I must firstly apologise for the amount of time it has taken me to provide a review of this book, my health was rather bad for quite some time, something that had me in hospital on numerous occasions and simply didnt leave me with the time I once had to do what I love most.

Unfortunately that does mean I have missed the archive date for many of these books, so It would feel unjust throwing any review together without being able to pay attention to each novel properly.

However, I am now back to reading as before and look forward to sharing my honest reviews as always going forward. I thank you f0r the patience and understanding throughout x

MILLER STREET SW22 is a heartfelt, entertaining read about community and neighbors coming together to overcome challenges. The story and writing reminded me a bit of Maeve Binchy, with a bit less emotional heft. I would recommend this story to fans of Binchy or other community based stories of struggle and perseverance. It was not my favorite novel of late, but still an enjoyable and pleasant read.

I kindly received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. The author of this book brings to mind the great writers Maeve Binchy, Marcia Willet and Rosamund Pilcher. This type of story is reminiscent of their style although I fear that the writing is not as entertaining or emotionally felt. If you like those types of novels, stories of neighbors and community, I would recommend this book to you. It is the story of people and it is always uplifting when you read about struggles that are faced and challenges that are overcome as a community pulls together.

Miller street is a wholesome, enchanting read about the residents of a converted house that has been made into four apartments,five new residents all move in at the same time,one couple Sam and Lydia, a young girl, a recently widowed lady and a fierce domineering character! All very different and only linked by living in the same place. They all bring with them baggage, history, and life events but over the course of a year galvanised by the domineering Frances they come together to organise a street party snd in doing so become friends, make amends and start living again! Miller street reminded me very much of the road I live in where we have a great sense of community and friendship making it a great place to live!
Thank you net galley for this early read.

Loved this book! Told from the viewpoint of various Miller Street residents (and a few others) over a period of a year,, this book tells the story of the new residents of Miller Street SW22 in London. The only things they have in common are living in the same house which has been converted to flats, secrets from the past, and a desire for a fresh start. Set around the centenary of the street, from planning to the actual event, the stories of each character unfold.

What a lovely read!
Set over the course of a year, four neighbours move into Miller Street eager for a new start. Each of them has a past of loss, grief, secrets and sense of guilt.
During the year secrets are revealed and new beginnings take place, each one their own, but somewhat interlinked.
The writing is extremely good, the characters are relatable and well-drawn. The story is engaging and the book very hard to put down.
Highly recommended!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I loved the street where I lived as a child. You knew everyone in the terrace & everyone was friendly, helping each other out. Nowadays sadly this isn't always the case šŸ”

I absolutely loved this book, it was beautifully written, the characters became like old friends & you could visualise yourself living among them. The camaraderie of those living in such close quarters was heartwarming & reminded me of childhood families & friendships.

Set over the course of a year, five neighbours move into Miller Street each wanting their new start. Although cautious at first, they soon become close friends & this is their story of new beginnings, friendship, lies & regrets.

Many thanks to Netgalley for my ARC in return for my honest review.

This is a good book, it follows the lives of five neighbors, all completely different. How well do you really know your neighbor, or what they are going through.
