My Opinion:
*Book provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review*
A new part of their lives awaits Lily Holmes and her son Frankie in the seaside town of Marram Bay. She will manage a deli there; her company even gave her a cottage to live in.
Things are not easy and they get more complicated when she arrives. It turns out the locals don’t want the deli and they don’t want Lily there. Frankie struggles at school with his teacher and he doesn’t have friends. The mothers turn against Lily as well. Luckily they find Clara and Henry, who are really nice, as well as Alfie, their neighbour from the farm. The two of them have instant chemistry and he tries to help her with the locals as well.
Lily hires Channy though and hears all the gossip, also things about Alfie. Is he really just a womanizer and goes on date after date?!
When Frankie’s dad turns up, things get even more complicated and Alfie’s vet friend Charlie definitely adds some drama as well.
The story has a very exciting and interesting storyline with a great flow. It’s a roller-coaster ride for Lily, full of a lot of sweet and memorable moments. Portia MacIntosh captured them beautifully. Frankie added some sweetness as well and I just adored the scenes between Alfie and Lily.
The ending is wonderful and it’s great to see the change in everyone. The book is about juggling single motherhood and a job, but so may other things as well. It’s romantic, sweet, vivid, fresh, I really like Portia MacIntosh’s writing style.
The characters in this book are well well lined out and relatable.
It’s the perfect holiday read full of highlights and exciting moments!
