The explanation of the beach in this book makes me want to be there. At some points I was so engrossed in the book that I felt like I was there.

The switching between past and present was a bit hard to keep up with at the beginning but I soon got used to it.

I couldn't believe the nerve of one character, I don't want to give it away but those who have read this will know who I mean.

I was so shocked when one thing happened in this book which lead a path for other situations in this book.

I loved the outcome of this story. I love romance novels and this has romance with a bit of heartache included. Life isn't a fairytale and I like how this book doesn't pretend it is.

I've never read a book like this. It was only 100 pages, but was a really fun read!

For such a small book it certainly packed a punch. Twists and turns and plots aplenty. This is one of the quick read series, smaller books ideal for a train journey or for those who might struggle with a longer book. For Tessa, losing her fiancé the day of her wedding has haunted her whole life. Back on that same beach where she was supposed to have been married ghosts of the past come back to haunt her, and her daughter. Fab little quick read.
