They're fixing up their childhood home. It's going to get messy.
When Willow Lake asks her daughters for help renovating the family home, each has a reason to hesitate about returning to Maplewood . . .
For quiet and bookish Emmy going back to the town that ridiculed her fills her with dread.
The youngest Noelle is perfectly comfortable in herself now, but once wanted to fit in so badly that she walked away from her first love. A first love who still lives in Maplewood.
And outspoken Rae is painfully aware of how much the townspeople hurt her little sisters growing up. She didn't protect them then, but there's no way she'll let history repeat itself.
The sisters agree to go home and make the best of it. After all if they've changed over the years, it's possible the townspeople have too . . . isn't it?
The BRAND NEW feel-good, kick-ass novel about sisterhood and second chances. Perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Lindsey Kelk, Mhairi McFarlane and Anna Bell.

I really enjoyed getting to know all 3 of the Lake sisters, Rae, Emmy and Noelle.
Over the two months spent decorating their childhood home back in their home town of Maplewood they learn as adults how to deal with their awkward childhoods in the town.
The Lake sisters always had a reputation for being creepy, they were bullied, one was studious, one was gay and one may have been a bit of a rock chick, and they lived on the outskirts of town in the woods.
None of them were particularly looking forward to these two months as they knew they may have to face up to all the old unpleasantness.
Despite them now being successful women, just being back home had them regressing back to their younger selves.
Filled with 90s nostalgia, this it's a story of righting old wrongs, reconnecting with the past and reforming stronger bonds as sisters.
I loved all three of them with their different personalities, and all with their own personal goals besides making the house look great.
This was a very enjoyable book and I look forward to seeing what the author writes next.
