Cally, a devoted single mum, is stretched thin between caring for her clingy mother and her day job as a hairdresser with an always sympathetic ear. When her life in Liverpool is suddenly upended, she grabs her son Sam and jumps in the car to drive south. Searching for a tiny speck of a village she once visited as a child, they nearly give up when a storm hits, only to unexpectedly stumble across it: Welcome to Starshine Cove.

Amidst the welcoming – if slightly mad – locals, Cally finds some unexpected new friendships. But as the year draws to a close, she faces a tough decision: she and Sam can’t stay here forever, and the future looks a lot less jolly back home…

A funny, sweet and cosy read that will have you laughing, crying and everything in between. Perfect for fans of Jenny Colgan, Milly Johnson and Heidi Swain.
