Sometimes the people we least want to talk to are the ones who help us heal. A warm, funny and uplifting novel about unexpected love, found family ? and the Tuesday club that changes everything. Perfect for fans of Phillipa Ashley and Jill Mansell. Louisa Hall has a whole new life . . . and emotional baggage she definitely didn't ask for. After inheriting her brother's house in a pretty village, all Louisa wants is to lie low. Avoid people. Keep her feelings under lock and key. And absolutely not crash into an annoyingly handsome nurse. Or ducks. (Long story.) Then her lonely neighbour drags her to the Cosy Café’s Tuesday club – a place for tea, cakes and hard conversations. Louisa would rather hide than share her secrets, yet she finds herself drawn to these odd strangers. But when the struggling café faces closure and long-buried truths begin to surface, Louisa must decide how much longer she can continue to stay on the sidelines. Sometimes healing starts with oversharing.
