Because of some past mistakes returning back wasn’t easy for Flora, however, it wasn’t as bad as she expected. 

            I fell in love with this book from the first page. I love how the author describes London, commuting, office life and Mure island with hardworking people, and amazing nature. I could easily imagine every part of the island and I could easily imagine me there. Author combines in the great way hard moments in one’s life with romance and goodness of the people. Book leaves feeling that whatever happens life is very beautiful and that beauty lies in simple things that we all can afford. It shows that life can be pretty unpredictable and in the same time magical. Also, book teaches us that we shouldn’t be afraid of feelings, but we should let feelings sometimes to lead us and that life is much easier when we are sincere to ourselves and to others. 

            During reading of this book, I felt like I am in some other world and I enjoyed every page of this book. I think that Jenny Colgan really knows how to transfer readers to the other worlds and make reading real joy. I recommend this book to everyone in search for great read. It will brighten up your days and remind you of magic called life.
