Here is another great romcom from Maxine Morrey. Be Your Best Self was published by Boldwood Books on 18th July.
Willow asks the universe to find her The One, but will she
recognise him when he appears?
When Willow moved back to the village she grew up in for a
new start, she was ready for a new way of life too. Now happily settled in her
dream cottage with her beloved dog Spud, Willow enjoys the peace and sense of
community country living brings.
That is until her quiet is shattered by her new neighbour.
Sure brooding Henry Darcy, or Doctor Dishy as Willow’s best friend Abby calls
him, may be easy on the eye, but it doesn’t take long for the new neighbours to
discover that they don’t agree on anything.
Where Henry does science, Willow does nature. Where Henry
does minimalism, Willow does multicolour. When Willow asked the universe to
manifest her perfect man, either she wasn’t specific enough, or Henry isn’t it.
But when Willow tries again and a new man arrives in the
village, has fate got it right this time and delivered her The One, or does she
need to look closer to home…
‘Read yourself happy’ with Maxine Morrey’s latest comforting
and utterly uplifting love story. Perfect for fans of Mhairi McFarlane,
Catherine Walsh and Sophie Kinsella.
My Thoughts
This story of ‘will opposites attract?’ Is an enjoyable read. Willow is tuned in to the natural world. Henry Darcy is a firm believer in Science. Their cottages reflect their different personalities as do their gardens. Willow loves to mix an abundance of everything. Henry has gone for the minimal look. At first, whenever they meet, they seem to clash. This feels like a warm, uplifting read as their friendship develops.
You form a great picture of life in a close, caring community. Willow’s friends look out for her and you sense that Henry has a supportive family and that he cannot be as unapproachable as he first seems. Reports of his work as a doctor contradict any aloofness. As Willow attempts to manifest her ideal man, you cannot help but hope that she will recognise him when she sees him. What is there not to like in this gentle uplifting romance?
In short will the universe deliver?
About the Author
Maxine has wanted to be a writer for as long as she can
remember and wrote her first (very short) book about an elf for school when she
was ten and won a book token. Best. Prize. Ever.
As years went by, she continued to write, but 'normal' work
often got in the way. She has written articles on a variety of subjects, as
well as a local history book on Brighton. However, novels are her first love.
She is the best selling author of 'Things Are Looking Up',
'#NoFilter', and the Kindle UK top ten read, 'The Christmas Project' among
others.
When not wrangling with words, she loves to read, sew and
listen to podcasts. Being a fan of tea and cake means she can (should!) also be
found out on a walk.
