This novel is a captivating blend of community, love, laughter, and healing, reminiscent of the delightful mix of Cold Feet and David Nicholls, with a delightful twist of Jill Mansell's joy added for good measure. From the outside, Cherry Blossom Mews may not appear to be much, but it is a truly miraculous place. It is a place that finds you, rather than the other way around. Sadie McQueen has leased a double-fronted space in this charming cul-de-sac located in a culturally diverse corner of central London. The cobbled streets muffled the noise of double-decker buses roaring past the arched gates. Turn right and you find yourself in a futuristic maze of corporate glass monoliths. Turn left and you are greeted by a wide street with a variety of houses. Towering above the mews are the deteriorating tower blocks of an infamous estate. The old folks home and the nearby school both need some tender loving care, and the private members club that set up shop in a listed Georgian building has undergone a discreet refurbishment at a considerable expense.

Into this chaotic scene steps Sadie. The moment she twisted her ankle on the cobbles of this street, she fell in love with it. Her double-fronted unit has been transformed into a spa, and she has invested all her money in the lease and refurbishment. She has poured her hopes and dreams into the carefully designed treatment rooms, the serene white reception area, and the cozy flat carved out of the floor above. Sadie has a mission: to connect, to heal herself from the tragedy that has shattered her life. She has wrapped the mews around her like a warm blanket, providing solace and comfort after unimaginable loss and unbearable guilt. However, Sadie's hard-earned peace is threatened not only by the prospect of the mews going under but also by a man aptly named Hero, who awakens her comatose heart.

Sadie has a wealth of experiences and lessons to offer, and she is eager to learn. She discovers that some ghosts are not as supernatural as they seem, and her journey of self-discovery and healing continues to unfold. Juliet Ashton's novels have received widespread praise, and Cherry Blossom Mews is no exception. This captivating story will leave readers feeling uplifted, inspired, and filled with hope.
