it is these simple moments that matter at the end of the day. I was seriously so invested and felt my heart being pulled to these fictional characters.

“Man is by nature a social animal” – Aristotle. I loved this book to pieces and I can't recommend The Lido enough. We want to be in the company of friends or family and share our lives with them.

"It is raining smiles. Hence begins Kate’s campaign to ‘save the lido’ and thereby preserve the soul of this small close knit community.

It's magnificent! She takes you through a rainbow of emotions, creating an overwhelming feeling of warmth and positivity despite the loneliness and sadness that runs through the story. Incredible. Kate finds a passion for swimming and a deep hunger for saving the Lido for the town, for Rosemary, and even for herself.
