'A WONDERFUL WRITER' Jill Mansell, author of AND NOW YOU'RE BACK
So I really loved Summer at Sandcastle Cottage. Even if at the beginning I felt like I was missing some part of the story. And it was only after the story ended and I put my detective hat on I found out that there is a prequel short story. Which would have been lovely to read. But never mind.
I love Kitty, Jemini and Apollo, little Teddy and the dogs. They seem like an unlikely group of people to live together. But somehow they work to create an incredible community and family. Plus they all have different things to bring to the table and contribute in different ways. But perhaps the best thing about this group is how supportive they are of each other.
I loved my time spent in this book. And in a way I feel that the story is not really finished. I do hope that the author brings us back to Firefly Common because I feel there is so much more to do.
Summer at Sandcastle Cottage was the perfect read for a sunny day and one that I devoured far too quickly. This is feel good at its best. One with a happy every after.
