Today I am excited to share with you my review of this brilliant and fun read from Maxine Morrey. Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources for inviting me to be part of this Publication Day Push and for my copy of this book in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Book Description
Home is where the heart is…
Holly doesn’t have time for a holiday this year. But when her job threatens to send her over the brink, her boss insists she take a sabbatical. So she packs her bags and escapes to her beloved grandmother Gigi’s house on Wishington Bay, which has sat empty since Gigi passed away.
But Holly’s dreams of a coastal escape take an unexpected turn. Holly didn’t expect to spend time with any man this summer – let alone an Aussie Adonis…but when she meets her next door neighbour Gabe and his little dog Bryan, it’s clear her quiet summer of strolling along the sand and wandering through the seaside village’s tiny streets on her own will come with a hefty dose of distraction.
With a summer to fill and Gigi’s wonderful and surprising house to sort through, Holly knew it would be a summer packed with old memories. She just didn’t expect to make so many new ones…
Coming Home to Wishington Bay is the new gorgeous uplifting rom-com from Maxine Morrey, perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan and Tilly Tennant!
My Review
This is a fantastic fun read read that I knew I would love after reading just the first chapter which really made me laugh out loud and I was hooked in until the very last page.
Holly has be forced by her boss to take a sabbatical after health problems strike her at work. Reluctantly Holly agrees and decides to head to the cottage of her late grandmother, Gigi, on Washington Bay for the Summer. Her plan is to stay there and get the house up together ready to sell as she feels after the break she will be heading back to work and her life in London will return to normal. Little does she realise just how much she is going to enjoy her stay. She finds the time to wander into the village and enjoy spending time in the pretty seaside village.
What Holly doesn't expect is for the village and the people in it to have such an impact on her life while she is there especially the handsome next door neighbour, Gabe, and his loveable dog Bryan. What follows is the summer that Holly has in Wishington Bay and at the end of her break will she still want to return to London and her Job.
I loved this fun rom com from start to finish it is written so well and is highly addictive. Holly is a great character to read. She is probably like most of us where our jobs have taken over our lives. With Holly she uses work as a major distraction from her personal life, or lack of personal life. It's great to see her relax more as she stays in Wishington Bay and really start to let more people into her life. The more she lets people in the more fulfilling her life with feel. Its also great to see her building more of a relationship with her brother, Ned.
The setting in Wishington Bay sounds devine and the perfect place to get away to and relax.
This is the latest release from Maxine Morrey and I am really looking forward to reading what she writes next.
