About this listen
One long summer. One perfect setting. Can fiction inspire real life…?
Sometimes a book grabs you by the heart and grows to mean everything to you. That’s what Hope Falls is to friends Emily, Rachel and Tori. So, when they get the chance to spend a whole summer at the cottage in Lakeside where the film adaptation was located, they know it is going to be the holiday of a lifetime.
Spending six weeks away will give them a chance to re-evaluate their life choices. For Emily to decide which way her career will go – the safe route, or the more risky creative option? And for Rachel to decide whether to move in with her partner Jeremy. Then Tori has to drop out at the last moment, and her space is offered to another Hope Falls afficionado, Alex.
But when Alex turns out not to be who they expected, the holiday takes an unforeseen turn. And as the summer develops, so does their friendship. Could this be where they uncover their future selves, find love in all its forms and where their lives will change course forever…?

The first of Heidi Swain’s stand alone novels and I loved it. A gorgeous read and I was hooked from the start. Highly recommend!

Very enjoyable
The cottage at the Lake District, & the surrounding villages & countryside, sound gorgeous. I love the idea of a group of fangirls going in a trip to live out their favourite book & film. I wanted to go, too! I loved the fireplace, the rain, the food, the sewing, the hiking, the characters. Quite a clean read- which I greatly appreciate. The narrator was very good. I would’ve given her 5 stars, but she got a cold halfway into the book & sounded congested. I wish the producers would’ve waited for her to recover before finishing the recording. I would listen again.

Review
I love Heidi Swain but I felt this stopped a bit short of her other publications which are fantastic. Em’s moodiness was a bit annoying and it took longer to get into this story. However I am glad I persevered, it was pleasant enough.
