Coming Home To The Windmill By The Sea By Caroline Young

When her father dies unexpectedly, Beth Macintosh leaves her high-powered career in London and rushes home to the island of Anglesey to be by her mother’s side. Stepping into the converted windmill she once called home, Beth is flooded with memories of her childhood spent on the island, before she left at eighteen to pursue her big-city dreams.

Crossing paths with Megan Williams is inevitable. Beth hasn’t spoken to her former best friend for fifteen years, not since the betrayal that shattered their friendship and set the women on different paths. While Beth spread her wings, painful secrets kept Megan tethered to the island and a life of isolation, supported only by her brother Ioan, who yearns for the love he once felt for Beth.

Confused about the feelings her memories of the island stir, Beth searches for solace on the beaches she and Megan loved as girls. But when the two friends meet again, and Megan confesses the truth about what drove them apart all those years ago, a fragile new bond begins to grow between the women. As Beth rediscovers the stark beauty of her childhood home, Megan opens her heart to the possibility of a renewed friendship, and hope of a brighter future. Can the two former friends overcome the pain of the past and come together to find the happiness they both deserve?

My Review

Eddie returns to Scotland to support his injured brother Mick, joining an air ambulance crew where he’s attracted to coworker Jodie, who’s hesitant due to past trauma. Their relationship evolves from friendship to a secret fling, but Jodie’s fears cause her to pull away. Eddie’s patience helps them reconcile. The book explores their emotional journey amidst vivid medical events. Although the story felt rushed, I’m curious to see how the series develops in the next book.
