Sophie Honeywell always wondered if Thomas Gordon was the one she let get away. He was the perfect boyfriend, but on the day he was to propose, she broke his heart. A year later he married his travel agent, while Sophie has been mortifyingly single ever since. Now Thomas is back in her life because Sophie has unexpectedly inherited his aunt Connie's house on Scribbly Gum Island-home of the famously unsolved Munro Baby mystery.
Sophie moves onto the island and begins a new life as part of an unconventional family where it seems everyone has a secret. Grace, a beautiful young mother, is feverishly planning a shocking escape from her perfect life. Margie, a frumpy housewife, has made a pact with a stranger, while dreamy Aunt Rose wonders if maybe it's about time she started making her own decisions.
As Sophie's life becomes increasingly complicated, she discovers that sometimes you have to stop waiting around—and come up with your own fairy-tale ending.

Loved it. Moriarty does an amazing job of making you relate to the characters even if they're nothing like you. I could read this book again and again!
2.5* With about 100 pages to go I was thinking this was a 4 star read until I read the most biphobic sentence i almost put the book down. I kept reading due to my overly curious nature thinking i just HAD to know what the twist would be.. to find there was no twist. At least not one i didn't see coming since page 30. Completely and utterly disappointed by the endings to the plot lines throughout the book. The most compelling part to this book is the very last page which I have to admit did give me a giggle.
There was also far too many baby related themes throughout this book for my personal enjoyment.
Disclaimer: I'd probably rate this 3.5 stars if i wasnt so pissed off by the blatant biphobia. Sick to death of there being hardly any bisexual representation in books.
3.5 stars, rounded up because I like this author. Quick, easy read. Not a bad story.. just not my favorite of hers.
