So, when she gets the opportunity to move to Nightingale Square, sharing a house with the lovely Eli, she jumps at the chance.

Change isn't easy for either of them. But it's not impossible. If they do something BIG, could the next half of their lives be the best half?

Jodie Jackson is leaving her London life, her career and her husband behind. She'd like a chance to turn back the clocks, but she'll settle for some peace and quiet on her brother Bill's houseboat. But from the moment Jodie steps aboard her new home, it's clear she'll struggle to keep herself to herself. If it isn't Marilyn, who cleans for Bill and is under strict instructions to look after Jodie, then it's Ned, the noisy sculptor on the next-door houseboat. Ned's wood carving is hard on the ears, but it's made up for by the fact that he's rather easy on the eyes.

Joy has been to some of the most beautiful places in the world - but none of them have ever felt like home. So moving into a tiny cottage in the idyllic village of Bramble Hill seems like the perfect plan. That is, until she gets there. The surly inhabitants of Britain’s Friendliest Village are anything but welcoming. Even her neighbour, reclusive Hollywood star Finn Mackenzie, takes one look at her and walks in the other direction. But when the village animosity steps up a gear, it is the infuriatingly brooding Finn who keeps coming to her rescue.

Summary
April Statham had it all - until her husband left her for a blonde 10 years her junior. Now she’s 35, single and starting again. So she does what anyone in her position would do: she impulsively invests her life savings in the chalet park she used to visit as a child, on the beautiful Cornish Coast.
The Shady Pines Chalet Park is...ramshackle. But it has one big advantage - it is as far as physically possible from April’s ex, his new fiancée and her old life. With gorgeous handyman Cillian O’Leary, April is looking forward to the challenge.
As visitors arrive, April realises that Shady Pines isn’t just a second chance for her, it gives Cillian another shot at happiness, too.
But when he moves into the chalet next door, April’s painful past starts to catch up with her and she struggles to reconcile her feelings for Cillian.
Is April’s new beginning destined to end in failure - or will she find new friends, a new life and new love at her second-chance hotel?
Fans of Jenny Colgan, Emma Davies and Debbie Johnson will love Rachel Dove!

Disappointing
Kitty Kellys voice for the character April was un pleasant and far too many unecessary accents with all the characters she just needed to read the story, difficult to listen too. Sadly the story was disjointed, dragged out and boreing.
