Small town
romance lovers, are you there? I have something for you! MEET ME ON LOVE LANE
by Nina Bocci is out today, and you don’t want to miss it. Believe me!
Hope Lake is
one of those idyllic places, even if it’s fictional, where you would love to
live or go to visit from time to time, the vibrant vibe of the people, the
stories behind every corner… it’s just charming and wonderful. So when I was
offered the chance to read an advanced copy of Nina’s new novel I couldn’t say
no.
This story in
particular is about two friends separated at a young age, the painful memories
associated to a place and the judgement that comes, not from your own
experiences, but from the people you trust the most.
Charlotte Bishop comes to Hope Lake after a long time, and her
memories of the place don’t seem to make it justice. She doesn’t remember a
lot, in fact. But people in Hope Lake remember her. At least the version of her
that left the town with her mom and that never came back. But this visit is supposed
to be temporary, so she’s not worried about what people may or may not think
about her, right? She’s there just to lay low and lick her wounds after being
fired from her job.
But life never goes as planned, and Charlotte’s childhood friends are
ready to prove her that home is where your heart beats faster and stronger. And
Charlotte’s home is with Henry, once her best friend and now a man offering
something she never knew she wanted. A happily ever after.
I loved this book so much. Every bit! It was fun, sweet and romantic! Nina Bocci delivered a wonderful piece about love, family and friendship, about finding your place in the world and holding onto the things that matter the most. I lived every piece of this story while reading this book, visited every shop and every street in Hope Lake, I imagined the characters walking on the streets… and you know what? It was magical. This book is magical.
I can’t wait to see what Nina has in store for Nick and Parker on the next book. April can’t come soon enough.
