The Book-Lovers' Retreat
The Book-Lovers' Retreat: the perfect summer getaway | Heidi Swain
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
One long summer. One perfect setting. Can fiction inspire real life? Sometimes a book grabs you by the heart and grows to mean everything to you. Thats what Hope Falls is to friends Emily, Rachel and Tori. So, when they get the chance to spend a whole summer at the cottage in Lakeside where the film adaptation was located, they know it is going to be the holiday of a lifetime. Spending six weeks away will give them a chance to re-evaluate their life choices. For Emily to decide which way her career will go the safe route, or the more risky creative option? And for Rachel to decide whether to move in with her partner Jeremy. Then Tori has to drop out at the last moment, and her space is offered to another Hope Falls afficionado, Alex. But when Alex turns out not to be who they expected, the holiday takes an unforeseen turn. And as the summer develops, so does their friendship. Could this be where they uncover their future selves, find love in all its forms and where their lives will change course forever? Your favourite authors love Heidi Swain's books: 'A summer delight!'

This took me a while to get into. Three best friends get the chance to spend the summer in a cottage that was featured in their favourite book/film. Six weeks will give them the opportunity to re-evaluate their life choices. One of them has to drop out so a replacement is found but it doesn‘t go to plan.
An enjoyable read with a gorgeous backdrop. The second half of the book was the most interesting and sensitive topics were touched upon.
