This was such a lovely comforting cozy read, but I must admit there were moments when I shared a tear you absolutely love the ending. You won’t be able to put this book down and you won’t regret reading it.

Tess Alexander loves her life with her husband Charles, at Hollyhocks Cottage in the idyllic Cotswold village of Lower Leaping. Then Charles shocks her by saying he's moving out and is in love with Melody. She meets Rob who's down on his luck and offers him the use of her annexe till he gets back on his feet. Her daughter Hannah is travelling in Australia before she starts uni. Wonderful book thoroughly enjoyed it

I read this book in 2 sittings and found it to be charming and uplifting. Tess’ life has been picture perfect until her husband leaves her and she has to decide how to reframe her future. With a picture perfect cottage and good friends, together with a very close relationship with her Mum and her daughter obviously things are not all bad. Throw in a couple of handsome new friends and the future definitely looks brighter.
Thanks to Netgalley and Boldwood Books for the chance to read and review an ebook ARC.
