Book Synopsis:
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.

My Review:
I was a huge fan of this author’s first book so I was incredibly excited to read more from her. Once again she has written a fantastic, feel good story full of friendship and hope which helped me escape from reality for a little bit.
Firstly I loved the wonderful descriptions of Portugal which is probably the closest thing I’m going to get to a holiday this year. I felt like I was there with the girls, hanging out with them and getting to relax in the wonderful sunshine. I could practically feel myself relax and unwind as I read which I absolutely loved.
The characters are all fantastic creations who I enjoyed getting to know throughout the book. The fact that they are older gave them more depth and meant they bought different qualities to the story than other books I’ve read. There was something extra nice about their friendship group as you could tell that they had been through a lot together. Debs was definitely my favourite character. On the surface she seems like a happy, fun lady but underneath she’s hiding a few insecurities, which made me really warm to her as I share some of the same ones.
As the story develops the reader slowly gets to know the woman and everything that is troubling them all slowly comes out. It was so lovely to see them all help and heal each other throughout the holiday by simply talking and listening to each other. A timely reminder if how empowering female friendship can be.
Huge thanks to Kim for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book.
