#BlogTour #Review #JustOneDay #Spring
Mum-of-three Louisa thought she only had her never-ending to-do list to worry about, but the arrival of a ghost from the recent past puts her in an untenable position. Can she navigate the difficult situation she's in without their friendship becoming common knowledge or will it cause long-term damage to her marriage?
When a family member begins to suspect there's more to her relationship with the new sous-chef than meets the eye, Louisa needs to think on her feet or she'll dig herself into a deeper hole. But the cost of keeping her secret, not only from her husband, comes at a high price, one which tugs at her conscience.
With everyday niggles already causing a further rift between Louisa and husband Ronnie, will she manage to keep her family on track whilst her life spirals out of control? And when tragedy strikes, will Ronnie step up when she needs him most?
For fans of Fiona Gibson, Holly Martin and Jill Mansell.

My Review
I thought this was the first book I've read by this author, but I have actually read others! This is, however, the first book of the Just One Day series which I've read, but it can easily be read as a standalone book. I suspect there was, although I'm not sure as I've not read the first book, some storylines carried over, but I easily picked these up and settled into it very quickly. I liked Louisa's character and could connect to her throughout her storyline. She seems to have some troubles at home - her husband isn't around enough and a secret from her past catches up with her. She does however have a lovely family and a great set of friends, who do their best to help her through these.
The storyline flowed well and captured me from the very beginning. It's a story which is filled with emotion, but there are some more light-hearted moments which made me smile. This book was a lot more serious than what I first though, and there are a few sensitive topics which are dealt with. It is however written sensitively, with lots of twists, turns and drama which will keep your eyes refilling with tears! Once I'd started this story, I knew I wouldn't be able to put it down until I'd finished. Great characters and a warming and enlightening storyline which I would definitely recommend!
