“Quick Reads” books tend to be a bit hitty missy for me but ‘The Little Dreams of Lara Cliffe’ by Milly Johnson was a fun, entertaining and enjoyable read, so much so I’m tempted now to try more but this author after enjoying the style of writing.

Book Review // The Little Dreams of Lara Cliffe by Milly Johnson // ⭐️⭐️⭐️
What a short and sweet book. This is a quick read from The Reading Agency and is the first quick read I have read.
Lara Cliffe is the last in her friendship group to get married and is feeling quite unsure about marriage. She and her friends decide to go to Amsterdam for her hen do but on the ferry she spots a past lover she has to decide whether to choose her head or her heart. This short story shows how Lara learns that she deserves better in love.
I enjoyed the different characters characteristics and backstories. It was a cute story of friendship and self love. I think I struggle with short stories as I feel they need more and I want them to be longer so I know how the story continues. I think the setting was so interesting and was a great concept for a book just wanted a bit more from it.

I love short stories and this had such an important message behind it. I love Lara Cliffe and her group of friends. It’s a nice contemporary read and I felt with the short story I didn’t really have time to connect to the characters but I really enjoyed the story line and being so short I read it very quickly.

Nice short story thats easy to read. I didn’t think there was anything wrong with the story just think that i’m not the target audience. It’s not my type of story.

Lara Cliffe has had a rocky road to get to this week – her hen do on a cruise to amsterdam and back. Her love life has not been plain sailing (no pun intended), but she’s finally happy and more than ready to settle down.
But when, on the first night of the cruise, she comes face to face with the guy who broke her heart into pieces, and it seems like he might be truly sorry, what will Lara do? Was it fate that brought them back together?
I have to say, even though this was a short story (published as part of the Quick Reads series for World Book Day), it had a lot of ups and downs. Many times that I wanted to reach into the book, grab Lara by her shoulders and shake some sense into her.
I won’t go into the story any more, because being short, it would be really easy for me to give away major spoilers. But it was a delightful read, as per usual from Milly. For only £1, you can’t go wrong, and if you’ve never read a Milly Johnson book before, this is the perfect gateway into a world of loveliness.

Who the hell said dreams had to be big? It doesn’t matter what size your dream is, as long as it fits into that dream-sized hole in your heart.
