Would you abandon your present for a second chance at your past?
Cecelia Reynolds has spent most of her life trying to forget the commitment-phobic man who broke her heart. It wasn’t easy, but eventually she did it, or so she thought…
As Cecelia and her husband gather for a friend’s wedding, her perfect world is thrown into complete turmoil. Even though it’s been twenty years since she last laid eyes on Keith Emerson, all it takes is one glance for her to feel emotions she thought were long gone. When Keith ends up officiating the ceremony, she quickly realizes his message of love is directed at her, not the happy couple. But can she believe him?
We live our entire lives thinking we know ourselves. But do we ever really?
As secrets and lies cause Cecelia’s world to spin completely out of control, she is forced to seek advice from the most unlikely ally. In the process, she must confront the demons of her past and the events that shaped her into the woman she is now. Will she finally learn the real meaning of love, friendship, and family?
While this book is a sequel to Plan Bea, it also reads as a standalone.
Book that had me interested from the first few pages, I just had to find out more about Cecelia and Keith.
Just what was Keith all about and why did his presence at Beatrice's wedding cause Cee so many problems?
As the story progressed, I struggled to have much sympathy at times with Cee, its not that she is a bad person, just seemed to struggle to make good decisions.
Then again I wasn't overly enamoured by Keith either. In fact the characters I liked the best were Bryce, Cee's husband, and Walter, Beatrice's husband.
This is the sequel to Plan Bea, and although you don't need to have read the first book to know what is going on in this one, it does give a better foundation for your knowledge of some of the characters.
I enjoyed the writing, and the story is a reasonably quick one to read. I was though surprised by the rather abrupt ending, especially as the book finished at 89% which I found slightly off putting.
Overall I have enjoyed the second book that I have read by the author and I will be curious to see what the next one will be.
Thank you to Hilary Grossman for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
Thank you so much for reviewing Plan Cee!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for mentioning your feelings about the 89% - I will take that into consideration for the next book (or possibly even change now...)
