Review | Messy Wonderful Us by Catherine Isaac

Blurb

In late 1983, a letter arrives from Italy, containing secrets so unthinkable that it is hidden away, apparently forever. More than three decades later, it is found . . . by the last person who was ever supposed to see it.

When Allie opens an envelope in her grandmother’s house, it changes everything she knows about her family - and herself.

With the truth liable to hurt those she loves most, she hires a private detective to find out what happened to her late mother in the summer before Allie was born. Taking leave from her job as a research scientist, she is led to the sun-drenched shores of Lake Garda, accompanied by her best friend Ed.

But the secrets that emerge go far beyond anything they were expecting. Now, Allie must find the courage to confront her family’s tangled past and reshape her own future.

Review

I was utterly captivated by Messy Wonderful Us, it stole a piece of my heart!

This bittersweet tale about the messy side of love, relationships & the way they shape our lives. The characters are so relatable and real I laughed and cried along with them and for them reading these pages.

I don't want to give to much away and ruin it, so all I will say is this stunning Italian setting, a heart-breaking plot with gasp-worthy twists and turns makes this a poignant, uplifting story -  one you will not want to miss!

All the stars and a piece of my heart, it has gone straight up there and joined the ranks of my all-time favourites Me Before You and PS I Love you for me.

Thank-you EDPR for sending me a copy in exchange for an open & honest review.
