Took a while to get through, but enjoyed in the end

Amazing characters, very gripping

Gripping & a good twist

Likeable. Easy summer beach reading !

Really enjoyed this book. An easy read for summer & took me right back to late 70s / early 80s growing up in north of England

Such a helpful exploration of miscarriage

‘Pressure off’ is definitely a message I can get behind! Great, practical christian teaching which is applied to a range of personal, secular and church spaces - chapter by chapter. I appreciated the author’s honest voice in sharing parts of her own story. Also lots of discussion Qs to work through so you could use this in a small group/book club.

Some great insights from experts in holding space for and attempting greater understanding in conversations

Easy beach read !

Enjoyable read for tennis fans

A really sweet love story, set against a backdrop of working in the book industry

Loved this book - everyone should read it. Beautiful, challenging and hauntingly close to reality at some points too.

Insightful, interesting, and gave me much more insight into Royal life - but although I sympathise with Harry’s issues with the press, particularly following his mother’s death being chased by paps, I still don’t feel his recent behaviour is totally justified. It’s not his family’s fault, and it seems to me that he still wants to enjoy the many privileges of royal life/wealth/fame without the scrutiny.

While my theology isn’t fully aligned with the author’s, I do identify with elements of her deconstruction of faith following the experience of recurrent miscarriage - and this book raises some helpful fresh perspectives

Best book I’ve read in a while on relationships

Lovely heartwarming easy read

Practical, hope-filled & Bible-based, I highly recommend

Wonderful novel

An easy summer read - funny at points on family dynamics, but also insightful on mental health

Such a useful resource, full of wisdom & advice - I read it end to end, but in my opinion it would work better as a book to dip in and out of, as it’s so dense. But certainly it’s one I will return to again and again.

I have always loved Shauna’s writing, and this may just be her best and most honest work yet.

Lisa’s story is one of losing her husband very unexpectedly and suddenly, and having to learn how to navigate life as a grieving widow with seven littles.
