Hidden Treasures

2012Fern Britton

4/5

I'm giving this book four stars purely based on parts being silly. This is a great book, it's a light fun read. I honestly never knew Fern Britton wrote books and I won this via a giveaway just before christmas. Anyways, the story is of Helen, who is going through a divorce, ups and leaves london for the quiet life in cornwall. The start of the story goes on about an old lady who lives in the house Helen buys, we don't hear anything of said lady until probably a few chapters before the end. There are some lovely cute moments, but some really cringworthy ones too. The start of the book, i really disliked Simon, i thought he was so creapy. He just seemed like one of these guys who had never ever known how to interact or interpret anyones actions. He was so full on. But he was likeable towards the end, although i still think he was a little far fetched.The cornish village sounded lovely and then suddenly a filming of a TV show appeared and thats when things became a little OTT. I can imagin it happening as i'm sure TV shows do film on location obviously, but how nice everyone was to the locals seemed dramatic.I think my favourite characters were Chloe who really grew up into someone amazing and also Piran. He was mysterious and a times a little evil but there was something about him that made you want to know more.I would recommend this book to everyone, like i said its cute, its readable in a day or two. Just ignore some of the over dramatic parts.
