I was given an advance reading copy of this book through Netgalley in return for an honest review.
I have read some of Trisha Ashley's books before and enjoyed them so when I saw that this was available from Netgalley I jumped at the chance. I needed a light read that didn't need too much deciphering and I thought this book would be perfect.
It started off well, with sketchy details of a car crash that happened several years ago. The story then jumped to the present day with the main character Izzy, being involved in a similar crash to the one she was involved in many years before. This shook her up and she returned to her hometown of Halfhidden to get involved in village life, set up her own business and unravel the mysteries of what happened in the original crash.
And I have to say, that's as far as I got. This book was like reading a soap opera and there was too much 'gossip' and chat at the beginning that I got bored and annoyed by it. I suppose it was just setting up the scene for whatever happens next, but there was meaningless information in there which the reader did not know about and probably didn't need to know. It was a bit like being involved in a conversation that you have no idea what's being talked about.
So I'm really sorry that there isn't much of a review here. I hate putting people off books just because I didn't enjoy them, so I would urge others to give it a go and who knows, they may enjoy it far better than I did!
