Ever After

From the bestselling author of The Girl in the Corner and Swimming to Lundy, comes a hopeful and inspiring story about the possibilities that await when you dare to start again.

If you’re given another chance at love, shouldn’t you take it?

Enya’s life has become small. Her husband’s death has left her bereft, and though she’s only in her early fifties, she’s happiest looking after her son, Aiden, his childhood sweetheart, Holly, and her beloved cat, Pickle.

So the spark she feels for the stranger who bumps into her car in the airport car park is a complete shock. But Enya can’t stop thinking about him.

Then, when Aiden makes a life-changing decision, Enya suddenly finds her close-knit community thrown into chaos. Her best friend, Jenny, isn’t speaking to her, Aiden’s future hangs in the balance, Holly is devastated, and the stranger from the car park is suddenly in her life.

Torn between family, love and loyalty, Enya faces a dilemma: stay safely where she is, or take a leap into the unknown? Because maybe her happily-ever-after could have one more chapter yet…

Amazing!

Her endings! They get me every time! Chills! A superb book that feeds the soul what it needs. Just the right amount of every emotion.

A feel good midlife crisis

An engaging story about a woman in her fifties who lost her husband three years before. Her son has been with his girlfriend for 10 years but has to go Rome for some training. That trip to the airport turned her world, and his upside down.

Finding purpose & love later in life

Could easily relate to the main character who had lost her husband and lived for others. The plot was predictable, but intriguing nevertheless. The performance was beautiful!

Worst nightmare (spoilers)

This book is a very pretty Bowtied version of what could really happen if your worst nightmare comes to life. The love of your life leaves on a trip and comes back and no longer loves you plus surprise you’re with child. It’s not told from her perspective but rather the mother of the son who is unfortunately being blamed and attacked as if she was the one whose it all happen. It’s such a beautiful telling of how to handle unexpected life from all directions. I would definitely suggest reading it!

Great plot, but dragged out

Great plot overall, but a lot of repetition in the storytelling that dragged it out for longer than it needed to be.
