My review: 4.35⭐
First of all I am super excited for a main character with the same name as me ~ although my name is pretty common I don’t see it too often in my reads, so that’s fun 👏
The story is told by:
Heather ~ fiancee of Dr Stephen Aston, who happens to be around the age of his daughters, (gold digger alert?)
Tully ~ youngest daughter of Stephen, married to Sonny with 2 boys.
Rachel ~oldest daughter of Stephen who owns her own bakery business.
An attendee of the wedding ~ identity revealed later in the book.
I don’t want to say too much and risk giving spoilers, but this book is full of secret after secret after secret. And everyone had one or two. Although the plot is not overly unique, it is executed close to flawlessly and I was totally kept intrigued throughout. Each character was well developed and had their our interesting issues that brought the whole story together.
I really love that when there are multiple perspectives there are then multiple narrators ~ it helps me keep track of who’s who. Barrie Kreinik, Caroline Lee, Jessica Douglas-Henry, Zoe Carides all did an excellent job keeping me engaged with the story.
I think I’ll always be a Sally Hepworth fan.
*Thanks to Netgalley, Macmillan Audio and Sally Hepworth for the advance audiobook. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review*
