There is also a great Giveaway- details on how to enter are at the foot of this post.
Everyone’s got a secret wish in Little Pondale this summer.
Mia’s been exceptionally lucky since moving to Lily Pond
Lane. But even on her honeymoon with the man of her dreams, she still has one
remaining wish.
Ella wishes Gill would propose. But since Mia’s wedding
something’s changed in their relationship. Now he’s spending time with
newcomer, Tabbie Talbaine, Ella wishes Tabbie will leave as quickly as she
arrived.
Tabbie wishes she hadn’t driven her car into a pond. But it
could be the best thing that’s ever happened to her. When she discovers
Hollywood heartthrob, Justin Lake’s staying in the village, getting an
interview for her popular blog isn’t her only wish.
Bree was told she couldn't have a baby. Now she’s expecting
twins and is simply wishing it all goes well.
And as for Hettie ... she wishes she could get her hands on
an old map of the village. Because there’s something hidden in Little Pondale
that Hettie Turner really wants to find.
My Thoughts
As before, Emily Harvale manages to blend new characters into the village with all the familiar ones we have got to know. It has been a great series and even manages to end with a hint as to what the future holds for Mia and Jet, after a return to the fortune telling of earlier stories. Little Pondale has always had a magical quality about it as a place and so it proves in this final instalment.
Another quality of the stories has always been that you get to see some of the characters' insecurities and flaws. Relationships are not taken for granted and develop naturally. This has been a lovely series, so easy to read and full of light-hearted moments. You could read it as a standalone but of course, it is so much better to catch up on all its predecessors to see the whole Lily Pond journey.
In short: A final flourish for this lovely romantic series.
