This is exactly what I needed in this bleak times when hope seems to be something far away. A book full of hope, new starts, sense of community and changes.
Oh we know that thing will be better as soon as we start reading but it’s such an enjoyable and engrossing story and you cannot help rooting for the characters.
It’s a story of family secrets but it’s also a story of how a woman faces the changes in her life and find happiness overcoming her insecurity and fears.
Mara is an interesting character, well thought and interesting. She’s being discarded by her abusive husband and thrown out of her home. It’s the start of a new life with new possibilities. I rooted for her and Brian, hoping for their HEA.
The plot and character development are excellent and the author is a good storyteller that delivers a poignant and heartwarming story.
I loved the twists and turns of the plot and I loved how she dealt with issues like abuse and violence.
It’s a highly enjoyable and engrossing story, I couldn’t put it down and it kept me hooked.
It’s strongly recommended.
Many thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
