Blog Tour: Always on my Mind by Beth Moran*

 

'When Jessie left home at eighteen, she swore she’d never go back. But when life takes a turn for the complicated, she’s forced to move in with her twin, Isaac, and his two best friends. To her dismay, one of these is Elliot, the boy Jessie once loved, until his life was changed forever by a terrible accident that Jessie still blames herself for.

Cohabiting with three alarmingly unhouse-trained males was not in Jessie’s life plan so when Isaac, Elliot and Arthur offer her a generous rent discount if she’ll help them with their ‘Boys to Men Project’, designed to end years of disastrous dating, she reluctantly accepts the challenge.

As Jessie embraces the comfort of being home, revelling in her new job at her parents’ day centre full of people determined to grow old disgracefully, she realises her housemates aren’t the only ones needing to make some changes. And maybe, if she can finally forgive herself for Elliot’s accident, she can start to look forward to a future, with or without him by her side.'

This is the story of Jessie and it is told over the course of 40 Chapters plus a prologue. Now this may seem like a long book, but when you get invested in this story those chapters soon fly by!

This book is easy to get stuck into and really grips the reader right from the very start. From learning about Jessie when she was younger to finding out how she came to be in her current situation. 

Jessie on her own is a brilliant character and is trying to move on from a childhood accident she believes is her fault. Add in her roommates that include her twin brother, his best friend (aka who she once loved), and the funeral director you get an interesting mix of characters in one story. 

When it comes to the background characters it is hard for readers not to fall in love with them and I am not talking about in a romantic sense. From the 'Outlaws' to the 'Harriers' this book is full of interesting characters that readers will adore. 

Now let me tell you about the Author Beth Moran, who is an author of four novels that includes the bestselling Christmas Every day. She is regularly features on BBC Radio Nottingham and is a trustee of the national women's network Free Range Chicks. Beth lives on the outskirts of Sherwood Forest.

Overall this was a heart warming read that readers will love. This is a Brothers best friend, young love, redemption story that is sure to delight the readers. Whether they are already a fan of Beth's or not. You can get your copy HERE.

Until Next Time
