Heidi has done it again! A perfect summery read full of sunshine, strawberries and fun!
This book epitomises the sense of belonging and coming home to your roots.Wonderful characterisation particularly the Italian grandmother who was the heart of the family home, typically feeding everyone with her delectable culinary delights!Fliss who despite her grief carried out her mums last wishes and in doing so found herself a wonderful stereotypical grandfather, new friends, but more importantly a sense of belonging, a home to put down roots and a purpose in life! As a reader I felt instantly transported to those heady days of summer picking strawberries in a field surrounded by family and friends.A great book perfect for the beach or summer holidays and one that will stay with you long after you have finished reading it!
Thank you netgalley for this early read.

From page 1 Heidi Swain got you so in tune with the main character's feelings, you felt sad when she felt sad, excited and nervous when she felt excited and nervous, angry when she felt angry. I experienced a whole range of emotions, I laughed, and I nearly cried a couple of times.
I never met one of my grandad's and only have vague memories of the other as he died when I was very young and the grandad in this book is exactly how you imagine a grandad should be. I just wanted to leap into the book and give him a big cuddle, he was definitely my favourite character!
Fliss is navigating life without her mum and suddenly she has to figure that life out, where does she belong? What does this letter from her mum mean?
Without revealing too much more, all I will say is that this is another brilliant book by Heidi Swain.
People often ask me if Heidi's books are stand alone's or do you have to read them in order? You can certainly read this book as a stand alone but it makes you smile and gives a feeling of the book giving you a hug if you read her other's first because then you already know some of the characters.
In summary, I absolutely loved it!
