Can’t wait to read this one! . . . s u m m a r y ⇣ From the Washington Post and Amazon Charts bestselling author of When We Believed in Mermaids comes a story of four generations of women grappling with family betrayals and long-buried secrets. It’s been years since Zoe Fairchild has been to the small Devon village of her birth, but the wounds she suffered there still ache. When she learns that her old friend and grandmother’s caretaker has gone missing, Zoe and her fifteen-year-old daughter return to England to help. Zoe dreads seeing her estranged mother, who left when Zoe was seven to travel the world. As the four generations of women reunite, the emotional pain of the past is awakened. And to complicate matters further, Zoe must also confront the ex-boyfriend she betrayed many years before. Anxieties spike when tragedy befalls another woman in the village. As the mystery turns more sinister, new grief melds with old betrayal. Now the four Fairchild women will be tested in ways they couldn’t imagine as they contend with dangers within and without, desperate to heal themselves and their relationships with each other. . . . h a s h t a g s ⇣ #thelostgirlsofdevon #barbaraoneal #booksharks #booksparks #pursuepretty #visualcrush #makeitblissful #darlingdaily #chooselovely #seekthesimplicity #bedroomdecor #capturequite #simpleandstill #mybdrm #lifestylephotography #everysquareastory #readya #biblio_feature #bookstagram #designyourspaces #styleithappy #bookgram #mybookfeatures https://www.instagram.com/p/CFFF3FGnkul/?igshid=sm7mmvxbk0ql

«Cuando te vi, te reconocí. Es como si todo este tiempo hubiera estado esperando a que aparecieras en mi vida. Y ahí estabas.» Cuando creíamos en las sirenas (Barbara O'Neal) 🧜‍♀️ Nos encontramos con la historia de dos hermanas que llevan 15 años sin verse, tras creer que una de ellas había muerto. Es un libro con una trama llena de secretos, en la que Josie se guardó todo el dolor de lo vivido en el pasado para proteger a su hermana, y eso provocó que cayera en una espiral de autodestrucción que la llevó a la muerte. A matar a la que fue en el pasado para resurgir de sus cenizas, aunque eso significara dejar atrás también a su hermana, a la que tanto quería. Nos habla de pérdida, de sufrimiento, de abuso, de maltrato, pero también de perdón, de segundas oportunidades, de esas conexiones que existen pase el tiempo que pase, del amor verdadero, de las almas gemelas, sean amistades, familia o pareja. Os lo recomiendo si os gustan las historias familiares con secretos que descubrir, mucho dolor, pero también esperanza. Y romance, porque en esta historia también hay lugar para el amor, aunque te hayas empeñado toda tu vida en no buscarlo, no merecerlo o no quererlo. Porque cuando llega, nada puedes hacer por evitarlo. 🧜‍♀️ Tenéis la reseña completa en el blog, ¿os pasáis a verla? Link en la bio (linkup). 🧜‍♀️ Por fin he vuelto al blog con las reseñas, y por aquí, qué ganas tenía. ¿Conocíais esta nueva editorial? Prometía llegar para volver a emocionarnos, y vaya si lo ha hecho con este libro. 🧜‍♀️ 🧜‍♀️ 🧜‍♀️ #Cuandocreiamosenlassirenas #WhenwebelievedinMermaids #BarbaraONeal #LiraEdiciones #vuelveaemocionarte #librosqueemocionan #librosquedejanhuella #botreseña #leoycompartoloquemegusta #leoycomento #leoyrecomiendo #leoyreseño #reseñolibros #bookreader #bookstagramespaña📚 #bookblogger #booksofinstagram #bookstagramcommunity #bookstagrammerespaña #reseñaliteraria #librosyreseñas #librosylecturas #secretosfamiliares #thrillerdomestico #dramafamiliar https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj0p5GfDdsh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“When we believed in Mermaids” by Barbara O’ Neal was a beautifully, tragic story of two long lost sisters. I enjoyed how the story tells you about their sad, dramatic past in both points of view and intertwines the present. They both handled circumstances differently and so sad to me that Josie hated herself so much she “ killed her” to later become Mari in a new country and leaving her past and sister behind. At times I felt the story was anticlimactic considering all they went through but still worth the read and journey. #whenwebelievedinmermaids #barbaraoneal #julesbookshelf https://www.instagram.com/p/CEIpKNlpX7F/?igshid=123o3lhiuj5e
