Now, this book isn’t strictly chick-lit but I just had to post about it because of the cover! I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of it this week and I’m quite excited to read it now. I adore the pretty cover and it’s certainly one I would pick up in a bookshop just because of that! It’s due out 5th August in hardback, and here’s the synopsis:
“Emily Benedict came to Mullaby, North Carolina, hoping to solve at least some of the riddles surrounding her mother`s life. But the moment Emily enters the house where her mother grew up and meets the grandfather she never knew, she realises that mysteries aren`t solved in Mullaby, they`re a way of life. Here are rooms where the wallpaper changes to suit your mood. Unexplained lights skip across the yard at midnight. And a neighbor, Julia Winterson, bakes hope in the form of cakes, offering them to satisfy the town`s sweet tooth - but also in the hope of rekindling a love she fears might be lost forever. Can a humminbird cake really bring back a lost love? Is there really a ghost dancing in Emily`s backyard? The answers are never what you expect. But in this town of lovable misfits, the unexpected fits right in.”

I don’t like the sound of either the cover or the synopsis, I wouldnt be tempted to even glance at this book based on both of these.
I like the US cover better, but I love the synopsis. I think this sounds really good!
I love Sarah’s books. Can’t wait for this one, but would much prefer to download to eBook - but it won’t let me do that to the UK.
I’m reading this one right now and it’s fantastic! Although, I do think the US cover is more appealing for sure. Can’t wait to see what you think of it!
