My Review for The Perfect Parents by J.A. Baker

Full of twists and turns, and a million and one loop-the-loops, The Perfect Parents is a rollercoaster of a book with so many plot angles I didn’t see coming - and just a few that I did!This was such a good read, and I devoured it in only a couple of days. There is so much I want to say, so much I want to tell you about, but that would just spoil it, so you will just have to trust me and read it yourself.Written primarily from two viewpoints, that...

My Review for A Wartime Welcome From the Foyles Bookshop Girls by Elaine Roberts

I began reading this book without knowing it was the fourth in a series.  I don't think it matters though and I think they can all be read as a standalone.  Will I be reading the others? Absolutely! I loved it and the fact that Foyles bookshop is a real place, with seven shops throughout the UK is just brilliant. I loved Ellen and the friends she made at Foyles but I hated some of the characters she met working at the newspaper office....

My Review for A French Adventure by Jennifer Bohnet

If I’m honest, I’ve always loved the idea of upping sticks and moving to a different country. In reality, probably not so much, but I admire the people who do just that.A French Adventure follows the stories of three women, Vivienne, Maxine and Olivia, and how their lives progress over the space of a few months as they discover new and old friends and go through some life-changing circumstances. I loved all three women and, of course, I was willing...

My Review for Letters for Lucien by Suzy England

It’s heart-wrenching, tragic and sad, but we see glimmers of hope too, as the story progresses.We begin the story as Mathew and Sunny are trying to come to terms with the loss of their new baby. The novel then takes us straight back to the time just before Sunny found herself pregnant and from there, Suzy England takes us on the pregnancy journey through a series of...

My Review for The Love Interest by Victoria Walters

The perfect enemies-to-lovers romance and perfect for anyone who is a diehard romantic. The Love Interest just oozes romance from beginning to end, whether within the pages of the novel Liv is writing or on her perfect date - which has yet to happen!The Love Interest is another brilliant novel by Victoria Walters and as soon as I got wind of it, I knew I had to read it.Liv is working in the university library and to her horror, her brother’s best...

My Review for As Long As The Lemon Trees Grow by Zoulfa Katouh read by Rasha Zamamiri

"It reminds me that as long as the lemon trees grow, hope will never die".I have seen this book reviewed many times over on Bookstagram and I love a story that educates and entertains me, and As Long As The Lemon Trees Grow, certainly did this.I listened to it as an audiobook, read by Rasha Zamamiri and it was haunting. Whilst the majority of us are living free lives, enjoying vacations and being able to travel anywhere we want to, there is still...

My Review for The Girl She Left Behind by Jo Bartlett

I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about this book when I read the Author’s Note at the beginning, but I absolutely loved it from start to finish. You won’t find any spoilers in my review because personally, I think knowing how this ends would make it less enjoyable. The Girl She Left Behind was sensitively written, with obvious research having gone into how police procedures deal with a missing person and the information which they can and...
