This was a cosy read by the wonderful Jenny Colgan. Likeable characters, a lovely backdrop in the Scottish Highlands, and a good storyline. It was a wee bit predictable, but I loved the plot, and the puppies of course!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the advance copy.

💬 My Bookish Thoughts
Jenny Colgan is one of my favourite authors, and her books are my go-to comfort reads — the ones I return to time and again.
And once again, I’ve fallen in love. How do you manage it, Jenny, every single time?
This story is full of heart — parent-child relationships, rebuilding after life’s curveballs, restoring seaside properties, and rediscovering your childhood community. Oh, and there's a fabulous bit of unexpected spice too (go, Jenny!).
As a hearing aid wearer, I really appreciated the care and research Jenny clearly put into portraying hearing impairments. I adored Janey — such a warm, caring audiologist — and the relationships between Janey, Lowell, and his daughter Verity were just gorgeous. Essie and Verity’s connection was equally heartwarming and hopeful.
Felicity and her puppies were a joyful addition, adding even more warmth and fun.
This book was exactly what I needed. It completely distracted and uplifted me during a week of uncomfortable and exhausting perimenopausal symptoms. Jenny’s trademark wit, her compelling storyline, and her cast of loveable characters immersed me in their vibrant seaside world.
Another Colgan gem earns its place in my Comfort Reads Wellbeing Toolkit, and I can absolutely see myself reading it again. If you need a book to take you away from life’s stresses and wrap you up in joy, this one’s for you!
🙏🏼 Huge thanks to @netgalley, @hodderstoughton, and @jennycolganbooks for the gifted digital copy in exchange for my honest review.
