4.5 stars rounded to 5
I love Jenny Colgan's books, I love this series and I love this story.
It's poignant, heartwarming, engrossing and highly entertaining.
I was happy to catch up with the characters and meet some new. They are well developed and quite realistic.
My only note is about Marisa's Italian family: they're from Imperia and the people in those are quite well know for being extremely so I have some doubt that they could very loud during a funeral but is one of those thing that are know if you are Italian born and bread.
Jenny Colgan is an excellent storyteller and I loved her empathy toward the characters and how well she describes their feeling.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
