She knew immediately that whatever she did next, she would wish she had done differently.

A secret love which has a whole town talking... and a small boy very worried. Lydia Weekes is distraught at the break-up of her marriage. When her young son, Charlie, makes friends with the local doctor, Jean Markham, her life is turned upside down. Charlie tells his secrets to no one but the bees, but even he can't keep his mother's friendship to himself. The locals don't like things done differently. As Lydia and the doctor become closer, the rumours start to fly and threaten to shatter Charlie's world.

A bit slow and predictable, but still a pleasant read.

A coworker recommended this book to me and it was really good! It was a little slow in the beginning but I loved how everything came together at the end.

We reviewed the book and the recent film adaptation in our book club/podcast. The consensus was that the book was about falling in love and the film was about f**king.

My favourite lesbians... both the book and movie make me so happy. Personally, I prefer it over Carol
