Molly are both lovely and I found myself hoping for a miracle, so they enjoy being happy and in love. Of course, we get to enjoy time with our favorite Moonflower Cove characters, including Mason, who finds herself experiencing that unfamiliar feeling of jealousy when she witnesses the love between Molly and Hayden. I’m looking forward to Mason finding happiness in a future book.
This is a heartfelt read that made me smile, while also causing some anxiety. I love these characters and wish I could travel to Addison Clarke’s lesbian mecca in Maine to hang out with them. I am eagerly anticipating the next story in the series.

*MC Hayden Forrester & Molly Jaymes
The book opens up to Hayden receiving life altering news. She’s determined to change her life, live for today and be happy. This takes her on a journey to the only place where she she can have pure joy.
Molly is the light in Hayden’s life. She can see the end of the road only because of Molly.
They are completely different, but their hearts belong together. Bradley is Hayden cousin, and she is a fun addition to the story line .
Will Hayden and Molly make it together or will life pull them apart?
Addison Clarke did a great job wrapping up each storyline. This was a cute story with a beautiful ending. I will definitely read more books by Clarke. 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The book is a gem 💎

I really like all the books in the Moonflower Cove series and this isn’t an exception.
It’s a novella so it’s different from the full length books. I found a few minor editing oversights but it’s ok. It’s a good read and I like the main characters and the tie in with my favourite couples in the Cove.
I might just move to the Cove so I can befriend all these lovely characters.

I loved everything about this Novella. Usually I avoid them because I want more but this was out together so well. I never felt like I was missing out on information. ❤️

I love this series and Moonflower Cove! This Novella is heartwarming and it makes you think, what would you do with a horrible diagnosis. Would you just go on with your life, or go to the person you love. Would you fight? Hayden Forrester goes to the love of her life. She wants to spend the last few months of her life with Molly Jaymes. So, she quits her job and takes off from Georgia to Moonflower Cove in Maine. And that is where I'll leave it. It's a quick read, you'll do yourself a favor by reading it. Now I cant wait till Mason and Bradley are given books of their own. 5 stars

So.. I barely knew about this characters. Molly was barely mentioned in the previous three books.
The storyline was not common but has been used before. Hayden was drastic and motivated for a health reason to make decisions and that in some way questionable.

Addison Clarke creates such depth of characters that is truly impressive. I am enjoying the series so far, and look forward to the rest.

This Place Moonflower Cove Is Just Magical!
I am so in love with this series. Addison Clarke has taking each book to a whole new level. The place Moonflower Cove, Maine and I want to live there! The first chapter was one of the best words written regarding someone’s feelings. Hayden gets a diagnosis of cancer with six months to live. And the first thing she wanted was to go to her best friend Molly in Maine and confessed that she has always been in love with her. After driving seventeen hours, quitting her job and taking all her stuff, Hayden shows up at Molly’s door. Molly’s surprise as she opened her door, was taking her out of sleep but as Hayden starts talking and confessing her love, Molly starts to smile because she too has always loved her too.
Once again the story Addison weaves especially with members of the community is a great one. Come on Addison, Mason should be next. Lol!!!!!

Hayden and Molly have been best friends since collage and been in love with each other since then, but never acted upon those feelings because they don’t want to ruin their friendship, but Hayden gets devastating news and leaves everything and goes to start a new life with Molly to the cove.
It was a short and very sweet story, the reality of Hayden’s diagnosis hit you at times during the story and kept you wondering what were the authors was going to work around it to keep Hayden and Molly together.
It was nice to see some of the other characters from previous books from the series and to get to know Mason a little bit more.
I can’t wait for more from the author and the series.

Fourth in the Moonflower Cove series and it focuses on two characters that have not been introduced before in the previous books. Hayden Forrester gets told that she has leukemia and has six months to live. With that in mind she quits her job and drives all night to see her best friend Molly Jaymes who lives in Moonflower Cove. On her doorsteps Hayden tells Molly about her diagnosis and then professes her love. They were college roommates but never crossed that line before. To her joy she finds the feelings reciprocated.
This is a sweet story and shorter than the other books so far. Things happen quickly as they want to experience things together. I enjoyed the book and my lower rating is that it is more rushed and I didn’t get to see the relationship develop as they are a couple from the first moments. Where I haven’t met these characters before this felt like a filler story although they did interact with familiar regular characters from the series. I read this on Kindle Unlimited.

The book was promising until it wasn't
It was engaging at the start when hayden discovered she had cancer and quickly goes over to molly to let out her feelings.
The confession is quick and both hayden and molly settle together swiftly.
Here is the problem, when they got together everything felt so boring, the other characters also didn't add to my enjoyment because i haven't read the other books. The grief and sadness portrayed did not invoke any emotion from me, i didn't feel connected and was alr so over the book.
How can a novella which should go by quickly be this slow and bland?
The way it ended got me laughing not in a good way, going thr all of that just to find out ur diagnosis was wrong all along, i would much rather have it end sadly but wtv.
1.5 stars, i just really didn't enjoy this.

I have rated this 3 as it is a good book but I think if it wasn’t for the spoiler in the blurb I would be rating it 4. I think the blurb sort of spoils the plot arc. The book is set in the moonflower cove world and all is wonderful there, at least in this book. (Each walk on part has had their story told elsewhere covering their bumpy road to happiness, if they haven’t, they will!) It was nice to revisit characters from other books. A terminal diagnosis is in its self an unusual plot point in a full novel never mind a novella. I think it perhaps could have benefited from the extra length if that had been possible. The ending, although happy, felt a wee bit rushed.

Even the worst moment can make the best lifetime change.
A novella that has all the feels, drama and beautiful romance. This is a gem of a story. Easy reading that will give you a great heart swells to make any day better. Hayden and Molly have loved each other since college. Friends that have flirted but valued the friendship. A moment of clarity forces Hayden to take life with all love she can muster. The story is delightful even though you spend the whole book wondering if happily ever after will really happen. I enjoyed it much and loved the characters growth even in the short story.

This book in the series has a very heavy theme, but the characters are strong enough to carry it.
Addison Clarke is really quite extraordinary in choosing the themes of this series. This one was tough to read as a cancer survivor myself and having lost my wife to the disease, it set up many memories I try not to relive. Perhaps I needed to revisit them, as I think about the story it brings hope of different outcomes to my mind. I imagine this was as difficult to write as it was to read, at least for me. Thanks to Addison there is another perspective now. Great in-depth characters, deep thought out storylines make for good reading.

This short story could have been so much more in my opinion. There was SO much packed into 100 pages that it all felt rushed and unrealistic at times. Hayden and Molly were two new characters to the Cove, and two that I liked, but I feel they were robbed and not given a proper storyline or a more in depth one for that matter. This book had more of a fanfic vibe to it, and it was overwhelming at times and took away from the storyline. This series started out strong but to me it progressively got more and more away from the sting debut it had with State of Grace.

So much potential..
This plot had so much potential for all the feelings and it’s such a shame that the author chose to make this book about as deep as a puddle. A quick, mostly glossed over cry here and there is all the reader is getting when it comes to the enormous grief that follows a terminal illness and loving somebody who is dying. I have read some of Addison Clarke’s other books and enjoyed them so I don’t know why this one seemed surface-level, lacking any character growth and completely out of touch with how real people who react in similar situations.

I did not cry NOT
I mean I knew I was gonna cry. I had asked myself why I was gonna put myself through it but I read the reviews and decided I could use a good cry now and then. It was a great book and really hope Mason gets to find her person. Its like my friends telling me to stop looking and she'll show up when I least expect it fingers crossed. I hope there is another book.

Absolutely wonderful
A beautiful and emotional rollercoaster of two friends admitting how they truly feel and loving each other as much as they can when they can. Great characters as are all the couples in the cove and I love the names of the places of business. My only critique is that I wish the story were longer.

New Life To Live
Hayden Forrester had been given six months to live by her doctor so she quits her job and heads to Maine to tell her best friend, Molly Jaymes that she’s in love with her. Life may be short but they are all in on spending what time they have with each other. A crazy wonderful love story.

Entertaining, as usual
I love Moonflower Cove. I want the live there. I mean an idyllic place with a bunch of lesbians. Addison Clarke brings you there every time. I have read the whole series and hope there might be more. A fun and entertaining read. Highly recommend it and the others in the series.

Getting a scary life altering diagnosis is a great push to telling your best friend you’re in love with her. I love the ease of this book and how supportive Hayden and Molly were for one another through the roller coaster of emotions and shocking revelations

Short and sweet
I've read the other books in this series so I was quite happy to pick this one up and let me tell you, it may not be a long read but it's a good one to say the least.

Great book
I am always excited when books can be on their own, but you can tell they are part of a series. Molly and Hayden were great together. Scary way to get together but all ended the right was.

Super Cute
Hayden & Molly are adorable! Why two people need a life change event to admit how they feel about each other is crazy. But in the end, all turns out as it should
