Publisher Description
From the bestselling author of Summer at Shell Cottage comes The Year of Taking Chances, a novel full of warmth, humour and romance.
Because love is always worth the risk . . .
It's New Year's Eve, and Gemma and Spencer Bailey are throwing a house party. There's music, dancing, champagne and all their best friends under one roof. It's going to be a night to remember.
Also at the party is Caitlin, who has returned to the village to pack up her much-missed mum's house and to figure out what to do with her life; and Saffron, a PR executive who's keeping a secret which no amount of spin can change. The three women bond over Gemma's dodgy cocktails and fortune cookies, and vow to make this year their best one yet.
But as the months unfold, Gemma, Saffron and Caitlin find themselves tested to their limits by shocking new developments. Family, love, work, home - all the things they've taken for granted are thrown into disarray. Under pressure, they are each forced to rethink their lives and start over. But dare they take a chance on something new?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
From the author: “I wrote two books in one year, which was incredibly stressful. I started writing this one at the start of the year and was thinking, ‘How is everyone feeling in January? What’s going on?’ I love New Year. It’s one of my favourite times where the whole year is stretching ahead and nothing’s gone wrong yet. You feel like you can do anything. There’s a lovely optimism. I wanted to have three women, who were all on the cusp of some big drama, meeting each other, and their lives becoming intertwined. It starts with all their expectations of how the year is going to go being confounded. I love women becoming friends and leaning on one another through difficult times and that’s really what this book is about: the kindness of strangers. I enjoyed writing this book and I don’t always say that. But I’ll never write two books in one year again!”
