The Perfectly Imperfect Woman

The Perfectly Imperfect Woman - Milly Johnson

Marnie Salt has made so many mistakes in her life that she fears she will never get on the right track. But when she ‘meets’ an old lady on a baking chatroom and begins confiding in her, little does she know how her life will change.

Arranging to see each other for lunch, Marnie finds discovers that Lilian is every bit as mad and delightful as she’d hoped – and that she owns a whole village in the Yorkshire Dales, which has been passed down through generations. And when Marnie needs a refuge after a crisis, she ups sticks and heads for Wychwell – a temporary measure, so she thinks.

But soon Marnie finds that Wychwell has claimed her as its own and she is duty bound not to leave. Even if what she has to do makes her as unpopular as a force 12 gale in a confetti factory! But everyone has imperfections, as Marnie comes to realise, and that is not such a bad thing – after all, your flaws are perfect for the heart that is meant to love you.

I do love a Milly Johnson, she never disappoints, and this new book is not a disappointment. Devoured this book in a few days.

The characters in this book are well presented and well thought out. I loved everything about this book, from the ups to the downs. Marnie is a great character and this is only edged on by Lilian. How Milly comes up with great characters who bounce off each other I have no idea. The location of Wychwell reminded me of a village on the outskirts of Oxford and could Imagine all this happening, this is a sign on a good writer. I really enjoyed the names of the cottages and everything that went with it. This story makes you think you have the ending when actually you don’t. It keeps you guessing until the end.

Fantastic story. Milly is at her best.

The Slow Lane Walkers Club - Rosa Temple

Buy Here This is my first book by Rosa Temple and it won't be my last. I was a bit unsure when I started it. However I loved it. Its not often I finish a book and end up hugging it because I loved it so much. The characters were great, Hazel is amazing. She reminds me of an old family friend who never gives up no matter what. Daniel is a kind lad who I think is slightly misunderstood when he arrives back in Cornwall. Their relationship is fantastic, one you can only dream about having with your grandmas friend. This book is one big giant hug and it's exactly what I needed at the time of reading. Once you start you dont want to stop. Best book of the year so far!

Mimic - Daniel Cole

Buy Here Having previously read Daniel coles books I was looking forward to this stand alone novel. It packs a punch right from the word go and it doesn't let up throughout the book. So many murders and so many what ifs.... And what an earths?! I liked Chambers and Winter as detectives and their relationship that they had. They never lost charm even if there was a 7 year break in the book for them. They picked up exactly where they left off. The book was very clever in the way that the murders took part. It was all a work if art. And don't worry if you are like me and aren't sure what they are there are paintings in the book to help you incase you cannot visual it. Great read.

Rock Paper Scissors - Alice Feeney

Buy Here This has to be one of the best books that I have read in a while. It really does have that, just one more chapter feel to it. I don't want to say too much as it will spoilt it and the blurb speaks for itself. I liked the characters in this book and it really does get you thinking. I actually had an 'omg what?!' moment with this book.. I had to go back an rethink everything I had read up until that point. If i had start this during the day I'm sure I would have finished it in one too. Really great read and cannot wait to read morw by this author.
