Oh my gosh, wow.  What an incredible first novel! I was instantly drawn in and couldn't stop reading even though it was 1am. 

The Weight of What Was is a beautiful story of love, loss, family and second chances. 

I loved Anna and Grace. They were clearly meant to be together, but the timing had to be right, it felt like it never would be though. Actually I loved all the characters, even Rupert! They made up such a wonderful, slightly dysfunctional family that I would happily be part of! 

The descriptions of their holiday were brilliant. I could really picture the locations, and I'm so jealous that they got to see the Northen Lights. 

I think this book is so well written, with humour, love and heartache all brilliantly interwoven into one fantastic storyline.
