It All Started With You

 


It All Started With You- Debbie Howells- women’s fiction

Frankie has had a series of disasters both in her personal life and in work much to the angst of her friend Honey. When Honeys wedding flowers don’t make an appearance Frankie steps up and so begins an idea which turns into reality with Honeys help of a wedding flower shop. Frankie makes changes to her life and starts running and in doing so literally runs into Lulubelle and her young son Cosmo. Small chats exchange snippets and Frankie finds out that Cosmo has leukaemia and Frankie does what she can to support Lulubelle, realising in the process what the most important things in life are. 

I really enjoyed this, it's a life affirming read and how sometimes it's the smallest gesture that can change someone's day for the better if we are willing to reach out a hand. There’s drama, and a little romance and lots of smiles along the way. Of life's ups and downs and when life throws you lemons add gin! (or make lemonade). An uplifting, wonderful read I highly recommend.
