Another great read!
Part two is a great read! Reading about the characters and how their personalities grow with in the book is lovely. The rebels in them all when they try to stop the sale of the house is so funny! I can not wait to read part 3 hopefully there is love in the air.

Typically excellent!
I love Cathy's books, and this story does not disappoint. In true Cathy style, she draws you in with fabulous characters,interesting plots,lovely locations and the anticipation of what will happen next. Can't beat a new Cathy Bramley story, and I can't wait for the next instalment!

Short
I keep falling for this odd way of publishing quarter of a book. It's so irritating to then have to buy the next section. It's not like they are sequels of a fantastic story. Can't help but feel its a con to get more money off readers. Certainly wouldn't have bought it as a hardcopy book.

Loved it. Everything seems to be going wrong for Gina and her "gang". They are all desperate to save Evergreens from being sold and being homeless. But they are a force to be reckoned with and Dexter seems so nice I know everything will turn out fine in the end. I think Dexter will hot foot it back to Gina and they'll find the money to buy it. That's my theory!!
Can't wait for Part 3.

Funny but sad
The 2nd instalment begins to go further into detail about the characters. You feel sorry for them all at times, especially Cat and her daughters. Yet at the same time they make you laugh, especially when they are thinking up antics for the main house. Can't wait to read the next instalment.

Another winner from Cathie Bramley. Her characters are so likeable. She must have had great fun writing this book as it comes out of the pages in waves. Looking forward to reading part three.
