Love Always by Harriet Evans

*****5 stars
I am a HUGE Harriet Evans fan. I really looked forward to this book and found that I wasn't disappointed. This was a great read. There was an intensity in this book that I haven't seen in her previous books. Nat, the main character, is given her deceased Aunt Ceily's diary, which died at a young age, so there is Nat's story as well as Ceily's story going on throughout the book. The two are related and it really adds a depth to the book. Love Always deals with how a families dynamic is suspended from secrets and a traumatic incident, which will also help Natasha figure out with everything around her crumbling, how to dig herself out and figure out who she is. This is a book not to be missed.

Book Jacket Summary:
A compelling and heartbreaking tale of lost love, family secrets and those little moments that can change your life for ever.
Natasha Kapoor's life is at a turning point. Leaving London for the magical Cornish coast to attend the funeral of her beloved grandmother, this trip will reunite her with her large and complicated family. As she and her family sort through her grandmother’s possessions and prepare to sell Summercove, the idyllic coastal home that has been in their family for decades, Natasha is given the long-lost diary of her aunt Cecily, who died in a tragic accident at the age of fifteen.
Returning to her home in London’s trendy Shoreditch, Natasha must get back to normality – to her job as a jewelery designer and to her soon-to-be ex-husband. But how can she forget the tragic tale of love, rivalry and heartbreak that emerged from the pages of Cecily’s diary? And will Cecily’s words, though written forty years ago, inspire Natasha to take a chance on love?
