Making Memories at the Cornish Cove by Kim Nash #Review

  We are back with the Cornish Cove series with Kim Nash's Making Memories at the Cornish Cove . It was published by Boldwood Books on April 17th. You can read my review of  Hopeful Hearts at the Cornish Cove here and Finding Family at the Cornish Cove   here .    It’s never too late… After five husbands and five broken hearts, Lydia feels like she’s always been chasing something. But now she’s found her purpose, and having moved to Driftwood Bay to spend more time with her daughter Meredith, she’s happier than ever. But there’s still life in these old bones yet! With her newfound sense of identity, she’s keen to re-explore the things that made her happy as a younger person.

This Year Maybe by Liz Hinds #Review #Aliss'sAdventuresBook2

I am delighted to feature Liz Hind's romcom, This Year Maybe on the blog today. Last July, I enjoyed The Dog-Walking Club so much - you can read my review here. 

 
Alison and David have been engaged for so long that even Alison’s mother has given up asking when, but it’s second time around for both of them and they’re not in any particular hurry.

That said, Alison is beginning to wonder if living with her has put David off the idea of marriage so when he suggests they set a date she is delighted. But that date is six months’ away and a lot can happen in six months – especially if you’re Alison!

 

‘My son’s been arrested, Great-aunt Millie’s fallen in love, my best friend suspects her husband of having an affair, and I still need to lose weight. How on earth can I think about getting married?’


My Thoughts

 This is a thoroughly enjoyable read with some genuinely funny parts and a range of lively characters. Alison's characters is both likeable and relatable and her family do raise a smile. There are plenty of subplots concerning her friends and family and at one point, I was left wondering just what could happen next! Alison's life is certainly chaotic and unexpected. There are some real human touches and the relationship between Alison and her mother does take a surprising turn which shows you that sometimes, behaviour is rooted right back in the past.

    I particularly enjoyed the cameo characters who came into Alison's life. The vicar's pre-marriage course made me laugh and as for Great Aunt Millie - she is an absolute hoot! David's calm persona is a real contrast to Alison's complicated life and he seems to be just what she needs. This is the second in a series but it can be read as a standalone- I did. 

In short: The road to the altar is a bumpy one, indeed!
