It is Christmas Eve and I had a lot still to do, but there was no way I was putting this book down till I got to the end, this is a compelling story about three friends who grew up together on the beautiful Lord Howe Island and how their friendship was torn apart, can it be saved? I hope you pick this one up and get to know Sarah, Floss and Jules.
An idyllic lifestyle growing up on the island, friends forever, they each knew what they wanted as they grew up, but not all got what they wanted, betrayal and jealousy tore them apart, Floss and Jules stayed on the island but Sarah moved away and now years later Sarah has returned to help her mother and father run the local store, but this will bring her in contact with her two ex-friends and open up old wounds.
Floss married her longtime boyfriend and now has five children she works hard, but things are not going so well in her marriage and she needs someone to talk to can she reconnect and talk to either Jules or even Sarah now that she is back on the island?
Jules would love to put the past behind her but a daughter she loves makes it hard to forget what happened but when she has a medical problem that is life changing Jules is determined to do what she can to put things straight.
Can true friends forgive and forget and put the past behind them, well you need to come on this journey and find out, MS Morey has written a very moving and heart-wrenching story about everyday people she has discussed medical issues, infertility and family life and pulled them together into a story that had me crying and feeling lots of different emotions and yes there are smiles as well. I felt so much for Sarah what she went through and Floss ever so caring but feeling very vulnerable at times and the guilt that Jules carried would have been so hard, an amazing story that was very hard to put down, I do highly recommend this one, I loved it Bravo MS Morey it is fabulous.
