𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: This is the first book that I have read by this author and I really enjoyed it! At first I was a bit unsure of the multi POVs but they all worked so well together. I really adored the MC’s (and most of the side characters), Iloved seeing how their stories worked out bringing them all together. They each had their own traumas but they all persevered. This story is so lovely and full of hope! I cannot wait to read more from this author!
𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: 𝙑𝙖𝙡 was a widow unknowingly lost her rings in a taxi while going to Glasgow to visit her nieces. 𝙎𝙤𝙥𝙝𝙞𝙚 was the next passenger in the taxi who found the rings but unfortunately, the taxi driver had a heart attack and crashed while taking her to potentially meet up with her first love. Because of the crash, she lost possession of the rings. 𝘼𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙚 is a cleaner who is married to Larry, said taxi driver who also happens to be a corrupt ex-MP. Alice lived in fear with Larry threatening and verbally abused her for years. 𝙍𝙤𝙧𝙮 is Alice’s son who is recently separated from his wife. He works for his father-in-law but loses both his wife and job because of his father’s past crimes. There were several twists & turns, lots of tears & laughter that brought them all to a hopeful ending.
