Thank you to Hera Books and Netgalley for a copy of this book.
Newlyweds, Marc and Jim, along with Marc,'s 18 year-old daughter, Vanessa are moving from London, to the small village of Cloverley Green. Unexpectedly, Jim's 23 year-old son, Alfie ends up having to move in too.
The new step-siblings clash; the village isn't completely accepting of their family. Was loving to Clovery Green all a mistake?
This contemporary novel is a great read for readers of the lgbt community and allies alike.
The small ways homophobia can show really resonated with me, sometimes it really is just small little comments, if they are well meaning.
They coming together of a blended family with adult children is not something we see in literature much.
Really solid, good character development with great growth.
Looking forward to reading more of Lyndhurst's work in the future.
