I read this wonderful book, not having read the book that comes before it: ‘The Last Days of Rabbit Hayes’. This didn’t spoil my reading enjoyment at all though, and stood on its own perfectly well. Saying that, I have now bought Rabbit Hayes - mainly because I don’t want to let go of the wonderful characters in this book just yet!

This is the story of how Rabbits family and best friend cope after her death. It’s the story about their grief, their loss and how they go about getting on with their lives in the aftermath.

I can’t even tell you how often this book made me cry, but I can say that I laughed in equal measure. The author has created these highly likeable, realistic characters, and it’s so easy to empathise with them.

I just loved it. I was an absolute mess whilst reading it (thank god for reading during the summer holidays!), but I loved it. Oh, and when I grow up, I want to be just like Molly Hayes. That woman is the mistress of the one liner and rules in the art of foul language. As my son would say: #goals.
I would highly recommend this book.
Thank you to The Pigeonhole for serialising this, and to Anna McPartlin for joining in!

Pieces of Us is the third and final book in the Missing Pieces series and what a fantastic finale it is! We reunite with Justin and Dallas as Justin continues to make slow but steady progress. He still can't remember everything but is enjoying all his firsts - again.

If you are looking for a high angst book then I'm afraid you've picked the wrong series. The angst here is all about Justin's accident and the impact it has, in ways neither he or Dallas could have envisaged, with just one exception - Justin's mother. The relationship between Justin and Dallas is as rock-solid as ever, with them given ample support by Davo and Sparra.

I loved how this book and the whole series played out. My heart broke for Justin as he planned for a future when Dallas wouldn't want him and it also broke for Dallas when he realised what Justin was talking about. The ending, for me, was perfect. We got the HEA I craved whilst still being realistic to Justin's limitations.

This trilogy is a definite heart-breaker that will give you the warm fuzzies. Absolutely fantastic and highly recommended by me.

Blow the man down
Bait is a beautiful disorientating gem of a movie about how we failure to understand and communicate with each other on a daily basis. Set in an old fishing village that's having to change with the times while leaving its locals struggling to make a living. bait is loaded with conflict and tension as tourists and locals cross paths and confront each other on a daily basis. Watching bait is a constant visual treat it's scratchy, jumpy, weathered and seemingly missing vital scenes giving it not only a sense of nostalgia but great authenticity too. Dialog is stiff, seemingly mismatched and layered in an almost hazy dream like way adding brilliantly to the overall atmosphere, harsh themes and knife point tension. Acting is tip top too with every single character seething with realistic portrayals of frustration, jealousy, anger and #hatred these along with close up shots of clenched fists and faces showing eyes of sheer boredom add superbly to a film that feels so relatable and incredibly British. Bait is by no means a happy watch with its intense close up imagery, pulsing scratchy film reel and defining silence that accompanies all the constant drama and conflict but theres something so pure, heart warming and nostalgic in all it's damn fine riveting hopelessness that rewards all that stay till it's haunting and mezmerising conclusion.
