So this year I am planning.. hoping on doing slightly more detailed book reviews. My first read of the year was The Mother in Law by Sally Hepworth. I won it via GoodReads. Synopsis - Someone once told me that you have two families in your life - the one you are born into and the one you choose. Yes, you may get to choose your partner, but you don't choose your mother-in-law. The cackling mercenaries of fate determine it all. From the moment Lucy met Diana, she was kept at arm's length. Diana is exquisitely polite, but Lucy knows, even after marrying Oliver, that they'll never have the closeness she'd been hoping for. But who could fault Diana?

The tables and chairs we rented from a lo
