Book Synopsis:
From the bestselling author of The Girl in the Corner comes a story that asks: how do you forgive the family that lied to you, and love the mum you never had?
When her loving, free-spirited grandmother Primrose passes away, Victoria is bereft, yet resilient—she has survived tragedy before. But even her strength is tested when a mysterious woman attends Prim’s funeral and claims to be the mother Victoria thought was dead.
As the two women get to know each other and Victoria begins to learn more about her past, it becomes clear that her beloved grandmother had been keeping life-changing secrets from her. Desperate for answers, she still struggles to trust anyone to tell her the truth.
To live a full and happy life, Victoria knows she must not only uncover the truth, but find a way to forgive her family. But after so many years, is trusting them even possible?

My Review:
I’m a huge fan of this author’s books as they are always fabulously addictive reads which I know I’ll love. This book was no exception as once again the author has written a beautiful book which manages to be both heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. In a lot of ways this story reads as a coming of age story as we follow Victoria as she deals with not only the death of her beloved grandmother but also the realisation that she’s been lied to all her life.
One of the things I most love about this author is her ability to create relatable characters that are easy to fall in love with. I absolutely adored Victoria and enjoyed following her on her emotional journey. She seemed so real to me that I felt she was an actual friend and therefore felt everything she was going through much more actuely. At times I actually felt like I was experiencing the events myself as the author had described them so vividly.
Overall, as you can probably tell, I loved this book and quickly found myself swept away in the story. It’s one of those books which is hard to put down as I really wanted to find out what was going to happen next. It was the perfect book to read over lockdown as it helped distract me from my normal everyday life.
Huge thanks to Sarah Hardy for Books On The Brightside Publicity for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book.
