Oh, I loved being back with the girls and so much is happening. Despite guessing some of the twists and turns, I loved my adventures with them and I am so jealous of the cruise!!!! It is something I have always wanted to go on, and I felt like I was with the girls, traveling around.
These girls are amazing and what a support system!! Something everyone needs!! It’s funny how your system changes as you get older but these girls are there for each other no matter and I loved that. I want more stories with them, I want to know what is going on now. I feel there is much more to come from them and the new additions. Plus Pom Jam!! I want to go!
This book just makes me mushy and it makes me smile and yes I may have cried at one point. It makes me want to message my friends and tell them it will be ok. It is such a feel-good story and one, despite tackling more sensitive subjects, is good fun to read!
Every book I have read of Nina’s I have enjoyed so much. She is so versatile it’s unreal and I can’t wait to catch up with more. I would just love another book in this series. The way these women are written, it feels as if they are my friends down the road. I feel included in the book, I feel seen and I feel as though I have a new group of friends. I just want more!
Until the next time xxx
