Excellent!

Frankie Valente is so good at this! Her characters are so well-defined, one reads on and on to see how they will move forward into the lives they want. The story is so satisfying as the three main characters encounter a number of interruptions in their somewhat mundane lives. They come to realize they are the ones making their lives and can change them as they see opportunities they hadn't imagined.

Enjoyable romance with some heart-stopping moments. I loved the descriptions of the beautiful Irish coast.

Lovely characters and good setting. If you have a few hours to daydream away on holiday then this is the book for you.
Nothing too deep or taxing but a very pleasant read nevertheless.
