Betsy had been feeling that her marriage to David had been dwindling for sometime. She had mentally laid out her 3 options:
Option 1 - stay & accept things for what they are....unlikely....🤔
Option 2. - Move. Give up & slink away with my tail between my legs....possibility....🤔
Option 3 - Stay & fight....undecided....🙄
Whilst driving 🚗 home, & listening to the radio 📻 she is distracted by an 'expert' giving a woman advice on how to pep up her relationship, 💑 & refers the caller ☎️ to her 30 day plan. Betty laughs & dismisses it as the expert always does the same thing. But after a chance meeting with a homeless woman 🧑‍🦱 & some wise words, 🗣 she decides to take action, plumps for Option 3 & sets about creating her own 30 day plan. 📜 However, she is unfortunately unable to forsee the devastating news that her & David are to receive part way through her 'plan' & how the homeless lady, AKA Lady Love ❤ will change Betsy's & other's lives forever.
This was a complimentary copy of the book sent to me directly by the author via Voracious Readers Only.
So, I chose this book having read some of the synopsis, something that I don't usually do as I don't like anything to influence my own review. However, it caught my attention by mentioning a subject, that none of my reviewed books have covered so far, & I thought it would be interesting. For the majority of this novel, I really enjoyed the narrative, the characters & the positivity running through the story. When it arrived at the subject I had been expecting I was interested to see where it would lead. However - & that's not a negative use of the word - it veered off somewhere I really wasn't expecting, to a more fantasy driven narrative (which really isn't normally my thing. I'm more a real life scenario kinda gal) & if you find it hard to acclimatise your brain to that sort of sudden change (as I do), it gets a bit confusing, as it brought past characters who you believed at the time to be playing a 'bit part' & therefore forgettable to actually be very relevant, challenging the reader to recall the part they played in a previous chapter. Once I got my head around the reason for this sudden change of direction I started to enjoy it again. I was expecting the narrative of this story to be much darker, a bit of a weepy. What I got was hope & positivity. It was just a bit of a journey to get there. What I will say is that the author is clearly blessed with an extremely furtile imagination & I commend her for coming up with such an intricately thought through, fanciful & ingenious plot!
I was unable to provide a picture of the book as I cannot find it. I will speak to VRO.
May be an image of text that says 'ebook'

The Love Island Book Shop by Kate Frost

  Engaging Compelling Intriguing Genre: Contemporary Fiction/Romantic/Adventure The Love Island Book Shop by Kate Frost - Author Books had been her companion throughout her life. Brought up as virtually an only child, with parents who had clearly found the restraints of a second child constraining, reading had been her main pass time and a way to escape the loneliness. She’d had a best friend from the age of seven who had been like a sister for a large chunk of her life, but that had been unexpectedly and cruelly taken from her. Owen hadn’t been much of a support at all during the excruciatingly heartbreaking time that followed and all she really had left were once again, her many works of literature, plus her job,, where more of the same awaited, although she actually loved it…and, there was of course, Aisha. Maybe the newspaper advert was a sign, telling her that it was time for a new start somewhere she could get away from all the complications, disappointments and sadness that...

The Woman Who Wrote In Green In Ink By Sheena Billett

  Page Turner, Engaging, Entertaining Genre: Family Drama/Contemporary Fiction/Mystery The Woman Who Wrote Ink Green Ink By Sheena Billett I was excited & honoured to be asked to read this novel prior to it's publication. I do enjoy a good family drama, and having so many different narratives occurring in one story made it a really entertaining, comprehensive read. Having four different areas of the main character's life, giving different threads to follow within the novel, kept it fresh and enjoyable, introducing the reader to a wide variety of characters. Amber's boys are typical of any couple of teenagers within any family that I know of; One who is on the wild side (generally as in this case, the elder of the two) and the other who behaves himself & tows the line as he hasn't yet reached the age of testing the parental boundaries to see how far they'll stretch. Her husband, a workaholic, only interested in what he can get out of people, he handles eve...
