I could hear the author's voice all the way through this! I do like Sara Cox so that is no bad thing!
I like the trip back in time for the main character Josie when she revisits her childhood home. There are quite a few very believable and pretty eccentric characters involved and a lot of humour. However, I did feel it veered a bit too much into chicklit territory focusing on romance which was a bit cheesy at times. I enjoyed reading about Josie struggling but finding her feet in the countryside, and discovering the circumstances surrounding her father's death and her mother falling apart afterwards.
I would probably describe this as a cosy read, I did enjoy it.

Way Back by Sara Cox


Josie's life is fine. Absolutely, completely fine. Nice husband, brilliant best friend, a gorgeous kid at uni. The big house of her dreams on its leafy London street is a lifetime away from the Lancashire farm of her childhood. So what if her mother is tricky, and James isn't in love with Josie any more, and maybe she's not in love with him either? It's great to have time to herself now Chloe's flown the nest . . . isn't it?

We all hanker for a nice life don't we ?
But it seems that Josie's it's having it all , isn't all that she thought it would be and that includes her husband and ' perfect home '.

Loved the characters in the book and how Josie found her happy.

I love a good novel that explores the what if? And if you had a chance to go back what would you do differently? Way Back by Sara Cox seems to answer all those questions and more. I can’t wait to share my full thoughts and review on this one! I am absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to have an advance read on this one!
