The Best days of lives by Lucy diamond is about a McKenzie family dealing with the loss of a loved one. Leni McKenzie daughter/sister and best friend got knocked off her bike and was killed. The family was never the same again.
This is a story about sister Alice finding out about Leni’s last few weeks of her life and she discovers that Alice didn’t know everything about her sister than she thought she did. It is also about them coming to terms with Leni’s death and getting over the grief and living life to the fullest as Leni would have wanted her family to be.
Thank you, Quercus, for an ARC of Lucy Diamond’s latest offering. I look forward to the authors work and it is usually happy, heart-warming tale. I liked the premise of this story, but I found this to be slow and depressing that I struggled to connect to the characters although I finished it.
