Summary
Kendra Tamale has found two reasons to face up to her past
When Kendra Tamale returns to England from Australia she rents a room from Kyle, a separated father of two, and begins a new job. She's looking forward to a fresh start and a simple life.
Kyle's six-year-old twins, Summer and Jaxon, have other ideas and quickly adopt Kendra as their new mother - mainly because she lets them eat marshmallows for breakfast. Kendra eventually becomes a part of their lives, even though she's hiding a painful secret that makes her keep everyone - especially children - at arm's length.
Then Kendra bumps into the man who shares her awful secret, and everything falls apart: she can't sleep, she can't eat, she's suspended from work, and the kids are taken away by their mother. The only way to fix things is to confess to the terrible mistake she made all those years ago. But that's something she swore she would never do...
Marshmallows for Breakfast is a tale of redemption, hope and finding love in unexpected places.

Disappointing
I have enjoyed the previous Dorothy Koomson books but this one is disappointing. The characters are a bit thin and I don’t really care about the main protagonist. She’s too good to be true, not a rounded character.
The ‘good’ characters tend to fairly faultless- kind,moral, wise, beautiful. Their mistakes are always found to be someone else’s fault or because they were acting with the highest morals.

Beautiful!!
I loved every minute of this story. Dorothy gently covered a wide range of difficult topics in a beautiful and sensitive manner. It brought my teenage boys to a standstill at times, when they wandered into the kitchen, heard me listening and recognised, marvelled, and commended the use of vocabulary, sensitivity, and reality of the topics and were able to recognise and relate to some of the experiences of the characters, as they had witnessed them in real life.
The narrator, read with sensitivity and care. I could listen to her voice all day. she brought a range of characters to life in a beautiful way.

marshmallows for breakfast - not bad
Good story, prefer this author's suspense stories. Not a bad story though. In parts it did seem to drag on with lots of repartition. There weren't many plot twists, for the most part you could see what was coming.
The Narrator did a good job on voicing the story. She managed to get the right amount of annoying in the childrens voices. Several times I found myself wanting to tell them to be quiet.

The worst book by this author
really I don't understand what this was about. It started with intrigue it moved on to absolutely nothing and ended like a damp squib. Absolutely no characters in the book that were remotely engaging. Really poor interactions and relationships. dreadful
