Just finished reading this lovely series of the Preston sister, family and friends.

[Pamela Anne Coles · Rating 5 out of 5]

All the Anna Jacobs books that I've read, and I've lost count now, are delightful, full of emotion and personalities, struggles and wins. The story glides along, seamlessly, and without effort. I enjoy the way characters appear either as one of the main protagonists in one book, and in the background of the other series. I feel that I've lived their lives.

Predictable storyline

I enjoyed the story but unfortunately it followed the same storyline of the previous 2 books. Will give the next book a break
