Title: Sunshine and Second Chances
It’s never too late to be offered a second chance at life.
Debs is newly single, Fiona is caring for her mum, Samantha is grieving, and Liv has the perfect life – or so she’d like her friends to think…
This year, these four life-long friends are turning fifty, and Liv is determined they will honour their promise to each other – made on a beach at sunrise twenty-nine years before – to celebrate this milestone together.
And what better place than a gorgeous villa where they will be spoiled and enjoy the stunning beaches, picturesque fishing towns and glorious climate of the Algarve?
But time away from home doesn’t always make the heart grow fonder. Sometimes it makes the thought of returning to your life too hard to bear. Especially with more than one gorgeous Portuguese man making hearts unexpectedly flutter...
It begins as a reunion in the sunshine, but little do the four friends know what life-changing decisions they’ll all be making before their flight home.
A heart-warming, feel-good summer read about friendship, love and second chances.
Left me with a smile on my face. Such a heartwarming and just lovely story.
Meet Debs, Liv, Fiona and Samantha, four ladies in the prime of their life, friends but they haven't seen each other much over the years, but had always said they would go away in or around their 50th birthdays.
And where better than the villa Liv has organised in the Algarve, a week of of being able to reconnect with each other and where they all need to make decisions about what their lives will be like going forward.
What a holiday it is, there is fantastic food, some great excursions, some relaxation and a lot of good conversation between the friends.
It was Debs and Liv's stories that were the strongest and I think we did get to know them better than the other ladies, whereas although I had no issues with Samantha I just didn't really connect with her.
Whereas from the start Liv is introduced to us as a mother of 2 (well 3 if you count how her husband treats her), and generally all around unpaid lackey. I could understand her frustrations and was curious to see just what decisions she may come to.

And then Debs, she is a comfort eater, is recently single and seems to be stuck in a bit of a rut. She has no self confidence, and was almost tempted to not go on the holiday as a result. Yet slowly buy surely as the week progresses she really comes into herself... and it may or may not have something to do with the villa's gardener!
This is a perfect read for these troubled times, it is full of heart, and with its gorgeous location, giving me a taste of Portugal from the comfort of my armchair, and made me feel as though I was one of the ladies on this trip.
Another incredibly enjoyable book from the talented Kim Nash, an author who is becoming more and more accomplished with each story.
Thank you to the author for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
Sounds like a good read. AS I have it on my Kindle, that's just as well. Another great review, Rachel. Thanks!
