Intrigued and disturbed, Justin is determined to find out who is sending them. What he discovers will change his life forever.
My View
As with all Cecelia's books this was a nice, easy cosy read buttttt ....
I found this a bit of a slog to read not as in it was hard to read I just didn't find it as enchanting as her other books. There are some really funny parts - when Joyce takes her dad to London and on his very first plane journey - and it was a nice storyline but, personally I didn't find the characters interesting enough and TBH was not really bothered what happened to them one way or the other!
As with all CA's books she touches on sensitive subjects - in this case miscarriage - in a really delicate way and Joyce IS a nice character don't get me wrong and I did feel for her in all the not so good things that happened to her but, in all honesty I was kind of glad when I got to the end.
Going by the other reviews it seems I may be alone but, this just did not hit the spot - perhaps I should stick to Fantasy!

I was a bit fan of Aherne - starting with PS - but I found A Place Called Here a real slog and now I'm not sure I want to read anymore of her books...
I've not read this one. Jess enjoyed it, but I've only ever read one CA book, which was 'Where Rainbows End' which I totally loved. I did try PS I love you, but haven't been able to finish it.
