Everything Changes but You by Sarah Bennett

 💖💖💖💖💖/5

Everything Changes but You by Sarah Bennett, book two in the Halfmoon Quay series is a wonderful, heartwarming, uplifting story of hope and love and second chance, set in the small Cornish village of Halfmoon Quay. Liam Penrose, eldest of four brothers, and Issy Kernow were childhood sweethearts, but lost touch after Liam went away to boarding school. After school Liam went to university and then to London for a high flying career in financial services, whilst Issy stayed in Halfmoon Quay, living with her grandmother after her parents died in a boating accident; starting the Cosy Coffee Pot.

 

Liam returns home for a sabbatical from his job, as he is burnt out from his high powered job and parted ways with his girlfriend.  His Great Uncle Davy threw him for a loop by turning over the family hotel to him. Not sure what to do, Liam decides to look into the hotel, whether or not he wants to return home permanently, if he can renovate the hotel and make it successful, and reconnect with Issy.

 

It has been 15 years since they have spoken a civil word go each other. Issy was his first girlfriend, the love of his life. She broke up with him after he first left for school by never replying to any of his letters. Issy herself is also very torn because Liam was the love of her life and he broke up with her, replying to any of her letters. This meant someone meddled into their lives, but were confused as to who or why. One thing for sure, the attraction and connection between Liam and Issy never died out; strong as ever. Spending time together and getting reacquainted, Liam and Issy rebuild the strong attraction and chemistry between them, creating a lifelong, adult relationship.

Ms. Bennett wrote a wonderful, enjoyable, emotional, cozy story of lost love, misunderstandings, family, friendship and fun; introducing the community of Halfmoon Quay, across all the generations with their interactions. I loved that each had thei own support groups: Liam and his brothers, Issy and “the girls”. I enjoyed the sensitive way in which Liam tried to help Issy overcome her fear of the sea. I was captured by this story, hoping Liam would make the right choice placing happiness over financial security. It’s a lovely story, a good summer read. I can’t wait to read the next Penrose brother’s story in this series.
