My Review
This was a lovely story set in Brittany France and is based around two main character's Fern and Belinda. Belinda hasn't set foot back in Brittany since she left with mum at age 17 but now she has returned after being asked to help rescue and set up a campsite by her boss. There she meets Fern who we also learn about her background and decisions she needs to make about her future in Brittany. The two fast become firm friends as they help each other on their own journeys. It was lovely to see the friendship develop between these two and how they supported each other. The story has many little plots and stories within it that keep you engaged in the story, there are also elements of romance for both Fern and Belinda. It was very easy to read and I really enjoyed it. The only thing was at times to odd sentences or spoken french where I wasn't sure what was said although it did not distract from the story, however overall this was a lovely, enjoyable summer read. Thank you to Netgalley and Boldwood for this copy which I have reviewed honestly.  |
