DESCRIPTION:

An uplifting, heart-warming story from the number one bestselling author.

How do you rebuild your life when it changes forever in an instant?

Thirty-five-year-old Victoria Sharpe has a decent job as an illustrator, a perfectly good if predictable relationship, and great friends. So why can’t she shake the feeling that something is missing?

Keen to let off steam, she sets off on a night out with her best friends. Next morning – one reckless decision later – she resolves to make some seriously overdue changes to achieve the fulfilment she craves.

Then she gets devastating news that shatters everything she ever wanted for her future.

Or so she thinks. Because as friends and family rally around to support her, and an unexpected new romance makes her heart skip a beat, Victoria discovers that sometimes in the deepest darkness the brightest light can shine through. But, after all she’s been through, can she let it in?

This uplifting, heart-warming story from number one bestselling author Nicola May will have you reaching for the tissues. An unputdownable, unforgettable read, perfect for fans of Shari Low, Jill Mansell and Amanda Prowse.


MY THOUGHTS:

Victoria Sharpe, in her mid-30s, works as an illustrator, a job that’s neither particularly fulfilling nor exciting. Despite being in a serious relationship, she feels a profound sense of emptiness in her life. Surrounded by loving friends, she should be content, but the void persists.

When Victoria receives devastating news about her health—she has contracted HIV—her entire perspective on life is upended. While she’s fortunate to have supportive people around her, the thought of the daily challenges she’ll face for the rest of her life is overwhelming.

Victoria must confront the new reality of her life and challenge the stigmas that make her uncomfortable. Despite this difficult situation, she remains a woman who deserves love and a future filled with joy.

This book delves into a serious and often overlooked topic, one that I’ve never encountered in a fictional setting before. The narrative was compelling because it allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of people who face this challenge in their lives, regardless of the reasons behind it. 

Many thanks to Storm Publishing for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
