'Wise and wonderful' VERONICA HENRY
'Poignant, yet uplifting and comforting' MY WEEKLY
The McKenzies are your average complicated family: knotted together by in-jokes, arguments and a few closely-guarded secrets. Thirty-something sisters Leni and Alice became inseparable following the divorce of their parents, Belinda and Tony, with younger brother Will always trying to keep up. They're not perfect, but they love each other - most of the time, anyway.
But then one ordinary summer day, an accident changes the family forever. Questions arise, guilt surfaces and secrets begin to emerge. Scattered by grief and seeking comfort in the unlikeliest of places, can the McKenzies find their way back to each other?
Set over the course of one life-changing year, The Best Days of Our Lives is a warm, big-hearted and poignant story, full of hope, heartache and love.

Review: As someone who has lost a sister, goodness, this book was an emotional roller coaster. There is real depth to the characters and you can feel their heartache and struggles as they try to rebuild their lives that will never quite be the same again. They make mistakes but also achieve new insights and highs along the way. I loved Alice and felt every step of her emotional journey. There were a lot of characters to follow at first, but I soon found my way with them and followed their family connections with interest. The story made me cry and laugh and experience all the emotions between; it was another great Lucy Diamond read.

Review: Something new and long-awaited from @LDiamondAuthorFrom the first pages - it's really something new and does not look like the authorâs other books. But not bad new, but interesting new. A tear dropped on the first pages.

Review: I found this a bit of a slow burn. It's quite a gentle pootle through a year following a family tragedy. It starts with them all in quite a dark place and I did struggle with that initially but ultimately this is a touching and satisfying read.
