Synopsis

Kendra Tamale has found two reasons to face up to her past

When Kendra Tamale returns to England from Australia she rents a room from Kyle, a separated father of two, and begins a new job. She's looking forward to a fresh start and a simple life.

Kyle's six-year-old twins, Summer and Jaxon, have other ideas and quickly adopt Kendra as their new mother - mainly because she lets them eat marshmallows for breakfast. Kendra eventually becomes a part of their lives, even though she's hiding a painful secret that makes her keep everyone -especially children - at arm's length.

Then Kendra bumps into the man who shares her awful secret, and everything falls apart: she can't sleep, she can't eat, she's suspended from work, and the kids are taken away by their mother. The only way to fix things is to confess to the terrible mistake she made all those years ago. But that's something she swore she would never do...
Marshmallows for Breakfast is a tale of redemption, hope and finding love in unexpected places.

Goodreads review by Aleksandra on April 26, 2016

Zanimljiva priča o Kendri, koja se, progonjena vlastitim demonima prošlosti, nađe u središtu životne drame privlačnog stanodavca Kyla, koji ostaje sa dvoje djece nakon što ga je napustila supruga. Malo po malo, ali baš malo po malo, raspetljava se jedna po jedna od priča koje je Koomson zapetljala u......more

Temas muito fortes que nos fazem reflectir. As personagens estão muito bem conseguidas como é hábito desta autora. As histórias que se entrecruzam despertam o nosso interesse.
