One Sunny Day by Shari Low
I’ve read a few of Shari Low’s books before, so I knew I was in for a treat with this one. Her characters are so well crafted and relatable that you can’t help but keep turning the pages, telling yourself “just one more chapter” until suddenly you’ve finished the whole book.
The whole story unfolds over just twenty‑four hours, following four very different lives as everything shifts around them. Netta McGonigle is a widow whose marriage was far from perfect, leaving her daughter baffled about why she stayed. Ollie Chiles is a huge star thanks to a lucky break in The Clansman, and he helped found the theatre academy with a friend — an academy run by, and named after, his mother. Now he’s torn between continuing his career, and funding the academy, and choosing the love of his life. Kiki Strang is a single mum whose daughter attends the academy, still reeling from being ghosted by the actor who once promised her the world. And Ginny Canavan, an actress working at the academy between roles, suddenly has the chance to chase her dream job — but isn’t sure if it’s truly right for her. In just one day, a lot happens, including a Netflix screening at the academy that could change several lives forever.
I loved how these characters’ lives intertwined over the course of a single day, each of them facing choices that could reshape their future. Shari Low has such a gift for blending humour, heart and real‑life emotion, and this story captures that beautifully. It’s a warm, engaging read that left me feeling genuinely uplifted, and one I raced through with a smile.
