The Start of Something Wonderful - Blog Tour

 

Review - 5 out of 5 stars:

I absolutely love Jessica Redland’s books, so I couldn’t wait to get my hands on her latest, The Start of Something Wonderful. I wasn’t disappointed.

I really loved this book. I loved Autumn, she’s had such a tough time recently, but she has persistence and keeps working on getting her artistic mojo back. I loved the fact that she’s an illustrator, I’ve not read many books with one as a main character, so it makes a refreshing change. I loved reading about the progression of her artwork, as well as the character development. It made a lovely intertwining story.

I really liked Dane too, he seemed honest and kind, to character traits. He treats Autumn with respect and kindness, and is willing to talk about any issues, which is also an excellent thing.

I also loved Alice and Rosie. It’s lovely to see their relationship and how they support it each other, though I think it’s a huge shame that Alice won’t get help for her PTSD. I hope that we’ll get to see more of them in future books, and hopefully see Alice accepting some therapy so she can move forward.

I haven’t mentioned it much yet, but I absolutely loved the romance too. I loved how comfortable they felt with each other, and how they encouraged one another in their creative pursuits. And I absolutely loved the ending.

Overall, this was such a lovely story. Full of a sense of community, friendships, and of course romance. The Start of Something Wonderful is clearly the start of a wonderful series!

Book Description:

The Start of Something Wonderful

Autumn Laine has lost her creative sparkle. After losing her grandad and her job as an illustrator in quick succession, she is at a crossroads in life and needs a break. Spending time with her parents in Paris, even in the artistic community of Montmartre, doesn't appear to be the answer.

So when her penpal, Rosie, invites her to stay in the Lake District, Autumn jumps at the chance to get away from the hustle and bustle of Paris. After all, where better to re-discover her creativity than the place which inspired her heroine, Beatrix Potter?

Arriving at the picturesque lakeside village of Willowdale, Autumn is swept up by the beauty and magic of the stunning landscape. Welcomed into the community with open arms, she slowly starts to feel like herself again as her creative instincts re-ignite.

But when she meets Dane, who has escaped to the Lakes for his own reasons, will Autumn's walls come down to let someone in again after so long? Or will the secrets of her past continue to hold her back?

A new beginning is a daunting prospect, but could it be the start of something wonderful too..?
