Hello there. My latest novel is The Museum of Second Chances. My debut, Tell Me How This Ends, was a BBC Radio 2 Book Club pick, followed by The Last Time I Saw You, all published by Lake Union (Amazon Publishing). In Germany, my books are published by Droemer, as Café Leben and In den Augen Meiner Mutter.
I've also written an interiors book, Victorian Modern, out with Thames & Hudson. You can find me on social media as @joleevers and my website is joleevers.com

"This book makes me wish I could have my own second chance!

I picked this book from Amazon's monthly first reads because it is set in Cornwall, a place I love. But the further I got into the book, the more I fell in love with the storyline, the charact" Read more of this review »

"Another fabulous story from Jo Leevers. The fictional coastal town of Portheast in Cornwall is the setting for this book. A place that seems to attract the lost, looking for a new start in life far from the madding crowd as it were. Most of the chara" Read more of this review »

"I loved this book

This is a wonderful book about people coming together and bringing out the best in one another. It reminded me of Remarkably Bright Creatures. It was heartwarming. Although all the main characters were going through bad circumstances" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Jo Leevers  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“She knew that an object’s meaning never stopped with its first owner or maker – that was only the start of its story, which could continue like ripples from a skimmed stone.”
― Jo Leevers, The Museum of Second Chances

“She was told she’d been ‘sectioned’ – and she quite liked the sound of that word, imagining how nice it would be if you could do that, slice the parts of your life into neat portions, trimming off the bad bits. If she could, she would cut out her entire marriage and throw it in the sluice bucket, like something bloated and diseased.”
― Jo Leevers, Tell Me How This Ends

“Henrietta can feel that familiar blank expression forming on her face, the one that protected her through her lonely schooldays and then university and jobs where nobody spoke to her. It’s the face that hides the rising panic of knowing that she’s failed again.”
― Jo Leevers, Tell Me How This Ends

“Here it comes again, thinks Henrietta, that old feeling of being on the fringes of a club, discovering that everyone else has been a fully paid-up member for ages while she’s still trying to figure out the rules.”
