The Blurb
Secrets never
stay buried for long...Lucy Harper has always been good at one thing: running from her past. But when her beloved Nana Lily passes away she has no choice except to return to the one place in the world she most wants to avoid...
Luna Bay hasn't changed much in the eight years she has spent in London. The little Yorkshire village is still just as beautiful, but the new pub landlord is a gorgeous addition to the scenery!
Lucy only intended to stay for a day, yet when she discovers that Nana Lily has not only left her a cottage but also The Broken Hearts Book Club, Lucy is intrigued. Her Nana never have mentioned the club and Lucy can't wait to get started, but walking into her first meeting she is more aware than ever that her past is finally catching up with her.
One way or another, Lucy must finally face the secrets she's kept buried for so long-or spend the rest of her life on the run…
My Review
A wonderful
book. It had all of the components I look for in a good story. It was funny,
there was growth in the characters, and the romance was just right. Lucy’s
issues with her past were deep and it didn’t help that someone in her hometown
hadn’t gotten over her pain and so continued to make Lucy rehash the past every
chance she got. The whole situation was rather tragic for everyone involved,
especially Lucy.
The book was
well written and flowed easily. Although I really enjoyed the novel, for once I
would have liked it better if everything didn’t end up so perfectly in the end.
Because it didn’t read like a true romance to me, a loose end or two would’ve
made it seem more realistic. But that’s my humble opinion.
I give this
book four out of five book shaped chocolate bars.
I purchased
this book from AmazonUK.

Great Review, Nana.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cathy.
DeleteGreat review. Interesting thought about having one or two loose ends
ReplyDeleteThanks, Empi. It's not my normal, but I think with the scope of the issues, the book ended too perfectly.
DeleteGreat review! It sounds like a lovely book. But yeah, I agree, a too perfect ending can definitely make a story feel off. Glad you enjoyed it outside of that!
