Second Chances at Hollyhock Farm by Georgina Troy
3.0
A cute story of second chances at love for Zac and Melody set in idyllic Jersey at Hollyhock Farm. Georgina Troy beautifully describes the landscape and historical sites of the area, even down to the colorful hollyhocks which lend their name to the farm. At the beginning it was a bit repetitious with Melody and Patsy frequently saying a version of " we are here to help however you need" but got much better as they story evolved.
Both Zac and Melody experienced very different "bad breakups" and neither is looking to date, let alone fall in love. Aside from the story line of their budding relationship, Zac's sister Lettie needs to find additional money to cover repairs to one of their barns that the insurance will not cover. Together, Melody and Lettie plan a holistic "wellness festival" at the farm which I found to be one of the best story lines of the book.
Note: there are several instances of both emotional and physical abuse, but the author deals with both very well.
Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advance copy in return for my honest review.
