Making Lemonade

by Kate Langdon, Virtual Voice (Narrator)

Meet three thirty-somethings whose lives have swerved way off the beaten track… Jools has an addiction to married men, usually her boss, which always ends in disaster. Before she can come to terms with being unemployed (yet again), she finds herself up the duff, father unknown. Is it her charming, arrogant and married ex-boss? Or is it the man-child she met one drunken night at the Irish pub. If only she could remember his name… Sally is married to Vincent, a self-absorbed televangelist, obsessed with his TV show and beauty treatments. She spends her days working, ferrying her three children around and listening to her husband preach. How could her hopes and dreams have been so unimportant she waved them goodbye without a second thought? Kat has the perfect life all mapped the perfect job, the perfect husband, the perfectly renovated home and the soon-to-come perfect children. But when her suspicions that her husband is having an affair are proved to be correct, she suddenly finds herself single with a handbag full of broken dreams. Can they find their way back to the dreams of their youth – or is it time to accept life’s lemons and start making lemonade?

So so bad! Heroine just takes husband back after he dumps her and cheats on her! It also really bothered me that she never confronted him about taking his mistress (her friend), to Hawaii where they originally went on honeymoon!

[Rachel Bagley]

I don’t know why I bothered tbh

[Sandra Shea]

Don't waste your time!

[Laurie]

[Dillonk]

I liked this book it was so good it talks about a kid who needed money to go to college school so she babysat kids for her job. but it wasn't easy for her to make money for college.

[Bathsheba]

Lighthearted and fun enough, lovely to have a book set in my own country. A few terfy moments had me wincing but felt authentic regardless. Felt a but rushed at the end.

[Dominique 🕉🙏🏼]

Yes loved it! Would like part to two see what happens with the ladies!!

[Deyara]

Fun light read. Chapters alternate between characters who were friends many years ago, but whose stories do not really connect now, which was a bit annoying until the end when you get a sort of happy-ever-after. Ending was a bit flat for me, but still enjoyed the book.

[Tracy]

[Sandie]

Quick and easy chick lit

[Dan]

A good easy read.

Making Lemonade was an easy read. The perfect book for reading on the beach. A true to life reading about life not being perfect but you can still make lemonade!

[Denise DeVault]

This was a light and fun read. I loved the 3 main characters and liked how strong they all were, even with the circumstances they found themselves in.

[Deena]

Didn't really care for the ending, it was as those the rest of the story was missing

[Lily]

Felt myself getting bored and not interested in point of the book and it is a very small book so I read through it really quickly.

[Susannah Plumridge]

basic chic lit- suitable holiday trash :)

[Amanda Bowen]

Fun read

This book was fun and light with enough true to life drama to be relatable. Surely everyone could relate to one of these women and their experiences.

[Simone]

A quick, fun read. 3.5 stars.
