Really enjoyed this part 1..these random acts of kindness are really nice to hear about. Its also nice to be on the receiving end of a random act of kindness

Great story, enjoyed reading this one as it pulled you in very well. I will now buy all of the stories together as I loved this first part!

Only a sample of the first three chapters but the author has created interesting characters and a positive theme of kindness which makes me want to read more! I look forward to the publication of this novel!

I really enjoyed reading the first part of this story and look forward to finding out what happens next in Littlewood. Thanks NetGalley!

I really liked this first part. An interesting books with interesting characters. Cannot wait to read the next part.
Many thanks to Simon and Schuster UK Fiction and Netgalley

I look forward to seeing how the story of each of the main characters in the story develp - Abbie who has lost her job and boyfriend, then her sister Louise who has moved to cope with heartbreak and finally Eszter, who has left her family to move with her daughter to look for her late husband's family in Littlewood and how the writer engages us through the magical board of Random Acts of Kindness in the coffee shop.Hope to read the rest very soon!

This was a set of the first four chapters of this book that I received through Netgalley.

In what promises to be a delightful and heart-warming read, this set of chapters introduces us to Abbie Morgan, a twenty-eight-year old Londoner heading to the small town of Littlewood where she is to live with her sister, Louise, having been made redundant and also broken off with her boyfriend. Pretty much as soon as she arrives there and enters the café where she is to meet Louise, she experiences an act of kindness―her lost bag is returned to her by complete strangers, something that takes her by surprise, for no one in London would have done such a thing. But with it, she is introduced to life in Littlewood where people look out for each other, are ever willing to lend a hand, extend random acts of kindness, and now that Abbey is part of Littlewood, and at the receiving end of kindness, she must continue the tradition and do her own bit of kindness for someone. Besides Abbey, other new arrivals at Littlewood, Ezther and her daughter Zoe, who have just come in from Budapest, and were in fact the ones who restored Abbey’s bag, also experience their own share of kindness. Everyone it seems, newcomer or resident, and irrespective of any personal troubles, is drawn in by its infectious atmosphere, and ready to do their act of kindness.

This was a really enjoyable and pleasant read for me. I loved the picture of life at Littlewood that one gets from these chapters―the pace may slower, and there may not be all that one gets in a metropolis, but the warmth and concern in its people and from them, in its atmosphere, makes life a much pleasanter prospect. One is just getting to know the characters and their backstories and the brief meeting was enough to get me interested in knowing what’s going to happen next, how things will turn out for each of them (since they each have personal troubles to work through, problems to face), and how the Littlewood atmosphere will work its magic on their lives. I’m definitely looking forward to the next instalment/s.

A simple act of kindness can change the course of anyone’s life, we met Abbie, Louise and Eszter, their stories intertwined by the start of kindness acts in the town of Littlewood. I found this part was over much sooner than I wanted it, the story gives enough little pieces to keep you enthralled and eager to learn about each character. It’s starting out to be the perfect heart warming, Sunday afternoon read that reminds you that kindness is everything.
