Under the Lemon Tree
by
Emma Cowell

Could discovering a family secret encourage Kat to follow her heart?

Shattered by the sudden loss of her twin, Nik, Kat is lost in grief. The comfort of family feels both soothing and suffocating, but everything changes when she inherits a house on the breathtaking Greek island of Agistri from a mysterious uncle she’s never met.

Arriving on Agistri, Kat is mesmerized by its crystalline waters, lush pine forests, and the citrus-scented air. Among the white-washed houses and warm, welcoming locals, she begins to feel her heart heal. The island offers more than solace, sparking courage in Kat to face her loss ― and maybe even embrace the spark of unexpected love…

But as she unearths her family’s buried past, Kat must also confront her own fears of belonging, forgiveness ― and the possibility of rediscovering happiness in the shadow of heartbreak…


REVIEW

Kat is grieving the loss of her twin brother Nik when she finds out she has inherited a house on the Greek island of Agistri from an uncle she had never met. She decides to go and see what the house is like and take some time out when she literally bumps into a man at the airport and spills her drink over him (she is seriously clumsy!). He is quite rude to her and the more she tries to apologise, the angrier he gets.

The house needs a lot of work and so Kat gets stuck in, but it's not long before she meets her neighbour, who turns out to be the rude passenger from the airport! but this time he seems to have mellowed and Kat cannot take her eyes off him! 

As Kat sets to work on renovating the house, she is also getting to know her neighbour! but little does Kat know that the island also holds some family secrets that put her family dynamic in jeopardy.

I really loved this book. It had a great mixture of characters with Kate going through every emotion from grief to love to happiness, sometimes all on the same page! I thoroughly enjoy this author's books.
