Somewhere to review books I'm reading without giving away any spoilers!

Fantastic, emotional read – It Had To Be You by Beth Moran

My Review:

This is such a moving, emotive read,
A beautiful story, just what I need.
It brought back memories of my childhood, too,
As my parents fostered children like those in this story do.

However, we never had teens like Jonah come to stay,
And my Mum never had a breakdown and ran away.
The family dynamics for the characters is full of stress,
And for Libby it initially isn’t getting any less!

With folks needing guidance and Libby needing to stop,
There’s drama a-plenty throughout this plot.
Families, friendships, babies and romance
Make this a great read, I hope you’ll give it a chance!

I really enjoyed escaping into this book
And hope you’ll give it much more than a look.
For my copy of this book I say thank you
As I share with you this, my honest review.

Synopsis:

Growing up, sisters Libby and Nicky never knew who they’d find at breakfast.

Their parents fostered children of all ages, and although the girls loved playing their part in providing a safe haven, it meant that life was rarely peaceful.

Now as a single mother of two, Libby’s life is still anything but peaceful. In her work as an antenatal coach, as well as for the charity she and Nicky run for teenage mothers, Libby uses all the skills she learnt growing up surrounded by children. Her days are full, caring for her family, the mothers-to-be and the latest strays she has welcomed into her home. But in the dark of the lonely nights, Libby worries she’s falling apart at the seams.

One troubled boy and a reckless decision she made thirteen years ago still haunts her.

Two hearts that were broken, still not mended.

The time has come for Libby to look out for herself. As her family, friends and her community have known forever, Libby is one of a kind, and if she can just learn to love herself, she may be able to welcome back the love she let slip through her fingers.

Uplifting, heart-warming and irresistibly good for the soul, it’s impossible not to fall in love with a Beth Moran story. Perfect for all fans of Jill Mansell, Julie Houston, and Jenny Colgan.
