Sounds like an interesting book with a lot of vividly drawn characters. I also like the theme of coming to terms with the past as you’re getting older and have to make changes. I may give this one a read. Thanks for the review, batkinson

The book sounds interesting. Romance stories are generally not my type but it would add a bit of thrill. Thanks for recommending this book.

I liked that there were so many lives intertwined. I hope friendships remained intact after the secrets were revealed. Thanks for a lovely review!

Doubts and secrets are common woes in relationships. Thank you for the review.

I love it when authors give supporting characters the substance and development they deserve. What I love more is a book that will keep me reading all the way into the night! I'm tempted to try this one out. Superb review!

An adult romantic novel about love that also encompasses trust in friendship, marriage, and relationships in general. In short, it focuses on aspects of common life and that several of them can be similar to the things that happen in your own life. It seems a good option.

This book sounds like something that is different from the typical romance novel that is featured on this forum. I like that the setting is in England which has a different set of customs and societal expectations than in America. I also like that there are multiple characters in the story that each have their own story lines and secrets.

I don't really feel this is a genre of book I would enjoy. Sounds a lot like a soap opera. But I am glad to hear it is well written. I am sure fans of romance will enjoy it.

Thanks for the review, it sounds as if this book will make one rethink your own life as the story progress. I love it when a book challenges the reader to think deeper and re-evaluate your own decisions and actions.

I'm not a big fan of romance novels, but this one sounds like it could be worth reading. It's interesting that it only takes place over a week. I also like that you said the supporting characters added a lot to the story. Thanks for a great review! Your love of the book was very apparent!

Speaking your mind, following your dreams, maintaining friendships, and withholding secrets! Sounds like quite the tale with an interesting premise - only covering a weeklong span but providing plenty of flashbacks. Thanks for your honest insight!

I love the every aspects of is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "High Hopes" by Sue Lilley. The secret she keeps so much to her heart might either be her freedom or her undoing.

Fully fleshing out side characters to make them so memorable is unusual and a testament to the author's skill. The plot sounds complex but yet as simple as a love triangle gone wonky. I loved reading your review and the way you noted each point. Thanks!
