This is a warm-hearted, uplifting story…It is a fun and entertaining story, and very enjoyable and more-ish. I kept turning the pages and was disappointed when it ended as I was loving the various threads of the story.’ Rachel’s Random Reads ‘I loved how real the stories felt, how much I was pulled into caring about each of the characters in the novel. This was a fantastic read full of friendship, love, laughs, a few tears and a whole host of hope for the future. This is the first of Sophie's books I have read but it definitely won't be the last, she's a great voice in women's fiction and one I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who loves a heartwarming story.
