pickThis book really made me think about things and people I take for granted. Beautifully written book. Lily tragically lose her life with so many experiences yet to live and things left unsaid. It‘s a story of family and friend coming to terms with the sudden lose of lily and how they begin to mend. This book made me laugh in places and there were tears as well. Beautiful

Popped into my local Waterstones where Phyllida Shrimpton was signing copies of her debut novel Sunflowers in February. Obviously, I wasn‘t going to walk out with just one book! My excuse was that it was my reward for getting my 1 1/2 stone award this week at Slimming World 😁
pickLilly awakens to realize she's not awake at all but dead. She finds herself stuck unable to move on but watching her family and friends. Then one night she is able to reach out to her twin and she is given a chance to experience life again.
This is quite the read. It's quite heart breaking at times and I came close to tears many times but it's also a heartfelt and thought provoking read too. The ending is tear jerking but very well written.
