Love
Lessons in Starcross Valley
With
the recent breakdown of both her ten-year relationship and her parents'
marriage, thirty-five-year-old Marnie Barnes no longer believes in love. To
give her life the shake-up it so clearly needs, she books a ticket to Canada.
Thousands
of miles away from her home and her twin sister, she struggles to have the
life-changing experience she dreamt of – until she meets Nova, a
dinosaur-loving space nerd with a penchant for living in the moment. After a
wonderful day together in Vancouver, they part ways. Though gutted, Marnie
thinks it's proof that she's not meant to find love and tries to move on with
her life.
But
a few months later, back in England, she bumps into someone achingly familiar.
As Marnie navigates her new feelings, takes chances and makes the first move
for the first time in her life, can she regain her faith in love – and find it
for herself?
Love Lessons in Starcross
Valley is a romantic tale of following your heart, embracing your passions,
gaining insight and a little perspective, and overcoming negatives. It’s a
great story full of warmth, love, acceptance, and it really shows how family
and friendship can survive both disaster and distance.
Marnie needs to take stock following
the break down of her relationship and her parents marriage. Escaping to Canada,
on a trip of a lifetime, she meets Nova. Spending a wonderful day together,
Nova leaves a lasting impression on Marnie, one she carries with her as she
returns home.
I was hooked from the start,
the instant connection between Marnie and Nova was exciting and I loved hearing
about Canada, a place I have always wanted to visit myself. Nova is such a great
character; she seems so cool and unapologetic for being herself. Her support is
instrumental for Marnie and those around her.
Lucy always writes great characters
and Marnie, her twin sister Jovi and best friend Antoni are such likable,
friendly ones. As a reader, you get the importance of their relationships and
how close they are. You genuinely understand their love for one another, even
when they are unhappy with Marnie; Jovi and Antoni’s love for her is clear.
It was very endearing to read
how the relationship between Marnie and student Paislee develops, especially as
Marnie becomes such a strong advocate for her in the classroom. Inspiring and
shows Marnie at her best.
This is not your typical
romance story, its much more.
A great read by a very lovely
author, I am always a fan of her books and will look forward to the next.

Author Bio:
Lucy Knott lives in Manchester England, just around the
corner from her childhood home and less than five minutes from her twin sister
Kelly and brother in law Chris. She loves spending time with her family in
addition to writing, reading and cooking Italian food. When not buried in a
book, scribbling in a notebook or having dance parties for one to Harry Styles,
she works as a teaching assistant where the majority of her days are spent
talking about dinosaurs and making Godzilla out of just about everything, from
Blu Tac to cardboard boxes, and she loves every minute.
If she
could up and move to the stunning Amalfi Coast, San Francisco or live in a
cabin surrounded by fairy lights, she would, but for now she's quite content
writing about those magical places. Lucy loves to write uplifting stories that
she hopes will put a smile on your face, fill your heart with joy, encourage
you to embrace the awesomeness that you are and believe that any dream is
possible.
