Escape to Scotland and fall in love with this gorgeous and inspiring romance from the bestselling author of Coming Home to Glendale Hall!
Review: I jumped into this book and didn't want to put it down until I had finished it, I felt like I had to try and slow myself down so I wouldn't finish it too quickly because this is a book you're going to want to last. One of the things I loved about this novel is that it picks up right after Coming Home to Glendale Hall, the previous book in the series, but it deals with a side character that we met in book one for its main storyline and the main characters from book one become the side story in this one.
Emily is a great character to get to know over the course of this novel. She has an optimistic outlook but definite lack of self confidence and some of her home life is hardly ideal. It was so great to watch her grow and flourish when she arrives back in Glendale, her home town, and I loved watching the small ways that she changed and the alterations in her own self-belief as the story progressed.
It was great to catch up with Beth, Drew and Izzy again after book one, as well as their housekeeper Sally and Drew's brother Rory. I felt like I was catching up with old friends and I loved getting to know what they had been up to. We also have a remarkable new character in this novel, Brodie, the local minister. If you are a fan of the hot priest from Fleabag, you will definitely be a fan of this minister and his relationship with the other characters in the cast.
A lot of this book surrounds family life and also baking, so definitely have some tea and cake to hand for this one. But this storyline does delve deeper too and does a good job of covering addiction and also unconventional relationships and careers, something I wish was tackled more in adult fiction. I really enjoyed everything it had to say and it left me feeling so happy by the end, I could happily go back to the beginning and read it all over again.
