Lizzy Walter was happy and in love with her boyfriend
David until their relationship abruptly ended. Now Lizzy
is single and going home for the holidays to spend time
with her family. Christmas is supposed to be about
spending time with people you love, but without that
special someone in her life, Lizzy feels sad. To make
matters worse, she knows something suspicious is going on
at home and her family won't tell her what is wrong.
When Lizzy learns the truth, that her childhood home has
to be sold, she becomes very upset. Lizzy's childhood
friend and also brother of David, Miles, becomes Lizzy's
shoulder to cry on. Unfortunately this leads to run-ins
with David and this gives her conflicting feelings. Back
in London is Lizzy's sex buddy Jaden, who wants her to
move to L.A. with him. With three men trying for her
affections, what will Lizzy do?
Lizzy tries to find out why her childhood home must be
sold. In the meantime, her family is having problems in
their relationships and there is a wedding to plan! With
so much on Lizzy's mind, will she be able to see that true
love is right within her grasp and all she has to do is
reach out to have it?
GOING HOME is a beautiful book that deals with
relationships and family. The cast of characters are all
unique and have their own distinct voice. This is a
fabulous debut novel by a new fresh voice. Evans'
descriptions in the book are so vivid that I can picture
Keeper House perfectly.
Readers will root for a happily ever after for Lizzy and
become conflicted throughout the book on who they want her
with in the end. I loved the twist to the story and it
made it all worthwhile. I rooted for all three men and the
ending was surprising and delightful to me. I have never
been to London, but after reading this book it makes me
want to jump on the next plane there! I loved Lizzy's
family and their quirky personalities.
GOING HOME is the kind of book that you will want to curl
up with on a cold winter day and get lost in for days.
It's a thick book but it reads so beautifully that it
never felt too long to me. I loved the characters so much
that I long for a continuation of Lizzy's story. Read this
book! You won't be disappointed!
It's not shaping up to be the cosy family Christmas Lizzy
Walter had in mind. Leaving her tiny flat in London - and a
whole host of headaches - behind, Lizzy has returned home to
the much loved family home, Keeper House, for Christmas.
Like millions of others, all she wants is a break, to relax
and spend more time with her chaotic but big-hearted family.
But when she arrives, nothing is quite what it seems. Behind
the mistletoe and mince pies, family secrets and rivalries
lurk - and suddenly the very future of Keeper House looks in
jeopardy. And when David, the Love of her Life - or so she
thought - makes an unexpected reappearance, Lizzy is thrown
into even greater turmoil.
As winter slowly turns to spring, Lizzy realises she has to
take charge for once: of her family, her life and her heart.
And by the time summer finally arrives, she thinks
everything might be sorted out; and that she might be
falling in love again. But she's wrong. As the Walters come
together one last time for a wedding in the garden of Keeper
House, the stakes have never been higher.
Can Lizzy save the family home - and the family - or will it
be too late?
