Feel-good Fiction
Trigger: grief
Oh, excuse me; I didn’t see you reading there, what with the
wracking, happy sobs that Lucy Mitchell’s Instructions for Falling In Love
Again has just put me through. Oh, it’s ever
such an unputdownable book of heartache and heartmake. My family should know; they’ve had to fend
for their own lunch and laundry whilst I binge-read the story of Pip and Mikey
and Dan…there go the sobs again.
Emma and Mel and Helen and the four children in the story
were wonderfully distracting secondary characters, too. I confess that I’ve had this
second-chance-at-love novel on my TBR list for almost a year. And I’m already keen to wonder what’s
happened to the characters since Lucy last wrote The End.
I loved the dual POV from the two central characters, with
well-timed instructions from the third (as an old friend in each of Pip’s and
Mikey’s chapters). And the duck-egg, and
the cakes (who may not have had a voice, but had something to say).
Anyway, what are you still reading my five star review of
Lucy Mitchell’s heartwrenching and heartwarming novel for? Go read it yourself, immediately. Go on.
You’ll thank Lucy for her story, too.
