Full of hope
I’ve never read a book by this author before... but I will be again. The lives of the characters are a mix of up and down, just like in real life. But this book is so full of love and hope. You can’t help but love Bay View! Lucy Brownhill does a lovely job of narrating. She made it so easy to love the characters and feel you know them. I will definitely be looking into more of Jessica Redland’s books!
