Tori Williamson is alone. After a tragic event left her isolated from her loved ones, she’s been struggling to find her way back to, well – herself. That’s why she set up her blog, The Beginner’s Guide to Loneliness, as a way of – anonymously – connecting with the outside world and reaching others who just need a little help sometimes.
When she’s offered a free spot on a wellbeing retreat in exchange for a review on her blog, Tori is anxious about opening herself up to new surroundings. But after her three closest friends – who she talks to online but has never actually met – convince her it’ll do her some good, she reluctantly agrees and heads off for three weeks in the wild (well, a farm in Wales).
From the moment she arrives, Tori is sceptical and quickly finds herself drawn to fellow sceptic Than, the retreat’s dark and mysterious latecomer. But as the beauty of The Farm slowly comes to light she realizes that opening herself up might not be the worst thing. And sharing a yurt with fellow retreater Bay definitely isn’t. Will the retreat be able to fix Tori? Or will she finally learn that being lonely doesn’t mean she’s broken . . .
My Review
Oh wow where do I begin, this is a truly fantastic read. The story itself I think over this last year or so that so many people will able to relate to this and feel for Tori. I also feel this book will help a lot of people feel happier with their lives. The way the author has written this book is beautiful and it is so easy to read. There is a real modern feel to this book which makes it feel current and real life.
The main character Tori is a fabulous strong woman, she’s been through so much but still manages to keep going. Another thing I loved about her is how she wants to help people, shes just such a kind and caring person. Honestly I just had my fingers crossed for a happy ending for her.
I am definitely looking forward to reading more from this author as this was a brilliant book. I highly recommend this!
