I loved Meet me at the lighthouse!!

It’s a lovely feel good read with the perfect characters and a lighthouse! It’s not everyday I read a book about a lighthouse!

I laughed throughout the book, with the antics Bobbi got up to really did remind me of Bridget Jones!

The book has two main characters – Bobbi and Ross, followed by a community of characters, all of whom are relevant to the story. You will come across the characters you can’t help but love and hate! What I loved about all the characters was how they all came together.

I whizzed right through this book, it was like I was watching a movie rather than reading, it played out vividly in my mind and I really felt like I was there, amongst all the characters and scenery.

Meet me at the lighthouse was my first book of Mary’s and certainly won’t be the last.

I loved her way with words, the characters and their personalities, the scenery etc…

This is a book I can really recommend to all fans of Bridget Jones, Carole Matthews and Trisha Ashley.

I enjoyed this book. Bobbie impulsively buys a lighthouse off her childhood crush Ross. But after a drunk night together they begin a quest to update the lighthouse and turn it into Ross's life long dream of a music facility for kids. They both divulge that they had crushes on each other as kids and start to pursue it as an adult, that is until Ross drops a bomb on her that makes her rethink what she is doing. Crazy ex's make an appearance, and family drama ensues. Can their attraction live on, or will their friendship, and the lighthouse, fall apart.

Overall my only complaints were it was a bit too long, and a little repetitive of the jealous boyfriend/girlfriend trope. But with that, it was cute and a quick and pleasant read! I'd rate it a 3.5 stars.

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher for the ARC in return for a review.

I liked it. Liked the characters and the banter. Liked that the MCs got together in the first part of the story.
