I hadn't read the previous book The Single Mum's Mansion so I was a little apprehensive going into this book. I was worried in case I couldn't gel with the characters or found some of the plot lines confusing but I needn't have been worried - it was fine. The author did give a semi background of the characters so you could go into the book having not read the previous one but she didn't go into it too much so that those who had read the previous book didn't have their experience marred - sign of a good author there, giving just enough information needed.

I liked Ali as a character, she reminds me of many of my female friends, struggling to find themselves after the end of a long term relationship and kissing many frogs along the way. The story started well but when it really came into its own was when she and her daughter Grace moved to the Mews. 

The Mews is so well described, I could just imagine it in my mind and all the characters were realistic and vibrant. We were dealt with some surprises about some of the characters along the way and they really helped the storyline along.

There is a love interest (or two) in the book and I did find myself rooting for one rather than the other. It did seem like I wasn't going to get my wish but all came good in the end.

This was a really great read and perfect for by the beach or pool if you are going away this summer.

I had such fun reading about Ali moving out of the single mum's mansion and finding a new home for her and Grace. It's a good relaxing story full of friendship, warmth and light hearted gossip.

This is a second book in a series. I had not read the first book and this book read perfectly as a stand-alone novel. 
The storyline was engaging and this was an easy read

What an amazing novel! The character development was incredible, the story line flowed seamlessly and I was captivated the whole time. Highly recommended!

It takes a village, doesn't it?  Ali and Grace move to the Mews, a community of eclectic, quirky, and entirely relatable people.  You might recognize one or more of these characters- because they seem to real. This isn't heavy lifting but there are some troubled souls and secrets.  Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.  This would be a great novel for travel or the beach- it's got a good heart.

4 Star Review The Single Mums Move on by Janet Hoggarth

Janet Hoggarth is a new author to me.
This was an enjoyable read that I was able to lose myself in. I haven’t read the first book in this series, but I had no trouble reading as a stand alone. 
The time has come for Ali and Grace to move out of the Single Mums Mansion and on to a new adventure. Moving to The Mews is an eye opening experience with neighbors who like to be up in each other;’s business constantly.
The story line was engaging and I found it an easy read.  I received an ARC of this book through the publisher via Netgalley
