This was a really heartwarming and cute book set against the backdrop of Ireland. Conn, Chloe and Tessa all had there own back stories and important issues they were trying to overcome but they all came together and became great friends whilst helping to change the lives of others and fighting to keep the community centre open. Even though it was all a bit predictable it felt like a really cosy read and it was nice to like all of the characters and have the sense of community which reminded me of the Lido. Tessa was a great character who used the disappearance of her daughter to help drive her on and Conn used the tragic suicide of his brother to try prevent others doing the same even if he had to put his life on hold. Chloe finally got out of her controlling mother and started to thrive and be able to enjoy her life.
