She’s determined to shed a lot of pounds before the big day. As the wedding inches closer, will the new Debbie lose sight of what’s really important? Gill loves Mike and their blended family of five kids to bits, but with a house full of teenage hormones and her eldest, Kelly, struggling with so much change, Gill is feeling the pressure... As the women bond over cake and a cuppa, can they each resolve their wedding woes before the big day? An uplifting, warm-hearted read packed with love, laughter and friendship. If you’re a fan of Jill Mansell, Milly Johnson or Lucy Diamond you’re in for a real treat. ‘Yet another fantastic book by Sophie Hart, an author who is very fast becoming a firm favourite of mine. This is a warm-hearted, uplifting story…It is a fun and entertaining story, and very enjoyable and more-ish. I kept turning the pages and was disappointed when it ended as I was loving the various threads of the story.’ Rachel’s Random Reads ‘I loved how real the stories felt, how much I was pulled into caring about each of the characters in the novel. This was a fantastic read full of friendship, love, laughs, a few tears and a whole host of hope for the future. This is the first of Sophie's books I have read but it definitely won't be the last, she's a great voice in women's fiction and one I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who loves a heartwarming story.
