Marriage and Other Games by Veronica Henry.

I chose to review this book as I couldn’t believe how different it was to any other “chick lit” I’d previously read. I expected it to be all light-hearted with fluffy characters and a book I could easily put down and pick up at my leisure. However, this was not to be. I was immediately drawn in and I felt wrapped in the world of Charlotte Briggs.

The Somerset moors are a fitting setting for a story where every character’s story holds mystery and intrigue. Moving from the city to the isolated village of Withybrook is a big step for our heroine, yet not one she chooses to take. With handsome Fitch, mixed-up Sebastian and determined Penny, Charlotte attempts to make a new life for herself. Finding a new purpose to life is what keeps her going, yet it all comes crashing down around her and her new friends.

One unanswered question is the only reason I gave this book a four and not a five for storyline. I can’t say what that is for fear of spoiling it for others, but if ever Veronica Henry reads this, I’m sure she’ll know.
