For me, Anna McPartlin is an APA - an Automatic Purchase Author! Anyone who knows me well will tell you that The Last Days of Rabbit Hayes (2014) is one of my all-time favourite books. Ever since reading that, I've been completely hooked on Anna's books! So, as soon as I heard about a blog... Continue Reading →
When I started this book, I was a tad confused. It seemed to instantly run away with me. I couldn't seem to fathom what on earth was going on, who all the characters were and why there seemed to be so many of them (there weren't as many as I imagined), and why I just... Continue Reading →
Jenny is in a bit of a rut, but oh my word, she is the most self-absorbed, miserable, judgemental so-and-so I've ever come across. I think that if I'd come face to face with her in the beginning of this book, I'd probably have wanted to slap her, or shake her very hard!! Yes, it's... Continue Reading →
If only we all had a fearless team of feisty old biddies to cheer us on and to have our best interests at heart, then I think we'd all be doing just fine!

I know I've said this before, but I'm going to say it again: Kim Nash never fails to disappoint.

Before starting a review of the actual book, I feel that mention has to be made of the absolutely stunning cover! The gorgeous jacaranda trees depicted here are what give Pretoria, where the book is set, the name 'The Jacaranda City'. Although they're beautiful to look at when in bloom, locals have been known to... Continue Reading →
This book is such a refreshing delight! Just as one of the main characters, Claire, is told that she needs time out from her career because otherwise the stress will permanently damage her health, this is the perfect time out for anyone wanting an escape and a thoroughly enjoyable read! It will give you a... Continue Reading →
