The Liberation of Bella McCaa by Catherine Aitken

My Review Thank you @catherineaitken @KellyALacey @lovebookstours #Ad #LBTCrew #BookTwitter #FreeReview #FreeBookReview for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The Liberation of Bella McCaa is a romance comedy genre. It took me a chapter to get into the story, but after that, I loved and thought Bella was a wonderful character. Bella gives up her life to look after her mum and then her Mum dies and she's hoping she can relive her life again in London doing the job she loves, but it does not out like that. The story made me smile in places, and Bella seems like a lovely person and devoted to her aunt. The story is well written and heart-warming story. I liked the twists and turns that came, and I didn't see them coming at all. A great read and cant wait to read more by Catherine Aiken. I strongly recommend. It's engaging and entertaining. 5 stars Blurb Bella wants her life back but life keeps getting in the way. Here’s what some early readers have said: ‘It was funny, tragic and uplifting all at once, I couldn’t put it down.’ ‘Realistic and romantic with great humour.’ ‘I burst into tears at the end, I was so moved.’ When Bella McCaa is released from ten years as sole carer to a very demanding mother, she’s desperate to leave Dundee and pick up the threads of her once high-flying career in London. Fifty-two isn’t too late to start again, is it? But fate, and family, intervene, and rather than speeding South in her trusty Mini, Bella’s plans go awry and she finds herself living far from friends, facing an empty bank account and urgently in need of a job. London and reclaiming her life seem more distant than ever. To complicate matters further her first love, Jem, strides into town – handsome, successful and stirring up a tempest of emotions. But Jem’s arrival is also the catalyst to unearthing long-buried secrets, shattering Bella’s view of the world and making her question everything. Can Bella negotiate a whirlwind ride of unexpected curveballs, love and second chances to find a happy every after on her own terms? About the author Catherine always wanted to be a writer and couldn't believe her luck when her first job was as an office junior for Jackie Magazine. But wanderlust took her travelling until she segued into a career in the film and TV industry, eventually working in script development and producing drama. Now she is concentrating on her own stories and The Liberation of Bella McCaa is her first novel. Catherine was born in Dundee but now lives in Edinburgh where she's writing her next book.
