I've been a fan of Jane Linfoot's books for years, so always excited to read a new one by her, and seeing this one was set in St Aidan home to some fabulous books by Jane, I was keen to see what this new story brought.

And yet I couldn't have been more surprised by it if I tried, as it really did feel slightly different to the authors normal work, while still having at its heart all the elements of a fabulous Jane Linfoot book.

Every chapter starts with Edie Browne's latest epic achievement, now these achievements may surprise you, as given what Edie has been through, and how she currently is, what are epic things for her, may just be small fry to you.

It's Edie's journey over the course of the year since she did a sky dive to celebrate life being successful, and what happens shortly afterwards that changes her life completely. Now if like me you have read many books in the genre, you will have a pretty strong idea of how the book is likely to end up.

But its getting there that makes the story so special. It really is quite eye opening in a way, and its Edie's friendship with 6 year old Cam that really makes the book, plus the continual denial of her even thinking she feels anything for a certain good looking man, who always seems to be about.

Edie is trying her best to get Auntie Josie back out into the world, and meeting people in St. Aidan, which leads to some wonderful antics at assorted classes. There is masses of depth in this book, the characters are all really well developed, , some of the back stories are very emotional.

In fact there was an occasional lump in my throat while reading this, but mostly its full of laughter, and a great heart warming feeling.

I really don't want to say much more, as I went in blind, i don't think I even read the blurb properly, and thoroughly enjoyed reading the book, so especially if you are already a fan of the author, just read the book, you won't be disappointed.

Thank you to Netgalley and Harper Impulse for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

I have not read any books by this Author before, although I have heard good things about her. When I was offered an ARC from Netgalley, I was drawn to the gorgeous cover, and thought that the title sounded like my type of book.
Edie has a life changing illness, which means that she has to recover, and also learn how to do some things again.
She goes to stay with her Aunt at her Cornish Cottage to have some peace and quiet, and also help her Aunt redecorate.
Edie's arrival makes a big impression on the locals and soon finds that life is far from peaceful.
I was able to relate to Edie's health problems, and I thought that the Author was very good at describing how difficult it can be to deal with illness. Edie starts each day with an epic achievement for encouragement, and to show how much she is improving.
Despite the theme of illness and recovery, there is plenty of humour and positivity in this book. The relationship between Edie and Cam, the 6 year old neighbour is lovely, as they both help each other. There is an underlying theme about deciding how to move on and discover what you want to do with your life.
I really enjoyed this book, and I will definitely look out for more books by this author.

This is the first book I read by this author and won't surely be the last.
This book is heartwarming, funny, and entertaining but there's also some sad moments that makes the story more realistic.
I liked the style of writing, the fleshed out characters, and the wonderful setting that made me crave to be there.
I look forward to reading other books by this author.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
