Welcome to Glorious Tuga", and how glorious it truly was. This book captivated me in a way few others have. It was pure escapism to the most beautiful island with fascinating, heart-warming characters and a multi-layered plot. 

I enjoyed the many characters in this story, led by the main character, Charlotte.  The secondary characters added so much to the story and while initially it took me a while to solidify the connections between characters, it was never overly difficult to keep up. The character list at the beginning of the book was very useful. 

As I mentioned, there are multiple plots in this story but none felt unnecessary or arbitrary. There are definitely some storylines that needed tieing up at the end, and I was a little shocked when the book ended, however, I was completely delighted to see that this is part of a trilogy. I'm already counting down the days to return to glorious Tuga for part two. 

With many thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to honestly review this book.
