The Year that Changed Everything by Cathy Kelly


Synopsis:

Three women celebrate their birthdays . . . 30. 40. 50. But their milestone birthdays mark the start of a year that will change everything . . .

Ginger isn't spending her 30th the way she would have planned. Tonight might be the first night of the rest of her life - or a total disaster.

Sam is finally pregnant after years of trying. When her waters break on the morning of her 40th birthday, she panics: forget labour, how is she going to be a mother?

Callie is celebrating her 50th at a big party in her Dublin home. Then a knock at the door mid-party turns her perfect life upside down . . .

Full of warmth and wisdom, this is a story about finding happiness on your own terms from international bestseller Cathy Kelly.

My review:

I have always loved Cathy Kelly. I find her books uplifting, relatable, full of great characters and her story-lines very realistic. And of course this book is Cathy at her best – please do not ever stop writing.

All three women have problems. Callie has been abandoned by her fraudulent husband; Sam’s new-born baby has left her feeling like a failure of a mother and poor ginger is completely thrown under the bus by her so-called best friend. Each woman is at a crossroad of her life and not a clue which direction to take.

It takes determination, support from friends and family and lots of brave decisions to bring their lives back on track. Their paths cross and they find new friendships blossom.

What a lovely book. And I also say the cover design is so pretty. Definitely something I would pick up from a shelf and it would catch my eye.

Thank you very much to the author and TBConFB for access to this book in return for this honest review.

My rating: 5/5
