My Review



A lovely, charming read that is about second chances, relationships and romance. It’s a cosy read, especially if you are struggling to focus at the moment. 



It is very well written and the story moves along nicely, I was fully engrossed from the start and really invested in the characters.  Renee is quite a character; think she is very determined, brave and cares a lot for others. Her sister takes advantage to some extent although Renee could stand up for herself more.



The relationship between Renee and Luc is special – what a lovely surprise to find your teenage sweetheart back next door, I would have loved to have more romance (I’m a sucker for love!). Luc is a lovely character though, I liked him a lot.



This book incorporates a lot of family problems, issues with parents and how what they do can affect people going through their own lives. It is a lovely read and remains light even when addressing some more complex themes.



With gorgeous settings and wonderful descriptions, enjoy your walk along the beach!
