Book synopsis

Haileybrook, a beautiful village in the peaceful Cotswolds countryside, is most people’s idea of heaven on earth. 

Born and raised in this small slice of paradise, Elle Bea can’t wait to leave.

It should be easy, but every time she packs her bags for exotic adventures, old loves and loyalties pull her back.

Will Elle be forced to forget her dreams of far-flung places and epic romance, or can she grab one last chance to have it all?

An uplifting, romantic story about friends, family and the relationships that make a place a home.

My review

I absolutely loved this book. Elle was such a likeable character and I was rooting for her the whole way through. Elle has dreams to leave the countryside and go onto bigger things. I loved the interactions with the characters and the plot was good.

This is the second novel I have ready by this author and won’t be the last! If you want a feel good heartwarming book then pick it up.

Some quotes I loved from the book

‘You’ll never be without friends as long as you have a good book’

‘If time with everyone you loved became a part of you. And so, when someone you love left you and never returned, you lost a part of yourself’
