The blurb:
When Evelyn Dooley married
her high-school sweetheart, James, she thought she was set for
life. Now she’s 28, single, and fleeing to Dublin from her small hometown to
avoid the gossip surrounding their break-up.
This was not in her five-year plan.
Then a chance encounter with gorgeous musician Danny leads to an unlikely friendship, and soon the
pair are running music nights together. Surrounded by new friends and a
welcoming community, Evelyn is building a life that she really loves – and
sparks are beginning to fly between her and Danny…
But when her savings run out and home beckons,
Evelyn has to choose. The safe, comfortable life she left behind, or a new
adventure with Danny? Will Evelyn flee back to the familiarity of her ex, or
reach for the stars and take a leap into the unknown?
A laugh-out-loud, feel-good story of friendship, second chances, and
romance, perfect for fans of Mhairi McFarlane, Lindsey Kelk and Marian Keyes.
My Opinion:
*Book
provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review*
Evelyn Dooley is 28 years old, single and her marriage
with high-school sweetheart James is in the past. That was definitely not the
plan and she leaves her hometown for Dublin.
She makes new friends, builds a life she’s enjoying
and meets gorgeous musician Danny. I really enjoyed their scenes and following
them around was so much fun. However, her savings run out and she has to make a
life changing choice: a new adventure with Danny or the safe life back home.
Of course there are stones and obstacles in the way,
which don’t make it any easier and for the reader of of course it’s more
exciting and entertaining.
I heard some people say the title is misleading, which
I don’t agree with. Reaching for the stars can mean being courageous and brave
to start a new adventure and I really think it fits the story.
I think the book has a great message and it’s cleverly
integrated in the story. The romantic parts are also a highlight and in general
I think it’s such an uplifting, fresh, charming and bubbly story.
