Publisher's summary
THE QUEEN OF FEEL-GOOD FICTION!
'Every time you discover a new Milly book, it’s like finding a pot of gold' Heat
The brand new novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Perfectly Imperfect Woman - a gorgeous read full of love, life and laughter.
Sophie Mayhew looks like she has the perfect life. Wife of rising political star John F Mayhew, a man who is one step away from the top job in the government, her glamour matches his looks, power, breeding and money. But John has made some stupid mistakes along the way, some of which are threatening to emerge. Still, all this can still be swept under the carpet as long as Sophie 'the trophy' plays her part in front of the cameras.
But the words that come out of Sophie’s mouth one morning on the doorstep of their country house are not the words the spin doctors put in there. Bursting out of the restrictive mould she has been in since birth, Sophie flees to a place that was special to her as a child, a small village on the coast where she intends to be alone.
But once there, she finds she becomes part of a community that warms her soul and makes her feel as if she is breathing properly for the first time. Sophie knows she won't be left in peace for long. Now she must decide: where does her real future lie?

Life is full of second chances, if only you keep your heart open for them. Spring Hill Square is a pretty sanctuary away from the bustle of everyday life. And at its centre is Leni Merryman's Teashop on the Corner, specialising in cake, bookish stationery and compassion. And for three people, all in need of a little TLC, it is somewhere to find a friend to lean on.

On her favorite day of the year, Elizabeth Davenport awakens in her cottage on the wild and windy Cornish coast, opens her front door, and discovers a precious gift: the small blue crocus and a note that begins "I Wish". The notes are never signed, but she knows they’ve been left by her first and truest love, Tom Hale. Each of these precious missives convey a simple wish for something they had missed, and the life they might have shared, if circumstances hadn't forced them apart all those years ago. She has kept them all.

Beach read enjoyment
Light and bright, even the darkest moments barely rippled the upbeat mood. While I could certainly relate to many of emotional aspects of Sophie’s journey, they felt trivialized in the hands of this writer.

Captivating
This is the kind of book you think about when you’re not reading it. It makes me long for those lovely Yorkshire villages and people. While the story can be a bit predictable, the way it comes together is absolutely delightful. You can’t help but cheer Sophie on and hope she finds the bravery she’d almost forgotten. I wish there was more!

I enjoyed this audio book
The antagonists were a bit “one note” and a little too easy to hate, and the story was predictable, but I really did like it in spite of these shortcomings. I’m also a sucker for British narration. I was looking for something light and entertaining, and this did not disappoint.

Yea, Sophie!
Loved this easy story about Sophie figuring herself out! I was looking for something to just enjoy and not have to think too much about, and this was it…it went by quickly, reader was great, and it ended the right way. Good way to start the summer!
