The latest book in the Cornish country hospital series gives the same greys anatomy vibes you feel through the other books.
Lessons in Love at the Cornish Country Hospital was charming, funny, emotional and a fantastic read. I have not read any of the others in this series but found it held up well as a standalone (although i'm now itching to go back and read the others).
Filled with wonderful characters, some pretty heavy themes and lots and lots of love - I adored the country setting and the side of medical drama. I thought it was well written, and although sad at times, it was a very heartwarming read. 4 stars.
Read and reviewed in exchange for a free copy from NetGalley. I love this series and was delighted to see the ARC of Bartlett's latest instalment just weeks after finishing the last one. I blitzed through it in hours. As ever, this was an enjoyable read written with both humour and heart. I enjoyed seeing Danni again and thought Wendy's story was interesting, and as ever, I loved the cameos from characters in the Cornish Midwives series. Although I felt certain issues were glossed over and not explored as much as they could have been, I still enjoyed the book a lot.
Another installment in this series and it was nice to revisit some old characters and learn more about others. There are some heavy hitting topics which did become a little extreme and far fetched towards the end but still really enjoyable.
This is the fourth book in The cornish country hospital series.
A return to old charectors and some new ones.
Wendy's ex husband has traided her in for a younger model thats only a few year older than there oldest daughter and is pregnant .
Wendy works at St Pirans hospital and bumps into Chloe her exs new partner and clearly shes upset.
Her daughters love to spend time more with chloe than with her and when one of them finds her in pain the first person they go to is there mum.
Just as good as the other books in this series.
Even brought a tear to my eye how the story evolves and how fragile peoples lives can be.
Another in this series. Although still enjoyable, this one felt a bit fat fetched even for me. But, I still found the latest installment worth it.
The latest installment from Jo Bartlett is here! Lessons in Love at the Cornish Country Hospital was a great read, just as I expected.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance reader copy of this book. I want to state up front that I DNFed 11% of the way through after realizing it contained subject matter I'm particularly sensitive too.
What I did read of of this book really built a foundation of motherhood and love. It established 2 POV characters in stable relationship, though with a lot of instability in their pasts, and I can see these pieces all coming together in a heartfelt story.
Danni who is pregnant with her first child but dealing with maternal let down in her past. Wendy - whose ex's new partner, Chloe, is pregnant - is dealing with her emotions around that, and Chloe's relationship with Wendy's own children.
The writing is excellent if not a little summary heavy at the start, but that makes sense for a book in an established series

Absolutely loved it. Back with old and new characters . It was well written and I did read it in one sitting. Gosh you felt for Chloe. Sometimes you got cross with Wendy for not appreciating what she had. You can read alone. but better to have read the rest. I loved the A and E staff. A sad read at times but Jo Bartlett is a great writer and covers delicate subjects well. Read it.
