Foxglove Farm by Christie Barlow
5.0

After reading the first in the series, ‘Love Heart Lane’ I was very eager to read ‘Foxglove Farm’. I certainly wasn’t disappointed.

We met Isla and Drew briefly in the first book however this book is centered on these characters and their family. We are also reunited with characters from ‘Love Heart Lane’ such as Felicity and Fergus. It was amazing to take a trip back to Heartcross to witness their incredible community spirit.

Isla and Drew are met with various challenges on Foxglove Farm such as financial difficulties and struggling through a rough patch in their marriage. Without going into too many specifics of the plot, Christie writes realistically and sensitively about mental health. I really commend her on writing about this subject as it is still surrounded by so much stigma.

My favourite character in this book has to be Isla as she is determined to help fix things with the farm even if that means getting her hands dirty. She also wants to try everything possible to fix her marriage. After all I personally believe love is something worth fighting for! I also love little Finn and Angus, Finn had me laughing out loud towards the end of the story. All of the characters are great as they stick together no matter what happens, once again the Heartcross community spirit shines through the pages ❤

There was plenty of drama packed into this story which had me permanently on my toes. So many twists and turns I was totally not expecting. I don’t want to spoil these events however you should definitely find out for yourself!

‘Foxglove Farm’ is about love, family, community and most of all just sticking together no matter what life throws at you 🙂 I can not wait for the next instalment of the series. I give ‘Foxglove Farm’ a very deserving 5*/5*!
