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

My Thoughts:

Sarah Morgan is definitely one of my favourite feel good authors, she has a way with words that just makes you melt into the story and hide away from the world. There are sensitive issues in this read but one Sarah tackles and deals with very sensitively. The issues are relatable and even though I am not in Floras shoes i can imagine how she must feel going into a relationship with a guy who has kids. I really felt for Flora but I also felt for Jack's kids. But it shows if families stick together and open up now they feel they can deal with it together. Another superb read from Sarah.

The Dilemma – how far would you go to give someone you love a last few hours of happiness?

My Thoughts:

Another really good read from this author, it had everything I needed for me to be gripped from the first chapter. The chapters alternate between husband and wife Livia and Adam. When tradegy strikes Adam has to make a decision wether or not to tell his wife, in one hand i kind of see why he made that decision but in the other hand I wish he would of told her sooner, I would of wanted to know sooner if I was in that situation. An awful situation to be in and I did feel for Adam, what a devastating effect it has on the family. In times like this remember family’s should stick together. What would you have done with this dilemma?
