How can you go wrong with a story including a pet sheep who thinks she’s a dog, lude political garden gnomes and a gang of match making octogenarians!

This book is laugh out loud funny, as well has heart wrenching. It follows Fliss who is trying, and failing, to make it in London in a property development company. Her lack of focus leads to her being sent on a mission to her home town, which is exactly where she has avoided going for 15 years!

I real will they/won’t they, feel good love story.

A beautiful, sweet book full of magic, romance and the power of a community brought together to save the strawberry patch and the 300 year old sycamore tree by the sea. I loved all of the characters in this book - not just Fee and Roy’s story but the wonderful residents of the retirement home, Fee’s Dad and her sister. A dream of a book to get lost in! The perfect summer read to enjoy with a bowl of strawberries and a pot of tea.

I received an advance copy of, The Wishing Tree Beside the Shore, by Jaimie Admans. This is a great summer read. Felicity and Ryan are great characters, the setting is beautiful, secrets are found out.

Just the book i needed to read, I really enjoyed reading this fun loving book.

The characters were amazing and the story was so heart warming and refreshing.

I adored the names of the Sheep and they made me laugh.

This is the kind of book you will pick up and think just one more chapter and before you know it you've devoured it.

A perfect summer read.

Aww this is delightful. Felicity is forced through work to visit her home town and gets embroiled in a local protest. Enter Ryan who is chained to a tree that the local residents love and recognise its significance to the identity of where they are from. Lots of minor characters add to the beauty of this. Living only a few miles away from where its set in Gower, South Wales, I definitely felt a sense of recognition about the place. Light, funny, and if nothing else has a wonderfully named pet sheep.

Jaimie Admans has done it again!!

A absolutely lovely light happy read from start to finish, the characters was all so loveable (apart from Harrison) and the storyline was so heart warming.

Jaimies imagination when writing is superb and the way she describes what's happening throughout the book I can honestly picture it like a movie... again another book I would read over again!

Well done Jaimie. Counting down the days to the next!

How is it possible that Jaimie just keeps getting better with each book. Our poor heroine, who I fell in love with after the first chapter is forced to return home and face the 'The one that got away', who it so happens, is chained to a tree. Honestly the things this author puts our poor characters through and the scenarios she comes up with is what makes her books special. Everyone imagines seeing their ex, and in their head they look fabulous, but for poor Felicity, standing in poop, surrounded by well meaning, if not slightly batty octogenarians, is not how she thought it would happen lol. Felicity and Ryan are wonderfully flawed characters and them alone would make this book fab, but what makes it outstanding are all the secondary characters. I'm not ashamed to say I snorted with laughter at the antics of some of them. Jaimie creates such wonderful characters that bury themselves into your heart. Even though at the heart of this book is the love story between Felicity and Ryan, it really is a story about family, friendship, determination, forgiveness with a sprinkle of crazy thrown in for good measure with a phenomenal ensemble cast
