Life is a love song when you
find the right notes
Maggie and Ibby make up a happy – if unconventional
– family. After meeting at university, they now live in the village of
Applecroft on the beautiful West Country coast.
Okay, so Ibby’s gay and prone to disastrous dates,
while couples’ counsellor Maggie spends her days helping people with their
relationship problems despite having no sex life of her own. Nevertheless,
they’re devoted to bringing up teenage daughter Amelia – the result of a
drunken one-night stand when they were students – in a stable and loving
family.
Until a face from the past – in the form of
hard-partying rock star Jordan Nash – disrupts their quiet lives. As Jordan
struggles with his personal demons and old secrets are revealed, can Maggie and
Ibby stay strong? Or will bringing back the past threaten all that they’ve
built in the present?
My second blog tour today is for Lisa Swift's 'When You Were Mine' which is a lovely, easy read which I lost myself in on a long weekend.
There are many themes within this book including ambition and second chances and I found it an empowering read where the underlying message is that it is possible to reinvent yourself and lead the life you want.
I loved the unconventional family and found them relateable and believable.
I recommend this as a great summer read.
Thank you to Hera Books and to Rachel's Random Resources for inviting me to take part in the blog tour and for a copy of the book in return for an honest review.
