When Ellie flees America with her son Josh, to escape a messy divorce, she heads for her Mothers in Wiltshire. However, not long after the plane lands at Heathrow does she begin to doubt her decision. She hasn’t seen her Mum for nineteen years, and The Rainbow commune where Dee lives holds some very bad memories. Arriving at the newly named Willow Tree Farm, and adding insult to injury, Ellie is shocked to find her teenage crush and nemesis, Art, still working and living there.
Ellie faces challenges to find her place on the farm, but when it becomes clear all is not as it seems Ellie has a few tricks up her sleeves that might just save them all.
Can Ellie manage to rebuild old relationships and find a place for herself within this new community? Or will she be heading back to the US with her heart in tatters?
When this title popped up on NetGalley I was eager to start reading. I had loved ‘So Now You’re Back’ by Rice and looked forward to another fun filled book from her, and I wasn’t left disappointed.
Right off the bat I found the characters to be extremely affable and easy to relate to, especially Art who I loved (phwoar)! The story was told from three narrative strands and I found it interesting to read the same situation from multiple points of view. The writing was faultless and flowed easily, which isn’t always the case when changing from one character to the next.
The plot was fairly typical of this genre, and the ending highly predictable, but this is why I love picking these books up. I like immersing myself in a story that is perfect!
I very much look forward to reading more from Rice in the future, as she is fast becoming one of my favourites for chick-lit!
