It's a very simple story, there's no page turning mystery carrying you through the book, but it's so enjoyable because it's so simple. This book really does just take you into Nell's world with her as she attempts to start up her dream business whilst juggling family life, friends and finances.
Despite having no money Nell really does seem to have the perfect life; this being a wonderful daughter and a loving husband. Much like 'The Only Way Is Up' (a Carole Matthews favourite of mine) Carole is brilliant at reminding us that family and friends are the important things in life, and if you're lucky enough to have money too well then that's just a bonus.
This is a heartwarming story that is very easy to read. Perfect for holidays and sitting in the sunshine.
The back page blurb:
Nell McNamara has a happy life: her boyfriend Olly adores her, their four-year-old daughter Petal is the centre of their world and Nell has a steady job in the local chip shop. When the chippy needs a makeover, Nell jumps at the chance to unleash the creativity fizzing inside her. Inspired by what she can achieve – and encouraged by the best friends a girl can have – Nell is determined to try something new. Waving goodbye to the chip shop, she starts up a new business making her own line of must-have handbags, which are soon flying off the shelves! It seems Nell’s dreams are finally coming true, but her success doesn’t come without a price. Before too long, Nell has to ask herself if it’s really possible to have it all…
