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.

Easily Jessica Redland's best novel so far.  The amount of heart and depth that has gone into it is astounding.

For those who have read the author before there are some familiar places and people cropping up, but it is 100% a standalone novel featuring 3 brand new leading ladies. 

Karen, Alison and Danniella, what an inspirational group you are. They all start the book without knowing each other,  and all having problems in their lives. 

It is their combined new friendship that gives them the strength to overcome old demons. 

There are plenty of secrets to discover, emotional topics dealt with and so much more besides. 

It is clear a lot of research must have gone into this novel especially for Danniella's story line.  At times I was smiling and at others I had a lump in my throat. 

Beautiful writing and another amazing book from this incredibly talented author. 

Thank you to Boldwood Books on Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
