Short but sweet 😀

Another great book from Jojo Moyes. 

At first I seriously disliked Nisha - a main character. She seems entitled but after all the trials she overcomes and the friends she makes, my opinion changed. I love the girl power sitcom style the book had. 

Another fantastic book in the series in my opinion.  Fantastic plot twists and who done it! 

The fictional story, inspired by Fern Britton's research, revolves around Marion Crawford, the governess to Princesses Elizabeth (Lilibet) and Margaret. It reimagines Crawfie's life, portraying her as a young woman who sacrificed her ambition of becoming a child psychologist to serve the royal family. The narrative explores the complex dynamics between Crawfie, the royal household, and her family, especially her mother’s perception of her role.

The story delves into pivotal moments, including the abdication crisis and Crawfie's relationships with nursery staff like Alah and Bobo. It also examines her eventual downfall, attributed to her misguided trust in George Buthlay, who influenced her to give an interview for a book that led to her estrangement from the royals. 
I found the novel an interesting, enjoyable, and pleasant read, even for someone unfamiliar with historical fiction.

Another great Thriller by the author. 
I predicted some twists in this book but still found it enjoyable and wanted to finish it fast. 

Ceclia Ahern did it again! Absolutely fabulous story.
