This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free From Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Thank you to Bookouture for my copy of this book via Netgalley. I really enjoyed the first book in this series so when this book was put on Netgalley I had to get it. While this is the second book in the series you can read it as a standalone.

Carrie was in love with Tom but after Megan muscled her way in and ruined everything Carrie couldn't stay in Shipley so she moved to Manchester the very next day. Ten years have passed and Carrie returns to Shipley to help her aunt on her flower stall.

Carrie never really got over her feelings for Tom so when she finds out he's marrying Megan she's more than a little wounded.  When Carrie see's Megan again she is transported back to her teenage self and feels the need to impress her.

Carrie discovers that her Aunt has been keeping a secret for many many years. This part of the story is so heart breakingly sad. I really felt for Ruby and can't imagine being in her situation.

This is such a sweet story. I knew quite early on how it was likely to end but this didn't ruin he enjoyment of the story at all. If you enjoy chicklit then you will have no problems spending the day wrapped up in Karen's world.
