Stepping Up by Sarah Turner
5.0
Oh wow, I genuinely loved this story. Everything about it was just fantastic. The premise, the characters, the journey they take, the smiles, the tears. Just a beautiful story all around.
Beth begins the story as a bit of a mess, a lovely girl who is unable to look after herself let alone other people so when she is thrust into becoming the guardian for her niece and nephew she understandably struggles. However as the title suggests she steps up and despite making (quite a few) mistakes along the way she learns so much about herself. I loved her personality, the banter and wit she had. Despite the situation being anything but funny. I warmed to her so much.
The other characters were amazing too, I LOVED Albert, what a great friendship they had. The torment Polly felt, the innocence of Ted. I admit I got very cross with her mum at times and wanted to have a strong word with her!! I loved the relationship with Jory but I also appreciated that it wasn't the main storyline. There were so many more important parts of Beth's life that were addressed in the book.
Thankyou Sarah Turner for writing such a gorgeous book which had me laughing and crying in equal measure.
