Second Chance Summer by Phillipa Ashley
I so enjoyed this book. The descriptions of the islands are outstanding, and will make you want to take a trip immediately. The characters are very real and very believable, and the storyline is great if a little predictable. The main character, Lily, is a strong independent woman, with her own thriving business. What’s not to like?
Lily isn’t as much driven, as completely immersed in work. Since
her sister died, she felt the need to be successful – and she is very
successful - almost to the exclusion of everything else. When she collapses on
the floor in the office her PA is insistent that she needs a break, and
arranges for her to have a break on one of the Scilly Islands in a very new
resort which is in the process of being set up by the owner. When Lily arrives after
a horrendous journey in the most awful weather, she just wants to turn around
and go back to ‘civilisation’ – especially when she realises that the wifi and all
communication is practically non-existent on the Island where she is staying. Slowly, with the improvement in the weather,
and the handsome owner of the Island, Lily starts to fall in love with the
Islands and the resort. It makes her re-evaluate her priorities and realise
what is important.
A very well written book, which would make an excellent
summer read, and leave you on a high.
