I’m telling you, no one does it quite like Sarah Morgan! Thank you @hqstories for sending this one over I absolutely adored it!

During a time where lacklustre hyped-up books are in abundance, you really do learn to appreciate authors like Sarah Morgan who know how it’s done when it comes to contemporary domestic fiction!

Joanna’s famous ex-husband, Cliff Whitman, dies in a car accident and her whole life is torn apart - she doesn’t know how to feel any more. It’s discovered that a young woman was also in the car with him at the time of the crash, Ashley, who is pregnant.

With an unborn baby in the mix, Joanna feels obliged to help Ashley knowing how harsh the media will be when they find out about celebrity chef Cliff Whitman’s ex-wife and this mysterious female “friend”. Ashley can’t believe it when Joanna comes to visit her in hospital and suggests they hide at her beach house. She feels that Joanna should hate her not be helping her but it’s an offer she can’t refuse…and I won’t spoil it for you.

It was so nice to read a story like this after such a long time. It was so comforting and wholesome. I loved all the characters, from Ashley to Joanna to Joanna’s old friends who you learn more about as the book goes on and an old love interest too! The perfect summer read.

Soy Tanya. I’m the youngest of the group...and I don’t really know what to say except that I find these things really awkward. When Linda first came to me with this idea of an online bookclub/review page I was 100% down, although I was a little worried and felt like backing out on many occasions as I felt like my reviews were awful - I’m not good with words at all. If anyone was to ask me a year ago how I found a book, I’d reply: “good” - that’s my review done. But being part of this club with such amazing girls has really made me a lot more confident and comfortable. So I’ll forever be grateful. It’s always a laugh when we’re together, we are guaranteed to get side-tracked but our meetings are always productive and a lot of fun. This is just the beginning for us. I like reading all kinds of books from different genres but prefer romance/YA. With work being full on I like feel-good books that are light and easy. I’m currently in the middle of reading a few books lol but sticking to The Zanzibar Wife by Rebecca Rodriquez. Reading for me is a form of escapism, just getting away from the stress of real life and getting lost in book and falling in love with characters. I can’t list my top 5 or even top 10 so here are a few of my all-time favourites: The Sicilian by Mario Puzo To all the boys I’ve loved before by Jenny Han, A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hoseeini, The Forty Rules of Love by Shafa Kelif Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith and Moonlight Over Manhattan by Sarah Morgan.
