Paper Hearts & Summer Kisses by Carole Matthews
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Christie Chapman is a single mum who spends her days commuting into London on the coach from Milton Keynes to work as a PA in a solicitors office. What keeps Christie sane is her love of crafting, and as the coach rattles down the motorway to metropolis each day, she dreams of giving up the rat race and developing her hobby into a career.
Christie's character was plausible and I really warmed to her, I wanted to be her friend and sit and do crafts with her over a glass or two of wine!!! Her parents who heled her a lot with childcare (of teenager Finn) were amazing and so supportive. Henry, the possible love interest was insipid and drove me insane, I just wanted to shake him and tell him to "man up!"
I loved this book - for me personally it had everything in it I would want to read about - crafts with a little bit of romance thrown in for good measure (I'm an old romantic at heart!)
The storyline was completely believable and I found myself thinking "I could do what she's done!" although I would never have the courage.
Well done Carole Matthews another exceptional book - wonderful, glorious, sublime, delightful, first class...I could go on!!!!
