My Review:

I really enjoy this The Riverside Lane Series by Alison Sherlock. This is book4 but if you haven’t enjoyed the series so far you needn’t worry, each book does work as a standalone (I highly recommend reading the others though too).

This book we focus on Molly, one of the friendship group we have come to really love. She has shown many times just how lovely she is, but we see a side to her during this story that is how vulnerable and ‘taken for granted she can feel, that she’s just the one who always does everything for everyone else and nothing for herself.

This is such a good story about putting yourself first, having faith in your abilities, taking a chance, and using some grit, determination, and perseverance to achieve your dreams.

Logan is a great contrasting character to Molly, admittedly at first, I thought he needed a kick up the bum but he has a kind heart, confidence in Molly and does want to help those he cares about. He’s working to get over past hurt and it’s understandable he wants to keep his head down, go about his business without too much of a fuss.

Loved catching up with all the characters within this idyllic sounding village – it sounds such a picturesque setting.  There is some comedy from Del, as always.

A story that captures true friendships, romance and a community who will go out of their way to support their own, welcome new faces and celebrate everyone’s abilities and talents.

Alison Sherlock writes such believable characters in realistic situations; you can’t help but become absorbed in their lives. Highly recommended!
