My Thoughts
This is the first book I have read by Georgia Hill, but I will definitely get my hands on her others, especially the rest of this series! I thoroughly enjoyed this light hearted read. All the characters were very likeable, even Biddy Roulestone.
"...or maybe it was the absence of its most troublesome member, the pensioner with a past, Biddy Roulestone.”
The book revolves around a group of characters who live in a small town called, Berecombe. They are members of a book club run by Amy, the manager of the only bookshop in town. I really enjoyed reading about her relationships with all the characters individually, especially her one sided budding romance!
“Is there anything so painful as unrequited love, she wondered, feeling the familiar longing for him shoot through her.”
The chapters were very short so it was a quick and easy read, but I still had trouble putting it down. It was a short book and I must admit I was quite disappointed when I got to the end, I wanted more!
Throughout the book, Amy, the protagonist, became more confident through the support of her friends and developed her relationships further, especially with her Mum.
“I agree. I’m so glad you’ve come, Mum.”
As is common in books about relationships, there was a few misunderstandings along the way, but Georgia wrapped all that up at the end and it had a very satisfying conclusion!
Overall, this was a light, easy, fun and thoroughly enjoyable read and if you like books by Monica McInerney or Marian Keyes, then this book is for you!
"Ah, hush your mouth, man...Wouldn't I be the terrible eejit if I let you go?"
