The
blurb:
The new gritty,
emotional bestseller from Amanda Prowse.
In the early years of
their love affair, Romilly was happy. She had worked hard for her stunning,
modern house in one of Bristol's most fashionable suburbs. She adored her
gorgeous, gap-toothed daughter and her handsome, kind husband. Sure, life was
sometimes exhausting - but nothing that a large glass of wine at the end of the
day couldn't fix.
And then a new
neighbour arrived and everything unravelled. A glass of wine became a bottle;
one bottle became two. Romilly's family were once everything to her. Now, after
years of hiding the drinking, she must finally admit that she has found another
love...
My
Opinion:
*Book
provided by the author in exchange for an honest review*
I was more than
excited when this book landed on my doorstep. I’m a big fan of Amanda’s writing,
it’s very emotional and touching and she has done it again with this book.
Another Love follows Romilly and her family. Romilly is married to
David, I think they make a great couple, I loved reading about how everything
started between them. Romilly and David have a daughter, her name is Celeste.
Celeste is a great girl and she always got to share her thoughts as well.
Romilly is happy and has everything she needs.
But then
everything changes… She starts drinking, a lot… It gets worse and worse and her
family is worried. David is there for her, but at one point it’s too much for
him as well. And what about Celeste?! Such a difficult situation. We got to
read this story from two sides: Romilly herself and also Celeste. This made the
story even more moving and emotional.
Celeste goes through so much in this book, unbelievable to see your own mother to go through all this. I was happy she had her Dad and then also something like a second mum.

Amanda touches a
very sensitive topic with alcohol addiction, she does in in a very touching and
emphatic way. While reading about Romilly and what she does and thinks, you
really get deep inside the whole situation.
Amanda really has
an amazing way with words! Her writing is incredible and she manages to write
about difficult topics and make a unique and special story out of them. Her
characters are lined out perfectly and you feel really close to them. This book
is honest, deep, strong and so much more. Have some tissues ready, because your
feelings will be on an emotional roller-coaster ride! A BRILLIANT BOOK!!!
