Really enjoyed this part 1..these random acts of kindness are really nice to hear about. Its also nice to be on the receiving end of a random act of kindness

Heartwarming story and good characters - I try to live by Random Acts of Kindness - it’s what makes the world go around!

Great story, enjoyed reading this one as it pulled you in very well. I will now buy all of the stories together as I loved this first part!

Only a sample of the first three chapters but the author has created interesting characters and a positive theme of kindness which makes me want to read more! I look forward to the publication of this novel!

I really enjoyed reading the first part of this story and look forward to finding out what happens next in Littlewood. Thanks NetGalley!

I really liked this first part. An interesting books with interesting characters. Cannot wait to read the next part.
Many thanks to Simon and Schuster UK Fiction and Netgalley

I look forward to seeing how the story of each of the main characters in the story develp - Abbie who has lost her job and boyfriend, then her sister Louise who has moved to cope with heartbreak and finally Eszter, who has left her family to move with her daughter to look for her late husband's family in Littlewood and how the writer engages us through the magical board of Random Acts of Kindness in the coffee shop.Hope to read the rest very soon!

After being made redundant by her boss (and ex-boyfriend...awkward) Abbie finds herself unable to survive in London whilst looking for another job, so she agrees to stay with her sister, Louise, in the sleepy little town of Littlewood.
However, disaster strikes for Abbie when she is making her journey to Littlewood and she loses her handbag. Luckily, an unlikely hero comes to her rescue in the form of Hungarian lady Eszter who has travelled to England with her daughter and also finds herself in Littlewood on a mission to track down her late husband's family.
Meanwhile Louise is only too happy to have her sister come and stay with her - but she isn't sure about how she is going to break the news of the latest awful developments in her love life...

I love, love, LOVE Victoria Walters. The Second Love of My Life gave me ALL the feels (I am still overloaded with emotion from reading it over a year ago...) and I'm delighted that she is back on the scene with this serialised novel which will be appearing on our e-readers in four glorious parts.

I'm all for being kind - I think it is something we should all make a more conscious decision to do (myself included) therefore I was massively intrigued by the synopsis of this story. The blurb asks as to whether kindness really can change you life and I believe so...and I have no doubts that Victoria's latest release will reinforce that theory.

I quickly became hooked on this story and felt a bond with the characters pretty much straight away. I am fascinated to see how Abbie will cope with the transition of moving from the hustle and bustle of her life in London to the idyllic-sounding town of Littlewood (and not having the facility to order Sushi at 4am should you wish to do so...) It will also be interesting to see how Louise copes with having Abbie living with her under the same roof. It soon became clear that something had happened to Louise relationship-wise and I was suitably outraged when I found out what this was and I really felt for her.
Eszter is also a massively intriguing character. I can't wait to find out more about her backstory as she finds herself bringing up her daughter, Zoe, alone after the loss of her husband. There is some mystery shrouding her late husband's family and Eszter is fulfilling his wish in tracking them down, but she is uncertain as to what reception she will be met with and I want to know why...
All in all, these three women are a fantastic bunch of characters. I like them all already and I can't wait to join them on their journeys. Victoria has done an excellent job of forming them through her writing so that you feel as though you know them already, even after only reading part one of the novel which bodes well for the rest of the installments.

I felt sucked into the Littlewood community right from the off. What a gorgeous, cosy, quaint little town...I want to live there, please. I also desperately want to pay a visit to Brew (Mine's a latte and a chocolate brownie, please!) I loved the idea of the cafe's Wall of Kindness - what a wonderful idea and one I would definitely like to see in real life.

I loved everything about part one of this novel - the concept, the characters, the location - and something tells me that there are one or two juicy twists coming up in the storyline. (Hello, Thomas Huntley...)

This is the perfect feel-good read and a lovely one to get your teeth into. The good news is Part One is currently free over on Amazon, and Part Two is out today!

This was a set of the first four chapters of this book that I received through Netgalley.

In what promises to be a delightful and heart-warming read, this set of chapters introduces us to Abbie Morgan, a twenty-eight-year old Londoner heading to the small town of Littlewood where she is to live with her sister, Louise, having been made redundant and also broken off with her boyfriend. Pretty much as soon as she arrives there and enters the café where she is to meet Louise, she experiences an act of kindness―her lost bag is returned to her by complete strangers, something that takes her by surprise, for no one in London would have done such a thing. But with it, she is introduced to life in Littlewood where people look out for each other, are ever willing to lend a hand, extend random acts of kindness, and now that Abbey is part of Littlewood, and at the receiving end of kindness, she must continue the tradition and do her own bit of kindness for someone. Besides Abbey, other new arrivals at Littlewood, Ezther and her daughter Zoe, who have just come in from Budapest, and were in fact the ones who restored Abbey’s bag, also experience their own share of kindness. Everyone it seems, newcomer or resident, and irrespective of any personal troubles, is drawn in by its infectious atmosphere, and ready to do their act of kindness.

This was a really enjoyable and pleasant read for me. I loved the picture of life at Littlewood that one gets from these chapters―the pace may slower, and there may not be all that one gets in a metropolis, but the warmth and concern in its people and from them, in its atmosphere, makes life a much pleasanter prospect. One is just getting to know the characters and their backstories and the brief meeting was enough to get me interested in knowing what’s going to happen next, how things will turn out for each of them (since they each have personal troubles to work through, problems to face), and how the Littlewood atmosphere will work its magic on their lives. I’m definitely looking forward to the next instalment/s.

A simple act of kindness can change the course of anyone’s life, we met Abbie, Louise and Eszter, their stories intertwined by the start of kindness acts in the town of Littlewood. I found this part was over much sooner than I wanted it, the story gives enough little pieces to keep you enthralled and eager to learn about each character. It’s starting out to be the perfect heart warming, Sunday afternoon read that reminds you that kindness is everything.
