Wow what a great book
This book is absolutely fantastic, it takes you on an emotional roller coaster, you cry with the characters and laugh with them. I absolutely loved the character and their dynamic and I could t stop listening, I just had to find out what happens. I now cannot wait for the 6th instalment as I need to see what happens to Izzy and Noah, as the ending was so perfect cannot wait to see their story continue, and also we need Ella’s wedding to Dan. It was also lovely as a sun plot to have Frankie come into things more and hopefully she will get her own book. I would highly recommend this book, excellent from start to finish

I couldn't wait to read and listen to this as I've listened to all of the books so far, so it was like visiting old friends. This is Izzys story and it is certainly an emotional one! The Cornish Midwife's are amazing and I do hope there will be more books as there are still a few characters I would like to know more about.
