Oh wow, I read one years ago—think it was about a woman and a beach house and some old letters? The details are fuzzy but I remember loving the feeling of it. Maybe 'The Sea Keeper's Daughters'? Anyway, it was great. Makes me want to try another, but I can't remember the name well enough to recommend it properly. Time for a re-read I guess!
Honestly, just look at the Goodreads ratings and number of reviews. Start with the highest-rated one that appeals to you. The crowd isn't always wrong. 'Before We Were Yours' has that rating for a reason—it's accessible, emotionally gripping, and a brilliant intro to her style of blending fact and fiction.
It's a guaranteed hook. If you love it, you'll be motivated to read her deeper cuts. If it somehow doesn't work for you, her other styles might not either. It's an efficient litmus test.

She left to save herself.
He stayed and became untouchable.
Ten years ago, Sloane Hart fled her Oklahoma hometown with nothing but a suitcase and a broken heart- leaving behind the boy who loved her when she didn’t love herself yet.
Now she’s back. Successful. Beautiful. But still unhealed.
Rhett Whitmere- the man who owns the town, built an empire himself, and never forgave her for leaving without goodbye.
When Rhett and Sloane’s business expansion forces them into a contract neither can walk away from, old wounds rip open… and desire ignites hotter than ever.
The problem?
They’re not the same people anymore. And sometimes, some love stories don’t get second chances- unless they’re brave enough to bleed for them.
There's no wrong answer here. Seriously. I've never seen a fan get upset because someone read 'The Story Keeper' first. Her fanbase seems really welcoming, and the focus is always on the emotional story, not gatekeeping the 'proper' sequence. That says a lot about the kind of stories she writes.
I've seen this debate. Purists say publication order always. I say, read the summary and pick the one that appeals to you most. Life's too short for reading lists that feel like obligations. Wingate's books are emotional experiences; choose based on which story speaks to you now.
Okay, but has anyone mentioned the food? Random, I know. But the way she describes food in her books—simple, Southern, shared—is a tiny theme itself. It's always about nurture, community, and tradition. In 'A Month of Summer', the preparing of meals is a language of care. It's a small lens, but you can trace her focus on concrete, comforting details that root her bigger themes in the physical world. Maybe start by paying attention to that in any book you choose.
From a book club leader's view, this is a frequent question. I tell members that with Wingate, we select a single title. We don't have to commit to a series. It's perfect for one-month discussions.
'Before We Were Yours' is our most popular pick by far. Its 'connection' to her other work is her compassionate narrative style and focus on hidden histories.
