Who says you can’t choose your family?
When Flora falls in love with Jack, suddenly she’s not only handling a very cranky teenager, but she’s also living in the shadow of Jack’s perfect, immortalised wife, Becca. Every summer, Becca and Jack would holiday with Becca’s oldest friends and Jack wants to continue the tradition, so now Flora must face a summer trying to live up to Becca’s memory, with not only Jack’s daughter looking on, but with Becca’s best friends judging her every move… The more Flora tries to impress everyone, the more things go horribly wrong…but as the summer unfolds, Flora begins pushing her own boundaries, and finding herself in a way that she never thought she needed to. And she soon learns that families come in all shapes and sizes.
I never hesitate in requesting a title by Sarah Morgan, and thankfully she never disappoints me. I can always rely on her books to give me a bit of light relief. Often, I read books that are heavier and more complex, therefore Morgan’s straightforward and linear style of storytelling is a rare treat.
I always find her characters to be likeable, and most importantly relatable, this was again the case in this novel. My one disappointment, and it is only very minor, I would have loved more of Todd and Clare together. I thought the humour of their banter was brilliant!
As always, I devoured this book and highly recommend to Sarah Morgan fans and newbies.
