I loved this book :) I really enjoy Jill Mansell and tend to fly through her books really quickly and her 2021 release wasn't an exception to this
As with all of her books, And Now You're Back was really sweet and lovely. It does cover some serious topics (such as cancer) but it handles them really well and doesn't feel too heavy, still managing to be a light-hearted read
The characters in the book were so likeable, there wasn't one I didn't like (except Ingrid, but the point is she's not nice). I loved all the relationships (romance, friendship, family) between characters, my favourites being the storylines about Layla + Will and Rosa + Benny.
This is a book set in a cute little village, where everyone knows each other and their lives are all intertwined. Jill does books liked these so well, the storylines all work well and the characters lives all weave together perfectly
I also enjoy that this book was written from multiple different points of view, which was good as it helped me to understand the characters more and see how they felt.
And Now You're Back was exactly what I needed at the minute, the world may be chaos right now but this book bought me some calm and good vibes. Totally recommend :)
