Take Mum Out by Fiona Gibson

4 Star

“What do you need a boyfriend for? You’re a mum.”

Fiona Gibson returns with a laugh-out-loud read, sharply observed and full of dating disasters.

Three blind dates
Two teenage boys messing up her plans
And one man who'll melt Alice's heart.

'You need to get back in the saddle…' Alice despises that phrase. She's fine being single – with two slothful teenage boys and a meringue business to run, she has enough on her plate without negotiating the troublesome world of modern dating.

However, Alice's three best friends have other ideas. Each one will present her with an utterly delicious, eligible man – all Alice has to do is pick her favourite.


Kathryn - 4 Star

Take Mum Out is a funny novel about a single mum who has been persuaded by her friends that it's time she gets out and starts dating again. Trouble is that she's not all that keen on "getting back in the saddle " and only agrees to being set up to get them to give the whole notion a rest. Of course her friends are lovely and have the best intentions but none of it really amounts to a successful dating situation- funny for us, not always so funny for Alice!

I generally like Fiona Gibson’s novels because she tends to write things that are amusing without being too sappy and brings in female characters that have universal appeal. Sometimes I get the impression that she doesn’t want us to take ourselves too seriously and provides a lightness and fun that is simple enjoyment. At the same time her stories are realistic and heart-warming.

I really enjoyed the role of the boys in Take Mum Out. The teenage son played a unique role though because his growing up actually gave Alice a different way of looking at herself. Though she didn't feel she needed to start dating-the fact that she has a son almost ready to turn into a man made her realise that her own life could start to take shape again. Soon she would have time to be her own self once more and that quip from her child “What do you need a boyfriend for? You’re a mum?” says it all- time to take back her life. I actually found myself interested in her ex, more than I think was intended, because he seems (in the present) to be quite likeable and sorted, made me wonder just how much he’d changed since they were together. Not that he was completely on top of things!

All in all Take Mum Out is fun and sweet and very hopeful. I enjoyed it – a great summer read!

Country Loving by Cathy Woodman

4.5 Star

Romance blossoms between Talyton St George's newest farmer and her local vet. 

Successful city accountant Stevie receives two surprises in one week: a proposal of marriage from her boyfriend Nick and a phone call begging her to return to the family farm in Devon to help out after her father has a stroke.

But what she thought would be a long weekend in the country turns into much longer as she struggles to bring order to her father's rundown farm. Finally, she decides to give up her job -- and her fiance -- and take on the farm permanently. She dreams of turning it into a tourist attraction, never realising it would be so difficult. But with the help of many of Talyton St George's local residents, and the locum vet Leon, she is starting to make progress. Until a life-changing complication throws all her plans into disarray, and destroys her growing romance with Leon.



Kathryn - 4.5 Star

Country Loving was not at all what I was expecting from the cover art- I had predicted a bit of a slow paced country village tale with simple characters that didn’t do much of anything but I was only half right. While the setting is simple and the tale of girl meets boy is common I found the people of Talyton St George to be intriguing and their interactions refreshing. I suppose it’s a modern day farming community with some of the old traditions mixed in what with the “lady farmers” and modern way of life!

Cathy Woodman’s heroine, Stevie, is awfully feisty in a lot of ways, particularly in regards to her feelings about the family farm. Her plans for a petting zoo, to bring Nettlebed farm back to life, were undertaken with strength and conviction that she was on the right path.  I liked her immediately but found her lack of confidence with the attraction to the local vet to be a bit out of character. I suppose her being vulnerable in love was due to her recent breakup but it didn’t fit for me with the woman tackling her father’s failing farm.

My heart was warmed by farm manager Cecil, his wife and the friends who came to help Stevie. I even had a bit of a soft spot for her curmudgeonly father (who really could have been a bit nicer to his daughter!). Woodman also brought in some nosey and/or grumpy neighbours to round out the idea of village life.  

But I was most stuck into the farm life, the mud, the cows and the whole farming thing. Country Loving has that simple story line but doesn’t miss out on giving us a good feel for the hard work and reward of being a farmer. I come from a long line of cow people (according to my mother) and have a cousin who recently retired from caring for a herd in Buckinghamshire.  We are always pulling over on trips to look at cows and I appreciated Woodman’s knowledge of farming peppered throughout the novel – without actually having to be stuck in the pile of cow manure myself.

I’d definitely pick up another novel by Cathy Woodman!

The Art of Arranging Flowers by Lynne Branard

3 Star

Ruby Jewell knows flowers. In her twenty years as a florist she has stood behind the counter at the Flower Shoppe with her faithful dog, Clementine, resting at her feet. A customer can walk in, and with just a glance or a few words, Ruby can throw together the perfect arrangement for any occasion.

Whether intended to rekindle a romance, mark a celebration, offer sympathy, or heal a broken heart, her expressive floral designs mark the moments and milestones in the lives of her neighbors. It’s as though she knows just what they want to say, just what they need.

Yet Ruby’s own heart’s desires have gone ignored since the death of her beloved sister. It will take an invitation from a man who’s flown to the moon, the arrival of a unique little boy, and concern from a charming veterinarian to reawaken her wounded spirit. Any life can be derailed, but the healing power of community can put it right again.



Sabrina-Kate - 3 Star

The Art of Arranging Flowers had an interesting premise but unfortunately even though I found it very easy to read, I did not love the book. The writer has a great writing style and yet it did not captivate or interest me like I had hoped (despite the fact that I was quite interested in the idea of someone being able to understand exactly what you needed just by looking at you or even without looking at you).

The story line was set in a small town and had that almost predictable progression that made it an easy read yet this disappointed me as I was hoping for something more interesting to happen. I did find that the main character talked a lot more about flowers than the other characters in the book which seemed a bit strange to me at first but perhaps it was entirely the point as the character was supposed to be a damaged, closed off person. 

The Art of Arranging Flowers was not without its charms and had a lot of sweet moments, but something about it just did not work for me as I felt that it lacked in realism and true actions.

The French for Always by Fiona Valpy

3.5 Star

Leaving the grey skies of home behind to transform a crumbling French Ch̢teau into a boutique wedding venue is a huge leap of faith for Sara. She and fianc̩ Gavin sink their life savings into the beautiful Ch̢teau Bellevue Рset under blue skies and surrounded by vineyards in the heart of Bordeaux.

After months of hard work, the dream starts to become a reality – until Gavin walks out halfway through their first season. Overnight, Sara is left very much alone with the prospect of losing everything.

With her own heart breaking, Sara has five weddings before the end of the season to
turn the business around and rescue her dreams. With the help of the locals and a little courage can she save Château Bellevue before the summer is over?


Kathryn - 3.5 Star

I read Fiona Valpy’s The French for Love last fall and was enchanted by its’ sweet nature so I was pleased that The French for Always was equally alluring.  I think I’ve read a few other novels set in rural France recently so perhaps I’m yearning for some summer cicada sounds and that dry heat I remember from childhood times in Provence. Regardless of my own dreaminess surrounding this area of the world I think that Valpy’s novels will charm those looking for a summer read to warm the heart.

As I felt with her previous novel I wasn’t astounded by the twists and turns of the plot (although I was a bit taken aback by the abrupt departure of chateau’s co-owner within the first couple of chapters) but I felt that the author had a good grasp for creating people who are likeable and relate-able. I was sympathetic towards them and yet they were not soppy or downtrodden.

My heart was pulling for Sara to be able to keep her chateau wedding venue- she was so relaxed and calm with all of her various wedding parties and her demeanor made sure that each nuptial was executed without a hitch (despite various interferences and her own troubles).  I think I fell in love with her home, her business and Sara herself a little more as each wedding was completed and I appreciated all the little details about the wedding parties that Valpy included.  She packed a lot of description into few words and it was felt across the pages.  Sara’s captivating staff made me smile many time also and I was silently cheering her on with her love interest- he was obviously a much more compatible man for our leading lady and the cameo appearances of some of the characters from The French for Love were a very nice addition, so lovely to meet some people again (yes, I know they’re fictional- but such is the nature of a novel as sweet as this that you want them to be real).

I do love Fiona Valpy’s writing and her ability to bring across the natural surroundings without it seeming heavy handed- a delightful summer read!

Goodnight June by Sarah Jio

4 Star

Goodnight Moon is an adored childhood classic, but its real origins are lost to history. In Goodnight June, Sarah Jio offers a suspenseful and heartfelt take on how the "great green room" might have come to be.

June Andersen is professionally successful, but her personal life is marred by unhappiness. Unexpectedly, she is called to settle her great-aunt Ruby’s estate and determine the fate of Bluebird Books, the children’s bookstore Ruby founded in the 1940s. Amidst the store’s papers, June stumbles upon letters between her great-aunt and the late Margaret Wise Brown—and steps into the pages of American literature.




Kaley- 4 Star

Confession: Goodnight June was the first book by Sarah Jio I've ever read. I know! I've heard of her and her novels, and even follow her on social media. But I just hadn't gotten around to reading any of her books. What a silly move! I really adored her latest novel.

Do you love the movie You've Got Mail? I think you'll love this book. They're not actually all that similar in terms of the story but the feeling is the same. Jio's June inherits a children's bookstore not unlike the one run by Meg Ryan's character, Kathleen. There's a certain type of magic you feel when you read a book (or watch a movie)  about a children's bookstore. Obviously we (meaning me and you lovely Novel Escapes fans) are readers. We understand why it's important to make sure new generations are reading, just as June eventually realized (or, more accurately, remembered). Even if you're not a fan of Nora Ephron's movie, you should read this one.

I loved how Jio imagined the origin of Goodnight Moon. Not only was it interesting but it was told through letters between Margaret Wise Brown and June's Aunt Ruby. I think reading letters made this part of the story more…poignant, I think. It was really easy to imagine the "what if" that Jio has written for us and I loved that. It would have been easy for the letters to take away from the rest of the narrative but I think they really complemented the story. There weren't too many and I loved the treasure hunt aspect that went along with the letters.  

Those letters also serve another purpose. I feel like they really give the sense that Ruby is an active participant in this novel even though she is dead. We're learning about her and her past just as June is. We also really get to see how much Ruby adored her store, Bluebird Books.

Goodnight June is a book for booklovers. Sarah Jio has written a touching, intriguing, and lovely novel that should not be missed.

Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands by Chris Bohjalian

5 Star

Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands is the story of Emily Shepard, a homeless girl living in an igloo made of garbage bags in Burlington. 

Nearly a year ago, a power plant in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont had a meltdown, and both of Emily's parents were killed. Devastatingly, her father was in charge of the plant, and the meltdown may have been his fault—was he drunk when it happened? Thousands of people are forced to leave their homes in the Kingdom; rivers and forests are destroyed; and Emily feels certain that as the daughter of the most hated man in America, she is in danger. So instead of following the social workers and her classmates after the meltdown, Emily takes off on her own for Burlington, where she survives by stealing, sleeping on the floor of a drug dealer's house, inventing a new identity for herself, and befriending a young homeless kid named Cameron. 

But Emily can't outrun her past, can't escape her grief, can't hide forever-and so she comes up with the only plan that she can.


Sabrina-Kate - 5 Star

I absolutely LOVE Chris Bohjalian and all of his previous books that I have read so I probably am not the most unbiased reviewer you could have. However, I can say that I think that Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands was probably my absolute favorite of his because it was so compelling to me.

Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands is set in New England, namely the state of Vermont, and having been to the places he talked about in the book probably largely influenced my enjoyment, especially since he described them so well yet so subtly. Oddly enough, I have a good friend who is a social worker in Burlington so I found the interactions between Emily and those trying to help her somewhat familiar and very heartbreaking.

This story had so many things that I just loved about it. The plausibility, the characters, the heartfelt emotion and just the utter despair that Emily felt just all drew me in in their own way. I tried to imagine putting myself in her shoes and being so utterly alone and devastated at such a young and tender age. I felt that I couldn't but I could definitely empathize with her situation and pray that it improved.

This story almost felt like I was hearing about someone's real struggle and I found myself doubting that it was all fictional, and I even found myself looking up nuclear power plants in Vermont, to see if this was even something that could happen. 

I found Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands impossible to put down and can only hope that his next book is as powerful and gripping. I promise you that if you pick this book up, no matter what type of book you enjoy, you will not be disappointed.

Chips, chocolate or cheese? 

Cheese. But there would have to be a baguette and grapes to go along with it. And some wine. And some chocolate. And maybe some chips.

Wine, beer or vodka? 

Wine.

Camping in the wilderness!

Water or Mountains?

Water.


Zombies or Vampires?

Specifically, Bill Compton (before he went weird). Or Robert Pattinson, but not during the glittery-in-the-sunshine-chest scene.

Neither. I prefer to consume my beverage calories in wine, thank you.

Coffee in the morning until my hands start to shake as I type; tea for the rest of the day. (My current favourite is an black-tea-with-lavender-blend called Breakfast in Paris, by Stash.)

High heels--with sneaky flip-flops in my handbag to change into on the way home.

Well, paperbacks are easier to carry around and I must have a book on my person at all times-- but I do love a beautiful hardcover to display on the shelf. 

Pen or Pencil?

Mad Men, Downton Abbey or Breaking Bad

This is a tough one, but I’d have to say Mad Men because my boyfriend (Don Draper) is on it.

Lipgloss. I have about 763 different tubes of gloss, and yet can never seem to find one when I need it most.

Plot your entire novel or fly by the seat of your pants? 

I used to think I could control what my characters did by creating detailed outlines, but I’ve learned that they are as capricious as humans and dislike being hemmed in just as much as I do. So now, I fly by the seat of my pants, with brief bouts of outline discipline. 


Mating for Life

Former folk singer Helen Sear was a feminist wild child who proudly disdained monogamy, raising three daughters—each by a different father—largely on her own. Now in her sixties, Helen has fallen in love with a traditional man who desperately wants to marry her. And while she fears losing him, she’s equally afraid of abandoning everything she’s ever stood for if she goes through with it.

Meanwhile, Helen’s youngest daughter, Liane, is in the heady early days of a relationship with her soul mate. But he has an ex-wife and two kids, and her new role as a “step-something” doesn’t come with an instruction manual. Ilsa, an artist, has put her bohemian past behind her and is fervently hoping her second marriage will stick. Yet her world feels like it is slowly shrinking, and her painting is suffering as a result—and she realizes she may need to break free again, even if it means disrupting the lives of her two young children. And then there’s Fiona, the eldest sister, who has worked tirelessly to make her world pristine, yet who still doesn’t feel at peace. When she discovers her husband has been harboring a huge secret, Fiona loses her tenuous grip on happiness and is forced to face some truths about herself that she’d rather keep buried.

Synchronized Breathing by Tara Ellison

4 Star

Scarlett Spencer's life is a mess. Her lemon of a marriage has just imploded and she is headed to Beverly Hills, toddler in tow, to move in with her highly over-sexed mother, CeCe. 

Having to move in with her mother at the ripe old age of thirty-five seems to loudly announce her failure as an adult. Scarlett is keenly aware that she is paying the price for her history of poor choices in men - and so is her young son, Oliver.

Living in cramped quarters with one's mother is not without its challenges - even in Beverly Hills. Living amongst the rich and beautiful can really highlight your own perceived shortcomings and Scarlett has never felt more of a failure. Finding employment again after being a stay-at-home mother isn't easy, as she struggles to put together pieces of a puzzle that never quite fit before.

Scarlett's mother CeCe is wildly successful in the men department and has more dates than any woman half her age. CeCe has been married three times, so leaving husbands is a subject she knows something about. She counsel Scarlett that "Husbands are left by putting one foot in front of the other, and never looking back." Of course, the difference is that CeCe usually has the next man waiting in the wings...

After much prodding from CeCe, Scarlett wades back into the Hollywood dating pool - this time as a single mom- and finds that all the rules have changed.



Kathryn - 4 Star

There were so many good things about Synchronized Breathing that I have those warm and fuzzy feelings when I think back on the book. I was enchanted with the various characters and was most impressed with the variety of personalities created by Ellison. From hilarious Cece to darling Oliver I was completely smitten with Scarlett’s family -and they were quite an eclectic bunch. 

I related entirely to Scarlett’s hesitation about moving back in with her mother and teenage brother at this stage in her life. She’d been living away from them for years and had become accustomed to enjoying their company in smaller doses- particularly in the case of her mum. Cece is not your typical maternal mama. Far from maternal in fact, she was constantly giving unsolicited advice about Scarlett’s sex life and dating plans. Cece was sometimes even graphic and unapologetic about it- but you could still feel her warmth and love for her kids and especially little Oliver. She just wasn’t going to change who she was because of their new situation. Another sweet touch was Scarlett’s brother and his girlfriend- they spent time with Oliver and obviously didn’t mind caring for him when they were around. It made my heart warm to witness the generational support of each other, despite the out-there conversations!

My hesitation about the full five star rating came solely down to the pace of the novel- I felt at times as if we could have skipped some of the details as it became a bit “much of the same”. Scarlett’s dating escapades would possibly have benefited from one less interlude here and there with each man. It was a touch dragged out.  Also I wished at times that we knew a little bit more about Scarlett and her ex before their demise- the little we knew about them gave us virtually no idea about their good times- I never understood why they were together in the first place.

I enjoyed Synchronized Breathing particularly for the characters and the interactions between them all.

Please welcome Jenny Hale, author of Love Me for Me and Coming Home for Christmas.

About Jenny:

When she graduated college, one of Jenny's friends said "Look out for this one; she's going to be an author one day". Despite being an avid reader and a natural storyteller, it wasn't until that very moment that the idea of writing novels occurred to her.

Sometimes our friends can see the things that we can't. Whilst she didn't start straight away, that comment sowed a seed and several years, two children and hundreds of thousands of words later, Jenny finished her first novel.

Coming Home for Christmas went on to be a Kindle hit on both sides of the Atlantic - reaching the top 20 in the UK.

Love Me For Me

Sometimes you find perfect where you least expect it... 

Libby Potter has just lost the perfect job, the perfect apartment and the perfect boyfriend. Moving back to the same home town that she couldn’t wait to escape when she was younger was definitely not on her to-do list. Especially as it means running into the man whose heart she broke when she left.

Pete Bennett can still walk into a room and make Libby’s world stop with just the sound of his voice – even ten years on. Only now, she is the last person in the world that he wants to see.

As everyone else welcomes Libby home with open arms, she realizes she’s missed that special closeness that comes from lifelong friendship. And, as Libby tries to make amends with Pete, she begins to wonder whether she made the right choice in leaving all those years ago.

When an amazing career opportunity gives her the chance to leave again, Libby will have to decide what her version of perfect is… and where she really belongs.
