My Rating: 5/5 Stars
My Synopsis: Rosemary Peterson has lived in the Brixton area of London for most of her life. She has seen many things around her change, but one thing remains constant and true: she loves her local lido. Kate Matthews is a 20 something writer who is struggling to find herself when she serendipitously finds Rosemary. The unlikely pair spark up a friendship when Kate writes an article about the lido. As their friendship grows, Kate finds the community she has been seeking and realized that she that she isn’t as alone as she once thought. Rosemary discovers that it is impossible to fight some battles alone.
My thoughts: I LOVED this book. It is one of the best books I have read in 2018! It is upbeat, heartfelt, and beautifully written. This is the kind of book that feels like a warm hug, and I never wanted it to end. I love author Libby’s Page beautiful character development, how she ties in Rosemary’s memories of the past, and the focus on the importance of friendship and community. I gave this book 5 stars and would give it more if I could!
