Verrassend boek. Het begint heel luchtig, als een feest van herkenning voor iedereen die in NY is geweest. Binnen 100 blz. werd het wel erg herkenbaar toen twee van de hoofdpersonen spraken over waar zijn waren op 9/11. Net als ik in NY.
Na het eerste deel, wat erg luchtig is, volgt er iets meer drama. En veel liefde. Ik kon het boek iig niet meer neerleggen tot ik het uit had.

Really enjoyed this book. One I wanted to keep reading and see how it was going to end. An easy read and the story moved along nicely.

Eve doesn’t believe in a man coming to save the day for her – as the director of a dating agency, she thinks the bank balance and profile is the key to falling in love. So when she bumps into 2 friends visiting New York from Ireland, she doesn’t expect a lot of old emotions to be stirred up about their past, and feelings to come out that she’d pushed to the back of her mind. Rachel is loving the freedom from her restrictive husband and family life, and is enjoying time with her new friend Alex, but how far is Rachel going to go for happiness? And finally Nicky is feeling the guilt of leaving her son home while she holidays in NYC with Rachel, and is convinced she’s going to end up alone. She’s only come to shop but might leave with more than she bargained for. With 3 nights in New York, it’s going to be a trip the 3 women will never forget!
Michelle Jackson is another Irish author who is published by Poolbeg, the number 1 fictional publishers in Ireland, and a company I am getting to know more and more about as I read more of their published books. Three Nights in New York is author Michelle Jackson’s second book, and is due out in paperback on 26th February. I haven’t read Michelle’s first novel Two Days In Biarritz but after this fantastic read, I definitely am looking forward to reading more of her books.
The book begins with the two main characters of the book, Rachel and Nicky, arriving in New York and immediately I found it was bringing back some great memories of my 2 holidays to New York. Michelle has really captured the essence of New York with her book, you can imagine the places in your mind and you can tell Michelle has been there and experienced New York because of the way she writes and brings it to life. I loved the way we experience the city through the eyes of Rachel and Nicky who are both excited to be there and seeing things with the eyes of tourists, just how we would want to read it and you can warm to these two ladies straight away.
Both characters are normal women, and this always helps me to get involved with a character’s story and care about what happens to them. You can tell that Rachel has a secret from early on in the book, but it took a while for me to realise exactly what it is. It’s not made an enormous issue until the last part of the book, and I credit Jackson for writing these scenes so well and with real empathy because it can’t have been an easy topic to write about yet it is done extremely well. I really liked Rachel, and enjoyed her journey through despite what she was doing, and especially by the end I was really hoping it would all work out for her.
I found Nicky’s storyline a bit more predictable because it all went exactly as I suspected, but it didn’t stop me from enjoying the book at all. Nicky is a single mum and determined to shop until she drops in New York but doesn’t expect to make friends with a billionaire, and meet Eve again after their friendship being destroyed in college. I liked the twist involving Nicky and Eve because it enabled me as a reader to picture them as a group, and I liked the way Jackson created a history for them. Nicky was another great character, but the one I didn’t warm to was Eve. She seemed a little cold and snooty for her own good, and she wasn’t as likeable as Rachel or Nicky, but then I think she was meant to symbolise the change from her and the other two women.
The way the story moves was fantastic and the pace was just right. It moved through the time in New York at a good pace, showcasing the fun that the women had in the day and the night, showing a lot of the main landmarks of New York as well as some unknown ones too, having time to go into private scenes with the women to develop their own storylines, yet there was still time towards the end to return home to Ireland which was the perfect conclusion to the book. I liked the way that although these characters experienced the holiday together, they all had completely different holidays and therefore their own stories, and these were perfectly balanced by Michelle Jackson. It was so easy to follow which story I was reading about, and the writing style is so easy to read I simply whizzed through this book. It was a joy to read, particularly as I’ve been to New York and could imagine the places in my mind, but Jackson’s vivid writing will bring it to life if you’ve never been. Great character, fatastic writing and an amazing setting – what more could you want? Simply fantastic, and extremely readable.

Loved this book, it took me to New York in the middle of a pandemic!

4* read simply because it was somewhat repetitive. Sure you may also argue the story’s end is quite predictable, but it’s lovely and compelling throughout. Would recommend.

Tja, het verhaal was niet zo geweldig, maar ik ben erg druk geweest met dit boek. Veel beschrijvingen over plekken in New York, die wellicht de moeite van het bezoeken waard zijn. Ik heb ze allemaal opgezocht en de interessante genoteerd op mijn to-do-list. En wie weet kom ik wel op een van die plekken als ik in november met mijn vriendin in NYC ben :-)

A life changing trip
Three friends meet up in NYC to reunite, secrets are shared, memories are reminisced and love is in the air. The trip ends and when they are back home they are drawn together by their memories of NY. This is a beach read you won't be able to put down, o predict if a gone will live happily ever after.

While the storyline was a very typical chick-lit read, I still found it reasonably enjoyable and found myself unable to put the book down at times. On the other hand, there were other sections in which I found my mind drifting as the book was not able to grab my attention enough.
