MY FAVOURITE READ OF 2022 SO FAR...
After 17 years of an unhappy
marriage, Anna finally leaves husband Conor and moves in with James, but both
have “baggage” - Anna has two children, Jack and Grace and James has a teenage
daughter called Bella.
The “blended” family isn’t exactly the Brady Bunch
that Anna and James had hoped for - the kids hate living in their new set up
but just how do they all live together in harmony?
I absolutely loved this book but I
think it resonated with me, because I am a Step Mum, and when I first met my
partner’s daughter she was a teenager and my own son was Jack’s age so there
were a few similarities, but not that many and my son certainly didn’t share
our bed!!
Anna’s ex husband Conor was an
absolute idiot, a man-child and I hated him from day one as he used his
children to get back at Anna, and his behaviour at Jack’s birthday part was just
unforgivable.
Anna also annoyed me at times as
she was constantly making excuses for her sons behaviour and she should have
put him in his place from day one and set the boundaries. However, Anna’s sisters were great at telling
her a few home truths and making her see reality.
I couldn’t put this book down and
I didn’t want it to finish, I want all the characters to be in my life forever…their
stories rolled off the pages and into my heart!
A perfect book to read on the
beach, or a long flight and just sitting on the sofa.
