Goodreads Blurb… Someone once told me that you have two families in your life – the one you are born into and the one you choose. Yes, you may get to choose your partner, but you don’t choose your mother-in-law. The cackling mercenaries of fate determine it all. From the moment Lucy met Diana, she

Review: Watching You by Lisa Jewell #watchingyou #lisajewell #atriabooks @atriabooks #bookblog #blogger #bookblogger #booknerd

From Goodreads… Melville Heights is one of the nicest neighbourhoods in Bristol, England; home to doctors and lawyers and old-money academics.
