Welcome back to Sugarloaf Ridge, where secrets and lies are bound to make their way out

You will need to have read Sugarloaf Ridge Secrets first to get the best out of this story.

I wanted to know more about Jerry from the minute I met him in book 1, and I was not disappointed in him at all.

I didn't really connect with Liv though. There is nothing wrong with her, she is a fine character and all, so maybe this was just me.

I got all the small town feels - having done the tree change myself I get the small-mindedness, cliquiness and b!tchiness that comes with being the "interloper" into a small town

And don't get me started on Penny - that woman deserves something unpleasant to happen to her!

Loved the friendships that Liv makes and how the bring embrace her into their lives

Jerry is just amazing and we all need one of our own.
