This was a perfect 'next' in the Starshine Cove series and its protagonist is my favourite character, Connie. The whole series has feel good, community spirit and fresh start vibes and of course knowing Debbie Johnson, full of humourous banter.
Connie is a character that has always made me smile and being the down to earth, mature lady with curves and a sassy mouth makes her excellent! Connie has a tragic back story that was known in other books but this book sees her backstory go even further and tugs at a different kind of feels.
The story goes through themes of starting again, survivors moving on guilt, terminal illness and children first. It is handles in a beautiful heart warming way without dismissing the heaviness and seriousness of them.
As usual I flew through it without putting the book down more than I had to, Debbie Johnson is a must read, favourite author of mine!
