Can love flourish amongst the tree tops?
When pastry chef Twilight Wilson was a young girl, she would hide from school bullies up in the treehouse at the bottom of her garden in her family home in Sussex. It was her special place, and even as an adult she still loves it.
So when her family tell her they can't afford to live there any more, Twilight is devastated. Not only will they lose their home - but the treehouse too!
She comes up with a plan to save the family home - she'll start up a cafe in the treehouse! It's a brilliant idea, and excitement builds as she starts planning the menus, with the help of Theo - a rather attractive man from the gym. But when former school bully Lucy finds out the plan, she starts plotting - and opens her own rival cafe in the village!
Can Twilight save her family home? Will her friendship with Theo ever be anything more? And who will win the cafe wars?

I've had a couple of Catherine Ferguson's novels on my TBR pile now for a while, but when I spotted this one, I knew I just had to read it! The cover itself is so gorgeous, I absolutely love the treehouse - it's so beautiful and the colours are lovely and eye-catching! The bunting, the little curtains in the window, and of course the flowers and the tree surrounding it makes it look so pretty. I just wish I had a treehouse like this! Whatever your age, you're never too old for a treehouse.
This book pulled on my heartstrings from the minute I started reading it. It begins with Twilight running away from bully Lucy when she was a little girl. She runs home after Lucy threatens to once again 'get her after school' and Twilight runs straight for the most safe and secure place she knows - her treehouse. Twilight then starts to calm down and this is when it cuts to the present day.
Twilight is now on her way home after cutting her pastry course in London short after finding out her family are currently undergoing quite a few serious issues at home. She decides to head home and start running a cafe in her dad's old shop to help out and raise some money to allow her family to keep their home. Once Twilight is home, it brings some happy but also saddening memories back to her about her childhood - and I have to admit, I had tears!
Reading about the lovely childhood that Twilight had, it just pulled at all my heartstrings, and without giving too much away, I just really hoped that all worked out well for her and her family. As I mentioned above I have never read a book by Catherine Ferguson before but I really loved it! I really enjoyed Catherine's style of writing. It was witty and funny without being too much and it also had some really emotional moments that made it lovely and heartwarming to read.
I adored all the characters in the book and really found myself rooting for Twilight and her cafe! It's a beautifully romantic novel in a lovely-sounding setting and I can't wait to read more of Catherine's novels. It was lighthearted and a great read. Thank you to Netgalley and to the publisher for a chance to read this novel, which I have reviewed honestly.
