Wildflower Park, Part Four: Rooting For You
Bella Osborne
Rating: 5 stars
Escape to Wildflower Park with Part Four of a brand new four-part serial from bestselling author Bella Osborne.
Life's not always a walk in the park...
When Anna is dumped by her fiance, she moves in to her own place on the edge of the gorgeous Wildflower Park and pledges to stay off men and focus on her career, but a handsome new colleague seems to thwart her attempts at every turn. And when she receives an accidental text from a mystery man, could it be the new start she needs? Or someone she really shouldn't be falling for?
Anna's neighbour Sophie is a stressed-out mum-of-two with a third on the way. Her husband is a constant frustration, and their children are a regular source of newly-invented swear words and unidentifiable sticky surfaces.
Luckily, Anna and Sophie have each other - and Wildflower Park proves to be a sanctuary as they map out a path to find the happiness they both deserve...
Fantastically funny, this irresistibly heart-warming novel will charm fans of Milly Johnson and Jill Mansell.
----------------------------------------
This is the final novella in the series and boy was it a good'un! It was jam-packed full of drama and excitement and I read it in only a few hours as I couldn't put it down. The cover, once again, is absolutely beautiful and it's lovely to see the park in all it's glory with blossomed flowers and the row of colourful houses along the back. I adore the pond with the little ducklings swimming in it. It just gives the story a really nice feel to it and for me at least, it completely sucked me in.
I felt that the story, unlike the others in the series, took a bit of a darker and more serious turn compared to the first three. However, it was this that kept me hanging on to every word and I couldn't wait to find out what happened next. Even though the story beforehand was building up to this last part of the novel, I still couldn't have told you what was going to happen. I was shocked when the truth came to light and couldn't believe what was happening! It was great to read.
I felt we learnt a bit more about Anna in this particular novella as well. She finally learned to tell Hudson why she doesn't drink and why she's afraid of heights and flying and subsequently, I feel it brought the two of them together and made them realise how they truly felt for each other. It was nice to get some alone time with just them, and to read about their relationship growing. It was obvious they both liked one another, but with both of them battling their own demons, it took them longer to finally admit to their feelings.
I also enjoyed that we had some time away from Wildflower Park and went to New York with Anna and Hudson, it was refreshing and brought a new feeling to the novel. However, we do also still get to read about Sophie back at home with her new baby, and I really enjoyed this too. It was so lovely reading about Sophie and Dave and their family and I was so pleased with the ending.
Overall, I would throughly recommend you give this series a read. It's entertaining, light hearted as well as easy and enjoyable to read, you won't regret it! Thank you to the publisher for a chance to read this novel via Netgalley, which I have reviewed honestly.
