I loved the 1960's setting, I loved the characters, I loved the whole book! I really enjoyed the format of switching between the current day for Evie and the flashbacks to the past where we found out more about her Mother, it just flowed so well and I thought it all came together seamlessly well.

Evie has a big heart, and she leaves a positive impression on those around her. In between each chapter there are little interludes of Arthur and Diana's life and I absolutely loved the way this 'past' storyline was set out. She lives on a small farm in Yorkshire with her dad, Arthur, and Christine, the gold-digging housekeeper. ππ±ππ’πππ.

β-The story of Diana's life, and death, are revealed slowly through the book, and Matson utilises structure well in exposing the truth of what happened. -The storyline between Evie's neighbour, Mrs Scott-Pym, and her daughter Caroline, was also told skillfully and tactfully. Itβs all about having the courage to embrace lifeβs opportunities, and having a great time doing just that.

-ππ§π ππ‘ππ«π π’π π’π¬. Oh I have my fingers crossed that this is the start of a new series starring 16 year old, tall as a tree Yorkshire lass, Evie Epworth. Evie is a strong, quirky and one of a kind characters who was a pleasure to read.
