Getting over Gary- Jessica Redland  5**
Elise and Gary are childhood sweethearts and have been married since they were 17.
Elise would love a family and is thinking that the time is almost right. Gary however
has his own ideas and a secret that Elise could never have imagined. I’m not normally
in to romance but as with “Searching for Steven” this has so much more. A woman
with determination that isn’t going to let a downturn spoil her outlook on life. I took
to Elise very quickly and felt for her predicament. It is sometimes easier to roll over
and let life put you down rather than get up, smell the coffee and go get what you
deserve. I love Jessica’s style of writing. It has that certain something that makes
you want to keep turning whilst giving you a relaxing read and the occasional smile.
For anyone who has or is facing difficulties in life . Reading this may give you a
strength you never knew you had and that little thing called hope. A truly captivating,
highly enjoyable read. This earned my 5** rating, one that isn't given lightly.
To books that I remember. only about 10% of the 220+ I read in a year.
A very worthy winner.

Author Bio – Jessica had never considered writing as a career until a former manager kept telling her that her business reports read more like stories and she should write a book. She loved writing but had no plot ideas. Then something happened to her that prompted the premise for her debut novel, Searching for Steven. She put fingers to keyboard and soon realised she had a trilogy and a novella! She lives on the stunning North Yorkshire Coast – the inspiration for the settings in her books – with her husband, daughter, cat, Sprocker Spaniel, and an ever-growing collection of collectible teddy bears. Although if the dog has her way, the collection will be reduced to a pile of stuffing and chewed limbs! Jessica tries to balance her time – usually unsuccessfully – between being an HR tutor and writing.
