Title: Falling For You
Sometimes it takes life falling apart...
... to piece yourself back together!
Single mum Jenny's life is turned upside-down (quite literally) when her beloved cottage on the Norfolk coast falls off a cliff. And so, with the storm raging on, Jenny and her eighteen-year-old son Charlie are forced to take refuge in her neighbour, Luke's, cosy campervan.
It's a tight squeeze for the three of them - and Luke's adorable dachshund, Betty - but somehow they make it work. And when far-too-handsome Luke suggests a spontaneous road trip around England, it ignites a desire for adventure in Jenny she thought long extinguished!
And soon she begins to wonder whether losing everything might just have been the best thing that ever happened to her...
I must say that of all the various reasons a main character may start off a book essentially homeless and needing to start life again - that your house falling off the side of a cliff, is certainly one of the more original I've seen.
And it means that Jenny and Charlies lives are turned upside down.
I loved the way they responded to this, and when Jenny also is made redundant she starts considering a whole new way of life.
Inspired by neighbour Luke who travels around the UK in a motorhome and kindly offers to take Jenny and Charlie with him.
I loved their quirky journey up and down the UK, with places chosen at random and interesting routes and stops found.
And its really a journey of self discovery for all of the characters, as they adjust, and I loved seeing it all unfold.
Plus add in Betty their four legged friend, and we have fun and frolics. Such an enjoyable book. I loved it.
Thank you to Orion and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
