About the book

Lottie is about to discover that even when you think you’ve lost everything, hope and romance can be just around the corner . . .

It takes time to build your life. To get into a long-term (OK, a bit boring) relationship. To find a job (you don’t completely hate). Lottie might not be thrilled with the life she’s put together, but it’s the one she’s got.

So when in the course of one terrible evening, it all comes crashing down around her, Lottie has a choice: give herself over to grief at being broke, single and completely lacking in prospects.

Or, brick by brick, build herself a new life. And this time, with a little help from friends, a crumbling cottage in Devon and a handsome stranger, maybe she can make it the one she always wanted.

My review

The summer of second chances is a lovely read one I enjoyed from start to finish.

The book has an absolutely stunning cover, I just think the colours are perfect.

We meet Lottie, a character thats recently been through tragic circumstances and is now looking a fresh start.  When her friend offers her a chance to live in her cottage for a while whilst she gets herself together in exchange for her doing redecorating work in the cottage, Lottie jumps at the chance. 

We see Lottie develop a lovely relationship with her hunky neighbour Bryn, as a reader your willing it to go further into a romantic relationship as they both suit each other so well and it would be lovely for Lottie to have that perfect relationship she dreams off and be treated properly. 

I was gutted at how quickly the book ended as I just wanted to read more and see their relationship progress, however Im hoping there will be a follow up book and we can find out more.  

Overall I found this book so easy to read and made me feel happy when I read it, I just loved it.  

I see great potential for Maddie Please and cant wait to read more from her in the future.
