A book where each character has their own secrets sounds interesting. Great review.

This book sounds like something I would not be able to put down once I started reading it. I am a big fan of love triangles, and this definitely seems to be a book that has done justice to the story.

As I was reading the sample pages, I had decided that this was not a story for me. Then I read the review and it peaked my interest. I want to get to know some of the side characters as it sounds like they bring the story color. I usually like books about life choices so once again the review has peaked my interest into the main character. Also I am now wondering why she is almost forty and doesn’t have a career. I will be adding to my bookshelf for future reading pleasure. Thanks for a great review.

I am not personally a big romance reader, so I’ll pass on this one. Great review, though! :)

Fantastic review! I really enjoyed reading it and I can't wait to get the book. High Hopes sounds like a delightful book about regular people readers can relate to. We all have secrets that other people are privy to but are better left buried. Easy, enjoyable and relatable story.

Thank you for sharing your review with us. I thoroughly enjoyed the description of the garden and the secret private beach. The author certainly has a flair for making the reader fall in love with the characters as well as the setting.

A secret can create a lot of stress. Being free of its shackels may mean humiliation, jail time or even death. The choice is yours. A nice review. Brilliant narrative. Kudos.

This looks like a romance, but it sounds like it goes much further than that. Friendship, great supporting characters, family secrets and British intrigue. What else could you want? Great review.

"There are so many great stories and in the end, they all come together and form this fabulous story of living life with secrets but learning to live after the secrets have come out and the past is now the future." I loved this line of yours. You have written such a detailed review, summarising the book in a very interesting manner. It makes me want to read it, even though I'm not a fan of this genre. Thank you! I am going to read the book and find out what made you rate it 4 out of 4 stars.

I like that flashbacks where used in this book. It helps to give clarity and explain the reason behind certain occurrences in a book.
