This book could be better. The characters lack depth. Carl's for his age sure acts like a teenager. For a man who has been married before should have known better. The storyline great needed some humor or something to break up the monologues. The over descriptions also got to me. It just seems to be words filling the pages instead of adding onto the story. Natalie and Carl's relationship is a mismatch in a way that doesn't work. There's a certain chemistry that's missing.

We meet Natalie, newly married to Carl. She agrees to move from London to Kent to enable him to be closer to his two children. Just as they are about to begin house hunting Carl buys a run down cottage which comes as a complete shock to Natalie!

As they adjust to their new life Natalie realises that maybe everything isn’t exactly as she thought it would be. There’s also the added issue of Carl’s seemingly perfect ex wife Antonia now lives just a stones throw away. Can Natalie establish herself in a brand new village with Carl’s old life constantly over her shoulder?

Bittersweet and emotional but with a good dose of hope thrown in. This book surprised me. I thought I was going the way of a feel good romcom style story. It wasn’t but it certainly was different.. I do enjoy a story surprising me.

So this wasn't what I entirely was expecting to read! It was a little bland to me didn't really care too much for it! I'm was hoping for more of romantic vibe to it!
Honestly I got over half way through and put it to the side for now!
Maybe I'll come back to it at a later time!

This one was just meh. It was literally bland and middling. You could do better on here.

Really didn't like it.
Conversations were childish and so trivial.
Do not finish for me.
I liked the idea of the book but it's a shame it didn't live up to it.
