Review
I always am a bit jealous when I read about these little cosy villages at the seaside. I would love to live there too, but maybe a bit more towards the south like the South of France or Spain. Perhaps when I am old(er) and grey(er) 😉
When you have been let down by one of the people who should stand by you no matter what, it hurts. You pull yourself together and you survive. It’s hard and painful, but doable. But when they do it over and over again and they break your heart each and every time, then it’s too much. Much too much and you promise yourself you will never let that person hurt you again. So you ask back the key to your heart you gave them wholeheartedly. Enough is enough, because they did not only made you sad, but a few other loved ones too.
You don’t want anything that reminds you of them anymore and you build a wall around you.
But then there is good old Cupid. He aims, shoots arrow and never misses. You can fight him, but in the end guess who wins… 😊
A lovely story, great and a few not so nice characters and of course love. People do can change although it might take some time before they see the light. 😊 5 stars
Thank you
