There was something so warming and lovely about Graceland, I found myself smiling through so much of it. It's a story about family, the secrets we keep from our loved ones and how they can ultimately end up either making or breaking relationships.

I empathised with Hope a lot. Yes she had keep lots of secrets from her mother, her daughter and basically everyone in her life, but I didn't think that any of it was out of malice or deceit. She did what she did in order to protect those that she loved, but as well know, secrets have a way of catching up with people, and those secrets were hunting her down all the way to Graceland.

There were parts of this story that made me feel quite emotional, parts that made me laugh and a lot of it that made me feel endeared to all of the characters at one point or another. This was quite an easy read and definitely one that was binge worthy. Would recommend for a laid back, weekend read.

Thank you so much to @instabooktours and @ncrochiere for having me along for this tour! I was sent this lovely book in exchange for a honest review and tour spot

In Graceland we’re following Olivia as she decides to visit Elvis’ home one last time before her inevitable end. She has a plan though….and when her daughter refuses to take her to Memphis due to a secret she’s buried for 18 years; Olivia enlists the help of her 16 year old granddaughter with the ruse of meeting her father for the first time.

A road trip ensues scattered with revealed secrets, hospital visits, unexpected events and two mother and daughters coming together and getting past the elephants in the room.

As someone who was brought up in a household surrounded by Elvis songs, films and background I loved my experience reading this book. It was a wonderful read and felt like an untold Elvis and mistress story

If you want to pick this up then it’s out now!! £1.99 on kindle or £10.11 for a physical copy (mine was super floppy which made my day when it arrived!)
