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…

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.

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!

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!

This book is incredibly cute and heartfelt. We’re introduced to Enya, a woman in her early 50s navigating life after the loss of her husband and her older son, Aiden. Right away, you feel her loneliness—she’s at that strange stage where she’s still very much in her prime, but the life she once knew has completely shifted. And honestly, the addition of Pickles the cat? Loved it. I’m always here for a good family pet.

Aiden has been in a long-term relationship with Holly, who Enya has practically considered a daughter. Their families are deeply intertwined, which makes everything feel comfortable, familiar… and stable. That is, until Aiden leaves for a three-week work trip and comes back engaged to someone he just met abroad. Chaos.

As if that isn’t enough, Enya has a chance encounter with a charming stranger at the airport—who just so happens to be her son’s new fiancée’s father… and he’s still married. Messy doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Suddenly, Enya feels like she’s lost everything all over again. No husband, her son is building a new life, her connection to Holly is slipping away, and even her friendship with Jenny feels strained. Watching her navigate that isolation—while juggling complicated emotions, family dynamics, and a morally gray romantic situation—was both frustrating and compelling.

I did find myself getting a little annoyed at times. Enya often felt stuck in the middle of everyone else’s decisions, and Jenny’s disloyalty as a friend was hard to ignore. I also struggled with how much Enya held herself back because of her adult son—it felt a bit excessive. Still, those frustrations didn’t take away from the overall charm of the story.

At its core, this is a warm, easy read about second chances, messy relationships, and finding happiness again—even when life doesn’t go as planned. It’s not quite a 5-star for me, but it was well-written, engaging, and definitely delivered on the feel-good factor.

A solid 4 stars.
