Description
A beautifully heart-warming book club read from Sian O'GormanA tale of love, discovery, and second chances...
In the bustling world of Dublin's advertising scene, Kitty O'Sullivan, a copywriter, feels an unexplainable void in her life that she can't quite pinpoint. Her five-year relationship with Dave is stagnant, her creative juices have dried up and she's even entertaining thoughts of marriage as a cure-all! Something's missing from her life but she can't work out exactly what it is...
When Dave decides to take time out from 'them', Kitty finds herself momentarily liberated to explore life and have some fun. She and best friend Shazza are corralled into joining a five-aside football team where she meets the intriguing Sweetman brothers, Tom and Rory.
As they sail around the enchanting coast of Dublin, engage in fierce football battles and stumble upon a magical secret drinking den, Kitty falls in love with her new life - and her new self - but is it only temporary until Dave returns?
Will Kitty find the answers to life's mysteries and take charge of her future?
Join Kitty on this journey of love, self-discovery, and the pursuit of a life truly worth living.
Perfect from the fans of Faith Hogan and Laura Pearson
