Could more things happen to this family??
It's difficult not to give any spoilers but I'll try.
Everything has changed in this family, economically and sentimentally. New characters appear: remember Katrina? Some old characters come back: remember Lulu? Some characters may go: remember...
And that's everything I could say :D
I have loved the story, that's something I can say. However, Hannah Lynn leaves us again with a cliffhanger, but not as stressful as last time, a small one.

Following the tragic events of the previous instalment, Eric tries to come to terms with his new circumstances. Luckily he finds help and support in the most unlikely places. With the family dynamics now forever altered, Eric attempts to rise above the heartbreak and chaos and embrace his new situation. Unfortunately this is easier said than done when an unexpected visitor turns up on his doorstep, leading Eric to make a life changing decision..
Peas, Carrots and Six Feet More is the third instalment of the Peas and Carrots series and picks up immediately after the events of the previous book. I had just finished reading The Christmas Proposal, so Eric and Susie’s early years was fresh in my mind. I was therefore completely unprepared for the jaw dropping revelation at the beginning as I totally did not see it coming. I held my emotions in check until Eric saw Cynthia for the first time and then, like Eric, found myself becoming completely unravelled.
The character development has been exceptional throughout, each character showing real depth and substance. Eric has come such a long way since the opening chapters of the first book. I felt a myriad of emotions as Eric and Abi tried to deal with what the world had thrown at them. Yvette in particular proved to be a godsend and showed immense strength of character.
Love, loss, guilt, friendship, hope and resilience... This book deals with many of life’s challenges and tribulations. While this is easily the most emotional book of the series, it also brims with Hannah Lynn’s trademark humour and wit and had me smiling despite the tears. I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for Eric in the next instalment.
I received an advanced free audible copy of Peas, Carrots and Six More Feet and I am voluntarily reviewing it. Rafe Beckley has once again done an admirable job of bringing the story and characters to life with his clear and concise narration. He has fast become one of my favourite narrators.

Another excellent read in the series!!
Again I highly recommend reading this series. I laughed. I cried. A really good book to me is when I get totally lost in a book, where I feel as if I am a privileged bystander watching everything unfold in the story right in front of me as it happens. This latest in the series produced that exact affect, just as all of the others. The characters are completely real, imperfect as in real life. They are woven together perfectly. I don't want to give away the story in my reviews. I don't like those details on reviews I read. It spoils something for me. I see another book coming in this series as it left me with wanting it to go on more. I hope the author is working on just that right now! I will definitely be first in line to order it. I can't wait to read her other books now. I love her writing style! Highly recommend! Read the whole series in order, you will not be able to put any of them down and you will want more!

Have just raced through this, the third in Hannah Lynn’s saga featuring the Sibley family and their adventures.
After the shocks at the end of the previous book the family are trying to get back on an even keel.
Needless to say nothing is straightforward for Eric and the ending leaves another cliffhanger, thankfully not as dramatic as before, which will hopefully be resolved in the next book.
I am finding that each book in this series gets better than the previous one as the characters develop and I am really looking forward to the next book

Following straight on from the cliffhanger end to book two, we join Eric in this next instalment in the series, trying to get back on an even keel. We see more of Eric’s relationship with his daughter, Abi, as they try to come to terms with recent events and his mother-in-law, Yvette, shows her strength of character in this book.
To say much more would spoil it for other readers. This is another great read, and just as enjoyable as the first two, with all the poignancy I have come to expect from Hannah Lynn.

I received a copy of this book from TBC Reviewer request - Thank you
This is the last book (so far) in a series and as always I would really recommend reading the books in order
The story picks up right where the last book left off- useful as it clears up the cliff hanger the previous book left.
This book is a little harder hitting than the first 2 in the series it tackles the difficult subjects of loss and guilt but Hannah still manages to retain the humor in these books
Definitely a series worth reading

Reading the third in this series is like visiting old friends; you feel comfortable and welcome and can't wait to catch up on all their news!
There is humour (of course) but this book is also moving and reflective. Abi is growing up and the family face multiple challenges, it is time to re-evaluate and re-group whilst also pulling together with all those intriguing characters that we meet along the way.

I knew that this book would address difficult issues because of what happened at the end of Red Boa.
It did not disappoint. The wonderful characters (or most of them) are back and they come into their own as the theme becomes darker more about loss and sadness and coping.
But it is amazing how they do cope and how the different people develop in ways that are unexpected and moving.
A real series now and I want to read more!

It's difficult to review this book without giving spoilers, especially as this book follows on from the cliffhanger ending in book two of the series, but it is a lovely and thought-provoking read. I particularly liked the father-daughter relationship and how they deal with what life has thrown at them. I would recommend reading this book.
March 12, 2019
Oh what a book. I think this one is going to leave me with a bit of a book hangover. It's the perfect amount of laughter and heartache. It pulls at your heartstrings and touches on so many powerful issues, yet with Hannah's wonderful sense of humour you still find yourself laughing between the tears and frantically turning pages to see how it ends. What a book.

Another fabulous story from Hannah Lynn, I’ve really enjoyed this trilogy so far and I’m looking forward to the next instalment. The reason I think I’ve enjoyed them so much is that they’re just like real life, bad things happen but the show must go on 😊

It's hard to leave a detailed review without giving away spoilers, so all I will say is that this is number 3 in a series that gets better and better with every book!
I highly recommend that books 1 and 2 be read first, as it helps the reader appreciate what the Sibley family have been through to this point in their story.
It is a story filled with both humour and sadness, and the relatable characters makes it compulsive reading.
Judging by the ending, I hope that book 4 will be available in the not too distant future. 4.5/5
Thank you to TBC Reviewer Request Group for the ARC.

Absolute rubbish
I am irritated with myself that I bothered to finish this. Sucked in by the 'cliffhanger' from the book before, this is a weak and unfeasible storyline from start to finish.

** spoiler alert ** I so did not see that coming with Suzy. While I was a fan of her, it was sad that she died. Wow! When it was time for the family to go to the funeral, I can admit my eyes did start watering. That was a sad scene (Nice job, Hannah!)
Again, the narrator is doing a great job. I have no complaints about him. I swear there’s something about the English/British accent that really makes a story great, the majority of the time.
I only had one comment. I couldn’t figure out why Eric was so upset that Suzy had never told him that her sister, Lydia, had given birth to a baby boy when she was younger (prior to finding out it was actually Suzy’s baby). He kept saying how she obviously didn’t trust him. Um… it had nothing to do with him. It happened decades prior. What was the big deal? Of course with that ending… I need book 4!
I received a free audiobook code of this story in exchange for an honest review.

After the cliff-hanger ending of Peas 2 (which I didn’t like) I picked this up expecting the worst. In fact, Eric continues to be his bumbling, hapless self, his small daughter Abi demonstrates challenging behaviour at school, and the crumbling household is presented with two more inhabitants. The tone is dark because of previous events, but the humour is still there and you’ll still want to shake Eric! The unfolding story brings Eric to consider his life and what matters in it. There’s a little tease at the end so something else is coming. I’m looking forward to it!
September 18, 2020
There are so many spoilers that could be given away, but won't be, by me, at least. But this book has been a veritable thunderclap of surprises. And through it all, Eric and his ever morphing family are trying to make life meaningful. Unfortunately, I am now at the end of the three books that I originally obtained. And am rapidly moving on to Amazon to obtain the next three. What an entertaining series.

Received a free audio version of this book in exchange for a review. I enjoyed book 2 and book 3-light reading; nothing earth moving but i would like to find out what happens. Not sure I want to find out bad enough to purchase the books bc there are tons of others on my wish list but I am not opposed to a free copy :)

Okay, so I was hooked by page two. That was *not* what I expected after the cliffhanger from the previous book in the series. I am now thoroughly engrossed in these characters and even though this one does end with a minor cliffhanger, it's not nearly at the same level as Book #2. And honestly, nit entirely unexpected. Off to see if the rest of the series is available from the library ...

Not the same.
While still good, the lack of connection to the garden plot was very much missed. It should have been a bigger part of the healing process.
Will give the next one a chance.

This was the best in the series so far with a more serious theme than previous.books. Eric is grieving his wife's death and still living with his mother in law, when he is challenged by a new family dynamic. Lots of conflict and struggle as this unusual family try to find their way forward.
March 10, 2019
This is definitely a series that you should read in order - don’t read this if you haven’t read the previous books but do read this even if you were shocked by the emotional jump at the end of book 2! I did find that was a tough tonal change but book 3 combines humour, emotion and develops existing characters whilst introducing new people with intriguing new dimensions.
Eric and family faces new challenges and I found myself becoming more drawn into their story with some questions answered but other doors opening up new threads. You are left with more questions and thus I am hoping book 4 won’t be long!

Hopelessness a rollercoaster. I read the whole thing in one sitting. And oh my god another cliffhanger....

I liked it. The first couple of pages threw me off a bit. But it made more sense as I read. Time to buy the next book.

A slow start compared to the first 2 books in the series, but a loving and touching story just the same.

Another entertaining instalment in the Peas and Carrots series. This one had numerous dramatic turns and even briefly mentioning them would give away too many spoilers.

Splendid! What a surprise and how terrific! Quite enjoyable.
