DESCRIPTION:
Would you give up your dreams for love?
1990: In a hot, humid Hong Kong summer, three young singers are loving life, performing to packed crowds every night in a swanky hotel bar. Twenty-three-year-old Scottish songbird, Moira Chiles is living the dream alongside Carina Lloyd and Lisa Dixon. They work hard, play hard, and always stick together… until one day Moira has to make a choice that changes everything.
Fast forward to…
2025: In a wet, chilly, Glasgow summer, Moira has just retired after singing in Glasgow pubs and Caribbean cruise ships for three decades. Now she’s ready for a new adventure – one that takes her to Hong Kong to revisit a world she left behind. Moira hasn’t seen Carina or Lisa for over thirty years, but will an invitation to join her on a holiday of a lifetime rekindle the friendships that changed her life? Or will stepping back in time expose secrets that could break their hearts?

MY THOUGHTS:
Moira and her friends Lisa and Carina were all in Hong Kong in the nineties and they all had blossoming musical careers. As time often proves, going separate ways can suddenly put decades between friendships that seemed certain to last forever.
It is present day in 2025 and the women, all who have led separate lives, go back to Hong Kong. Although Moira is hopeful that seeing both Carina and Lisa will heal old wounds, she also hopes that the three of them will have the opportunity for second chances.
One feeling that I got while reading this book is the saying that “you can’t go home again”. Their lives, circumstances, and even personalities have changed. But, this second chance story is truly one that shows the depth of female friendships, and how old wounds can be healed, even through tears and sadness.
I was pleasantly surprised to learn how prolific Shari Low has been as a writer, especially as this is my first novel by her. Her storytelling is masterful, and I am thrilled at the opportunity to finally have had the chance to read one of her books.
Many thanks to Boldwood Books and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
