The Perfectly Imperfect Woman By Milly Johnson

[amazon_link id=”1471163989″ target=”_blank” ][/amazon_link]One of my favourite authors Milly Johnson is back with a new book, called ‘The Perfectly Imperfect Woman’.

Marnie Salt has made so many mistakes in her life that she fears she will never get on the right track. But when she ‘meets’ an old lady on a baking chatroom and begins confiding in her, little does she know how her life will change. Arranging to see each other for lunch, Marnie finds discovers that Lilian is every bit as mad and delightful as she’d hoped – and that she owns a whole village in the Yorkshire Dales, which has been passed down through generations. And when Marnie needs a refuge after a crisis, she ups sticks and heads for Wychwell – a temporary measure, so she thinks.
But soon Marnie finds that Wychwell has claimed her as its own and she is duty bound not to leave. Even if what she has to do makes her as unpopular as a force 12 gale in a confetti factory! But everyone has imperfections, as Marnie comes to realise, and that is not such a bad thing – after all, your flaws are perfect for the heart that is meant to love you.

Milly is back with another sparkly, magic story that will grip your heart and attention from the very first page.

In this story we meet Marnie Salt, a young woman that bad luck seems to follow at every opportunity. Her adopted mother hates her and her sister doesn’t speak to her so when Justin Fox appears in her life, she thinks that’s she’s found happiness but she’s sadly wrong and find herself licking her wounds in Wychwell.

After befriending a wise, outspoken old dear called Lilian on the internet, they become friends and Lillian takes Marnie under her wing and introduces her to all her friends in the small magical village of Wychwell.

Even though the village is small, there are plenty of big personalities, some are delighted to see Marnie whilst others feel threatened by her, particularly when there men involved.

I adored this book, it’s such a poignant tale filled with charming characters. I loved Marnie, she was such an underdog that I really felt an empathy for her. She was regularly let down by people and I longed for her to find her happy ever after. Lillian was wonderful, boisterous, outspoken, she felt a connection with Marnie and wanted the young woman with her. The main male was a delightful man called Herv, a kind and gentle soul that many woman lust after. The story is cleverly written and filled with Milly’s quick wit and warm heart. The only downside was that Marnie was a cheesecake maker and all the inclusion of delicious recipes made me so peckish throughout.

Fun and entertaining from the very beginning, ‘The Perfectly Imperfect Woman’ was the perfect book to curl up with when the snow was ats worst, as this sweet tale warmed the cockles of my heart.
