Walking on Sunshine The perfect uplifting summer read from million-copy Sunday Times bestselling author Heidi Swain

Walking on Sunshine is one of the happiest, warmest books I’ve read in a long time. It follows Tilly as she travels to the village of Willowell to honour her late father’s memory - and unexpectedly finds a place that feels like home. The friendships she forms, the gentle sense of community, and the beautiful woodland setting create a wonderfully uplifting atmosphere. The romance is tender and slow‑burn, with a lovely balance of chemistry and emotional depth. Tilly’s personal growth is handled with care, and the story explores themes of grief, belonging, new beginnings, and the importance of mental wellbeing. The writing is easy to follow, summery, and full of positivity - exactly the kind of comforting read you want when you need something hopeful. Perfect for readers who enjoy cosy village settings, nature‑focused stories, and heartfelt adult romance.
