This is a new author to me, and one I'm very glad I've found. :) The story starts with Lucy, who has just lost her mum. Lucy is a shy person, who's been 'bossed around' all her life, by her mum, her husband, and even her daughter! Her mum's death, however, makes her start to re-evaluate her life.

Alongside this, she is brought back into contact with her brownie pack from her childhood.. and we also start to get a glimpse into their lives aswell.

Kate has developed some great characters.. honest and believeable, and you may even see glimpse of yourself in them too. The story develops well, and Kate also injects a great sense of humour. For those of you who were brownies, you will cringe, and laugh!

This is another chick lit book for grownups, it kept me laughing, had me close to tears, brought me close to the characters, and kept me hooked. Highly recommended!

Did you mention to me something about her books once before. I didn't enjoy Old School Ties, gave up on it but liked The Starter Marriage.?

Yep - I've read all of hers so far (almost finished Old School Ties), and although I enjoyed them all, this was my favourite by far.
