Lucy's Little Village Book Club

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews Thank you to Bookouture for letting me take part in this tour. I love a good chicklit book and this one appealed to me instantly. I love the idea of a book club and wish I knew of a local one I could attend.

While Lucy may be the main character the other members of this book are highly featured and I would say they are more than secondary characters. Lucy runs a book club at the local library. The other members are Lia, Hattie, Oscar and Callum. 

Lia dreams of being a dancer but she is a full time carer to her mum. Hattie is a single mum to daughter Poppy but there is a family rift that means that her relationship with her own mother has been tough recently. Oscar lost his darling wife and now the loneliness is setting in. Callum comes from a not so nice family. He wants nothing more than a loving caring family of his own. 

I really loved hearing each of these characters stories. Emma does a wonderful job of making sure we understand each character. Their motivations and their dreams. 

This story is beautifully written and it might even feature in my books of the year post in a few weeks time. I'm really looking forward to reading more of Emma's books in the future.
