I've been a fan of Jane Linfoot's books for years, so always excited to read a new one by her, and seeing this one was set in St Aidan home to some fabulous books by Jane, I was keen to see what this new story brought.
And yet I couldn't have been more surprised by it if I tried, as it really did feel slightly different to the authors normal work, while still having at its heart all the elements of a fabulous Jane Linfoot book.
Every chapter starts with Edie Browne's latest epic achievement, now these achievements may surprise you, as given what Edie has been through, and how she currently is, what are epic things for her, may just be small fry to you.
It's Edie's journey over the course of the year since she did a sky dive to celebrate life being successful, and what happens shortly afterwards that changes her life completely. Now if like me you have read many books in the genre, you will have a pretty strong idea of how the book is likely to end up.
But its getting there that makes the story so special. It really is quite eye opening in a way, and its Edie's friendship with 6 year old Cam that really makes the book, plus the continual denial of her even thinking she feels anything for a certain good looking man, who always seems to be about.
Edie is trying her best to get Auntie Josie back out into the world, and meeting people in St. Aidan, which leads to some wonderful antics at assorted classes. There is masses of depth in this book, the characters are all really well developed, , some of the back stories are very emotional.
In fact there was an occasional lump in my throat while reading this, but mostly its full of laughter, and a great heart warming feeling.
I really don't want to say much more, as I went in blind, i don't think I even read the blurb properly, and thoroughly enjoyed reading the book, so especially if you are already a fan of the author, just read the book, you won't be disappointed.
Thank you to Netgalley and Harper Impulse for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
