It Started with a Secret
Description
Feel-good chick-lit from international bestseller Jill Mansell, with a chaotic cast who must let go of their grudges and secrets to build the lives they've dreamed of.
Thanks to little white lie, Lainey and Kit arrive at their new jobs in blissful, summery Cornwall only to find themselves in the midst of a lovable but overwhelming family—where every family member is having an identity crisis at the same time.
Widowed mom Majella has done her best for years, but can't quite grasp why things are falling apart. No one can guess what's causing the chaos because everyone is keeping secrets.
In classic Jill Mansell style, Lainey and her friends are drawn through a hilarious multi-generational soap opera. By the end, happily-ever-afters are available to anyone willing to tell the truth about their heart's desire.
Romantic fiction with characters you can root for, this is the perfect beach read for fans of Sophie Kinsella and Elin Hilderbrand.

Both authors focus on the personal lives of villagers and small communities. Quirky and eccentric characters young and old search for romance, friendship, and better ties with family. Each author's novels are heartwarming and amusing with a cozy feel. Whereas Mansell writes standalones, Colgan writes series around the same characters. -- Sarah Davis
