Title: The Second Chance Holiday Club
The delightfully heartwarming and funny debut, perfect for fans of Judy Leigh, Hazel Prior and Maddie Please.
It's never too late to change the habits of a lifetime...
Evelyn Pringle isn't the sort to make rash decisions. Or any decisions, really – she's always left that sort of thing up to her husband. But he's been found dead, wearing his best suit, with a diamond ring in his pocket that doesn't fit her. When Evelyn finds a letter addressed to a woman on the Isle of Wight, she decides to deliver it. By hand.
So begins a very unusual holiday, and an adventure no one could have predicted – least of all Evelyn herself. With the help of some unexpected new friends, and a little effort on her part, Evelyn discovers that it's never too late to have a second chance at life and forge friendships that are well-worth living for.
It took me a while to completely warm to Evelyn, but once I did I really enjoyed this book.
Especially once we discover just what a scumbag her husband really is, and not just for the reason we are initially led to believe.
It's the reason why Evelyn against her normal personality books a short coach trip to the Isle of Wight over Christmas, in the hopes of getting some answers.
However she isn't great at mixing with people, and there are two other ladies on this trip that seem determined to befriend her.
Which turns into a rather unlikely alliance, and I was certainly surprised by the twist in Joy's story too.
I really enjoyed this debut novel, and am intrigued to see what the author writes next.
Thank you to Aria and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
