If you ever need some inspiration to live life to the full, then I urge you to visit Cathy Bramley's social media pages. She has been an inspiration to me for so long and her books have been firm favourites on my shelves for years. Somewhere Only We Know is perhaps the very best of them all - with an extra special dose of Cathy Bramley's 'heart' in the pages.

I read it when it was first published in hardback and will be reading it all over again now that it's out in the world in paperback (stunning cover by the way!).

'This book will break your heart fairly early on, and then put it all back together again. It is very real, very raw, and very emotional. A brilliant storyline that follows Maggie as she undertakes the gap-year that her daughter, Bronte, can no longer do.'

Our paperback copies all have signed bookplates, thanks Cathy! And a matching 'ticket' style bookmark.

An inspiring book full of courage, beautiful messages and the hope that despite everything, it’s not impossible to find laughter, and love, again. And don't we all need that reminder every so often?

When I was planning Somewhere Only We Know, I wanted to write a book full of love and discovery and kindness, about a woman who realised that although one chapter of her life had ended, there were still new adventures to be had. I wanted it to be hopeful and joyful and uplifting. So if that sounds like the sort of story you need, you’ll be pleased to know that the ebook is only 99p right now.

"Cathy Bramley's best book to date!" Well this is a lovely review!Well quite simply put this in my opinion is Cathy Bramley's best book to date. Do not be fooled by the cover your not going to get some fluffy light hearted forgettable romance, this one is an emotive read that follows Maggie who after the tragic death of her daughter and navigating both the grieving process as well and a void that has been left decides that she is going to embark on her daughter gap year travel plans in her daughters place.

We journey along with Maggie as she visits a number of exotic places as she takes on different challenges and sees different sites but more than that we watch as she goes on a journey of healing and self discovery.

I was really touched by this book and it was clear to see that the author has not only done extensive research for this book but has also literally poured her heart and soul into this book and it can be felt in every chapter. Although for some this may not be a tear jerker if you are lucky enough to not relate to the subject matter in any way, you will still find it emotionally charged.

I really did't want this book to end or to leave Maggie behind because she really was a courageous and remarkable woman but what I will say is the ending was a wholesome one that left me with a hopeful smile on my face. Orion Publishing Group Cathy Bramley
