Sam Halfpenny had never made a New Year's resolution before. But desperate times call for desperate measures. Her "New Year, New Me" goals take her on a journey of self-discovery and, with a little help from good friends, she begins to head down a different path, realising what she thought she needed to be happy was entirely different to what she had expected.
After plagiarising The Magic Key books at the tender age of six by writing her own versions of the stories, Megan knew she wanted to grow up to write books. Many years later, after a stint in Insurance and Finance, she finally knuckled down and finished a book worthy of being published.
For Better or Worse is her debut published (albeit self-published) novel and now there is a stack of ideas and almost-finished first drafts ready to be born. Books involving New York, Paris, New Years Resolutions, Yoga Instructors and deceptions are all in the pipeline, so keep an eye out!
The light-hearted and witty women's fiction Megan is aiming for may not go on to change the world or become a classic to be studied by grumpy students in fifty years time, but sometimes we just want to curl up with a good book and head into someone else's world for a little while.
When not furiously typing away at a keyboard or scribbling illegible notes on scraps of paper, Megan spends her time watching old movies, trying not to buy more shoes or playing with feather fans for a burlesque act.
This is the perfect book to read at New Years... or any time of year!
Like many people, Sam makes a New Year's resolution to lose weight and get in shape. Not only that, but she's determined to win back her ex-boyfriend in the process. This is a fun storyline that develops into something more as she learns a lot about her self-worth. I love the journey Sam goes on as she discovers that it's more important to live her life for herself and to do what makes her truly happen. The inclusions of dance classes and buddy runs were super fun, especially as someone who has taken part in both! I also enjoyed the romance and the friendships so much.
This is a wonderful story about finding yourself and realizing that maybe what you thought you were after isn't what you wanted at all.
