Life is full of second chances, if only you keep your heart open for them.
Spring Hill Square is a pretty sanctuary away from the bustle of everyday life. And at its centre is Leni Merryman's Teashop on the Corner, specialising in cake, bookish stationary and compassion. And for three people all in need of a little TLC, it is somewhere to find a friend to lean on.
Carla Pride has just discovered that her late husband Martin was not who she thought he was. And now she must learn to put her marriage behind her and move forward.
Molly Jones' ex-husband Harvey has reappeared in her life after many years, wanting to put right the wrongs of the past before it is too late.
And Will Linton's business has gone bust and his wife has left him to pick up the pieces. Now he needs to gather the strength to start again.
Can all three find the comfort they are looking for in The Teashop in the Corner? And as their hearts are slowly mended by Leni, can they return the favour when she needs it most?

As always, I couldn't give a Milly Johnson book less than 5 stars. And this one in particular definitely pulls at your heartstrings. I picked it up from a charity shop and I'm so glad that I did! I've loved all of Milly's novels and I couldn't wait to sink my teeth into this one - the choice of what to read next was between three of her novels so I will be reading those other two soon and reviewing! So watch this space!
The cover doesn't give much away but is cute and I love it. I love the stripped awning, the cupcake, the flowers - it's all so pretty! The story itself really was heart-wrenching. Urgh. It was beautiful! This novel was another one of my ever-growing favourites by Milly Johnson. At first, I'll admit I was getting a tad confused because it just seemed like there were so many characters and so many different stories going on but after a bit I got into it and started to learn as well as relate to all of the characters.
The story follows many different characters, as mentioned above, and they all have their own individually heartbreaking stories. Carla has just found out that her husband isn't who she thought he was and is now wondering if her marriage was a lie. She struggles to keep positive until meeting Will Linton, who has also had a heart time recently. Molly is lost, she hasn't ever found someone who can replace the love of her life but then she's in for the biggest shock ever when he returns on her doorstep one day begging for her forgiveness!
The characters are all wonderful. And amongst them all is kind and caring Leni. Leni owns the Teashop where they all meet and is probably the nicest character I've ever read about! I shed a little tear when reading about her daughter Anne but I have to admit that my favourite character was definitely Ryan. He pulled at my heartstrings and I was just hoping and praying everything would work out for him! I guess you need to read it if you want to find out what happens to our dear Ryan in the end!
I don't think I've ever cried more at a book than I did with this one. It started off a little slow but when I got into it, it didn't want to let me go! I cried when I read about Molly's past, I cried when Harvey's story came to an end and I cried when Leni's secret was revealed. I just thought it was beautifully written and I loved it. Thank you Milly Johnson!
