This is a second chance will they/won't they romance Where fate keeps intervening to give them another chance. They met as teens and fell in love back then But then were torn apart again. The story is told from both points of view With flashback filling the past events in, too. But both are married to other people at the start And seem reluctant from their spouse to finally part. Neither have managed to follow their teenage dreams Both are unhappy with how their life now seems. Can they take a chance on each other once more Or will fate have them showing them the door? A moving story dealing with issues galore With children, partners, grief, cancer and more. A story of daring to step away and part In order to help you make a fresh start. I'm never comfortable with adultery as a key But this is so much more as readers will soon see. There are plenty of problems as they set off to discover That love brings happiness to one another. You're never certain how things will work out in the end But I really liked the support given by Anna's friend. That ending had me feeling oh so sad But overall it is positive and for that I'm glad. For my complementary copy of this book I say thank you. I very different read and this is my honest review.
Marie Kondo for the soul.
Anna and Will have been passing in and out of each other’s lives since they were just kids.
Now 20 years later, Anna is married – she has a lovely house, a step daughter in university and a husband with a good job.
What she doesn’t have is joy. When she runs into Will it sparks something in her, a longing for the Anna she used to be.
Together they embark on a journey to find what brings them joy, to discard what doesn’t and to become the people they always wanted to be.
But in finding themselves, can they also find each other?
