Lily
This was a book chosen by our book club at Exe sailing club. I was entranced from the beginning to the end of this beautiful, heartbreaking, emotional journey of Lily. Well written, emotive and captivating.
i say 4/5 stars
the book and the structure of the writing does not have that suspense that you expect, it’s a nice little story to read based on the authors life… being saved just as lilly was ….i feel like i could probably have done a better job …but IM NOT disappointed it was just slow and characters stay the same…but over all yeh add it to the basked “ next pls
