I read the first chapter of a book on holiday a couple of months ago and then left the book... Now I can't remember the name of it or who it was by!

I have tried googling but I just can't find it!

Basic premise that I can remember:
A young woman has broken up with her husband/boyfriend and has gone to live with her best friends, slightly eccentric, mum on a boat in a harbour (or marina I'm not sure the difference!).

That's literally all I can remember but it was good! Very easy reading, feel good type of book.

I think by a well known author like JoJo Moyes.

Any ideas??

It's not that one but it does look good!

I'll add it to my reading list!

Thank you!

Sounds like it could be something by Katie Fforde?

@teddybearsbear I was hoping so as I've read some of her books and love them. I can't find it in her catalogue though... Although I have just bought 4 of her other books so at least I have something to read! Haha!

Sorry I don't know what book it is, but if you like Katie Fforde I would recommend Trisha Ashley who writes similar light funny novels.
