MY THOUGHTS:
Ava Morrow is recovering from a broken heart after losing her amazing father Jack. He died in a lifeboat while at sea. The small village of Port Promise is reeling with grief realizing they will never see Jack again. Ava decides to carry on Jack’s legacy by becoming a lifeboat volunteer. Ava takes her best friend Harry with her. Harry was on the lifeboat the night that Jack died. Ava’s sisters Clara and Gaby are not happy with her decision and want to talk her out of it. But when Harry tells Ava a horrible secret about the night that Jack died, her life is once again turned upside down. She is faced with another major decision, where does she go from here?
This book completely swept me away. The Lifeboat Sisters authored by Tilly Tennant was a wonderful and much needed escape to the Cornish Coast. I was enamored by the sights, sounds and aroma of the beautiful English Coast. This book played out like a movie in my mind. This is a story of overcoming grief and the loss of a parent and discovering new beginnings in life. I felt a personal connection to the Morrow Sisters and the villagers of Port Promise. What a lovely escape this unputdownable rapid page turner was. I am so happy that this is the first book of what I’m sure will be a phenomenal series. I can’t wait to dive into book two. I highly recommend this story.

DESCRIPTION:
Escape to candy-coloured Seaspray Cottage on the Cornish coast, with its stunning views of honeycomb sand beaches and aquamarine seas, where Ava is about to make a brave new start…
When Ava Morrow’s beloved father Jack is killed on his lifeboat at sea, the Cornish village of Port Promise unites in grief. Jack’s twinkling eyes and warm smile are remembered by the whole village, and Ava is determined that he will never be forgotten.
Inspired to follow in her father’s footsteps, Ava quits her job and begins to train as a lifeboat volunteer, alongside her best friend Harry, who was with Ava’s father the night he died. As they work side by side every day, Ava begins to see Harry, with his sea-green eyes and his sandy blonde hair, in a different light. Ava’s mother and sisters are worried about Ava’s safety and want her to stop, and Harry is the only person who really understands what she needs to do. Still, she pushes her feelings to one side, afraid to risk their friendship.
But when, one summer’s evening, Harry reveals a tragic secret about the night that Jack died, Ava’s world is turned upside down once more. Will his secret drive her away from him and the new life she loves?
I love this review, you've captured the essence of the Cornish coast brilliantly.
