I am thrilled to be sharing my thoughts with you on this wonderful read.
Blurb:
It’s 1982 and the residents of Whitlock Close have an exciting few months ahead of them. The Lincolnshire village is looking forward to two weddings!
Former school teacher Sarah Willington is set to marry Mark Thomas, guitarist of the successful boy band The Unflappables, and no expense is being spared.
The second wedding will be a quieter one, but who exactly is Norman marrying – Nora or Mabel?
Twelve-year-old Louise has to decide about her gymnastics career, following a shocking development with her friend Jayne’s health. Plus what on earth is going on with her boyfriend Toby?
Meanwhile, there are people moving in and moving out, cats going missing and a big Christmas trip away to the new Silver Sands Holiday Camp.
It’s going to be another eventful few months for the residents of the eight semi-detached houses in Whitlock Close.
Bobs and Books honest review:
A wonderful 2nd instalment of this series.
I'm pleased I read the 1st as a lot of characters are introduced very quickly so to remember who is who and where on the street takes a moment to digest.
Just like the 1st this has some joyous moments, but some heartfelt tender moments too with some sensitive issues explored. The author weaves these in brilliantly. I also like the age range of these characters. From teenage confusion trying to navigate life, to elderly neighbours needing to adjust, this has something for everyone. This also brings in real life events from that time period, which is also impactful.
My personal favourite was Mark and Sarah's story that had a little bit of everything.
Out now.
