Apart from the Crowd

There are some books you want to give more than a five star rating to. This book was one of those for me. It's also a new author for me, but I'll definitely be reading more of her books. This book started out really slow and I wasn't sure if I'd even finish it, but it picked up after a few chapters and by the time I was halfway through I couldn't put it down.

It's about Mary who has lived in the small Irish town of Kenmare for her entire life and the things that have happened to her.

It's also about Sam a film-star handsome American who has just finished rehab from a heroin addiction who moves into the cottage next door to Mary. He's moved there because it's where his beloved late grandmother grew up.

It's also about Penny, Mary's best friend, and how she doesn't handle the end of a love affair well and turns to alcohol as a replacement.

It's about people in a small town where everyone knows everyone else's business. And it's one of the best books I've read in awhile!!
