My Review
I was delighted to be asked to read the latest release by Claire Huston after loving her last book.
Based in a small village we follow Elle as she returns home from University and initially her crushing disappointment and being back where she grew up and faced many years of bullying. Through her penpal she has an outlet into the world and looks forward to receiving the letters from her fellow Zero after he finds her through a blog article she has written whilst trying to secure a job in journalism.
This story is filled with emotional highs and lows for Elle as she falls in love with a childhood friend and has the difficult relationship with her Mother never far from her mind. She surrounds herself with the people she knows she can count on to help her through the more difficult times and we get to see her grow and blossom into adulthood.
Another great story that is wonderful escapism, set in a scenic village in the countryside.
Book Blurb
Haileybrook, a beautiful village in the peaceful Cotswolds countryside, is most people’s idea of heaven on earth.
Born and raised in this small slice of paradise, Elle Bea can’t wait to leave.
It should be easy, but every time she packs her bags for exotic adventures, old loves and loyalties pull her back.
Will Elle be forced to forget her dreams of far-flung places and epic romance, or can she grab one last chance to have it all?
An uplifting, romantic story about friends, family and the relationships that make a place a home.
