A Posy of Promises by Sharon Dempsey

5.0

Being a massive fan of programmes like Grand Designs. I instantly fell in love with the house that Ava inherits and had so many visions and ideas of what the house should look like. I'm not sure whether Ava would agree but it was lovely to fantasise about inheriting a house like that and what I would do with it myself.

Ava is such a wonderful character. I warmed to her from the off and by the end she felt like one of my friends. In fact there are many wonderful characters in this book. From Hazel, Ava's boss, to her wonderful friend Niamh and her childhood friend Joseph, they were all great and I would love to see more of them.

This was such a wonderful story. There are lots of things going on in Ava's life with her beloved grandma being in a home, the house, her love life and to top it all her mother, but it all slots in so lovely making this a mesmerizing read. 

A Posy Of Promises is a gentle and beautiful story that took hold of me and wouldn't let go. I finished it in one day as I was so invested in Ava's life and was quite melancholy when I reached the end as I wasn't ready to say good bye to the characters. An enchanting and heartwarming story with characters that will stay with me for quite a while. Loved it.

My thanks to Bombshell Books and NetGalley for an advanced readers copy of this book. All opinions are my own and not biased in anyway.
