Many thanks to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest novel by Beth O'Leary. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!
Charlie Jones (he likes to be called Jones) has just arrived on the small island of Ormer to take a job as manager of a farm shop, only to find another Charlie Jones has just arrived for the same job. It's agreed that they will both have a trial at the job but will have to share accommodations. Both desperately needed a new start but just who is the real Charlie Jones?
What a fun, confusing premise and the perfect set up for a romance, although one with some heavy subject matters. I really enjoyed how the back stories were presented - Jones wrote emails to himself (To Charlie Jones, From Charlie Jones), while Charlie kept a journal. Plus there's a twist at the end that you certainly won't see coming. Very atmospheric and I'm now anxious to go for a bike ride around a small island, stopping for some of those treats! I'm always a fan of O'Leary's books, and this one is wonderful as well.
