Rachel is step mum to Olivia and Dylan who have sadly lost both of their parents. She is originally from New Zealand and moved to Dublin to marry the love of her life, Lorcan. Lorcan sadly passed away leaving Rachel to be the only parent to Olivia and Dylan. However, he wanted Rachel to be their adoptive mum and be recognised by law as their mother. This causes a stir for the children’s paternal grandparents who want their daughter to be remember and for them to have shared custody of the children with Rachel.
This book is brilliant, and I cannot recommend it enough. The story flows so nicely and really reels you in to feel angry, sad, happy and it’s just beautifully written. It also taught me that I love drama, so long as I’m not involved. Family dramas might be my new favourite book to read. I just so wanted the best for Rachel and her children and the entire family. Even the characters you don’t like, you understand their point of view and want them to work it out.
A stand out book and I would recommend everyone reads it!
