Got my first official book reviewer rating from Karen at BookSprout!

"This is not the type of book that I usually read, but the author's blurb caught my attention. And she's gained a fan.
I can't say too much about the story without giving away the plot. The book is amazing, scary, disturbing. Remember, true friends never give up on you. "

Thanks Karen, you've made my week!

Pilgrimage to the best second hand bookshop in the UK!

Thrilled to see the latest book from the hugely talented Emma Cooper land in my e-library today. So proud to have benefited from Emma's magical mentoring skills!!

**ONE DAY TO GO!!!** As you can see, I'm a liiiiiittle bit excited about the ebook and audio release tomorrow!!

It Was Always You begins on the night the clocks go back in 1999. It's filled with noughties nostalgia, and three characters who occupied my thoughts and heart for a year.

My books are always character led and this one in no exception, but I have to say, I don't think I've ever felt as big of a connection as I have for these three.

Ella - my leading lady who never quite feels good enough; Will - gorgeous but haunted by his brother's death and Cole ... beautiful mischievous and damaged Cole.

I can’t wait for you to follow Ella’s story, who may have the chance to go back and talk to her teenage self.

If YOU could say to something to your teenage self what would YOU say?

Definitely feel good Thursday as copy of Jack Jordan’s exciting new hardback Do No Harm just landed and I’ve signed up with The Novelry to inspire a summer of writing 😄😄😄 📚
