Book Synopsis:

My Review:
I always love Jill’s book as they are great to escape from reality for a little while which was much needed over the chaos of half term. This book was no exception and I loved being transported into another person’s life for a few hours.
I was drawn into the book from the start and absolutely loved the opening scene of the couple in snowy Venice. It all sounded so perfect that I wished I was there too experience everything alongside the characters. The book isn’t all fluffy though and this book often felt a bit more serious then previous books which I found very interesting.
The book is told from multiple points of view and I definitely had my favourites amongst the characters. I did wish some of the characters had more story then others but I think that would have made the story completely different. There are lots of different plot lines going alongside each other and I found it very interesting to follow the characters as they try to work through their problems. This author is know for her happy endings but there were times when she kept me on my toes and made me wonder how things would end which I enjoyed.
Overall another funny, feel good read from one of my favourite authors that will be perfect for enjoying on the beach this summer, or in your garden depending on how things go.
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Headline for my copy of this book.
