This is the first book from MS Hamer that I have read and it won’t be the last, I thoroughly enjoyed this story and her way with words, the emotions that she brings to the surface of fabulous characters. It was fun and moving as we see three neighbours and friends sort through problems that are thrown their way, I do hope that you will pick this one up and get to know Alex, Beth and Cara as I did.
Alex is a lawyer, wife and mother to twins, her life is hectic, and Beth is married with two teenage children and a stay at home Mum and food nutritionist who is a little worried about her husband at the moment and then Cara is a single mum and food stylist who works hard to keep a roof over her and her daughter’s head, these three ladies are all very different but the best of friends and all of them have problems that are causing them much concern and then a new neighbour Charlie Devine and her daughter Talia arrives in Cuthbert Close and she and her daughter are going to put a cat among the pigeons so to speak.
With the arrival of Charlie in the middle of the annual street party, Alex, Beth and Cara do their best to make her feel welcome but Charlie is pushing them away this causes much discussion and thoughts of what to do, throw in their own personal problems about what to do with husbands and jobs and a place to live and life is moving in odd directions in the normal and happy Cuthbert Close.
I truly loved this story, I loved getting to know Alex, Beth and Cara and their families they are honest real life characters with real problems who were very easy to make friends with, I think Cuthbert Close would be a lovely place to live, there are so many laughs along the way as these ladies determine what to do with their futures but above all else even when things are thrown in their paths they remain fast friends and work through emotions and uncover the truth about their new neighbour. This is a page turner at its best one that I would highly recommend, thank you MS Hamer I loved it.
