Summary

Everyone deserves a chance at happiness....

Danniella is running from her past, so when she arrives at the beautiful seaside resort of Whitsborough Bay, the last thing on her mind is making friends. After all, they might find out her secrets....

Alison is fun, caring and doesn't take herself too seriously. But beneath the front, she is a lost soul, stuck in a terrible relationship, with body confidence issues and no family to support her. All she really needs is a friend.

Karen's romance has taken a back seat to her fitness business. But she doesn’t want to give up on love quite yet. If only those mysterious texts would stop coming through....

When the women meet at their local bootcamp, a deep friendship blossoms. And soon they realise that the secret to happiness is where they least expected to find it....

An uplifting story of friendship and finding the strength to come to terms with the past. Perfect for fans of Tilly Tennant and Cathy Bramley.

Laugh, cringe, cry, resonate

Absolutely loved this book. Initially accessed as an Audible inclusive, although I ran out of time and 100% worthy of spending a credit on to finish.
Investment in the characters happens very quickly and the twists and turns are very relatable.
Great story. Great narration and cannot wait to listen to more from this author. 10/10!!

Incredible!!!

What an incredible book. I loved it the whole way through. It was on here as a limited time read, and I made sure I read the whole lot before it went off. Not that I wouldn’t have most probably brought it to finish off reading. This will be a book I could easily read again ♥️ I loved the characters and the narrator reading this was just right!!!

Excellent book for audio

I have enjoyed Audible’s books that have been included with membership and this is one of the best I have listened to so far. It is what one would call “easy listening”. Good story, good narrator and a lovely outcome. The subjects addressed in the story many of us can relate to at least one.
