Do what you love. Love what you do…
After a whirlwind courtship, Roisin Kelly ignored the sceptics and objectors and married aspiring novelist Brody Brady.
Fast forward one year and Roisin’s honeymoon is well and truly over. Brody has become her reclusive, freeloading lodger whilst he pens his masterpiece and she walks on eggshells.
Working in the Council Planning office, Roisin dreams to escape the mundanity of her life. Her true passions are cooking and entertaining her family and friends but she lacks the confidence to take it any further. When a charity supper club is suggested by best friends Jools and Richard, Roisin has no choice and is reluctantly swept along to be head chef for the fundraiser.
With the help of her friends, Roisin starts to believe that there is more to life that moody writers, hamsters and poor hygiene and that maybe she has a few dreams of her own.
And that just when you think life has nothing left to give, your whole world can change.
This book’s setting is what really kept me reading. Sandycove was a place that really kept me intrigued.
The characters, all-in-all, had me interested in their lives and the outcome.
The reason this has three stars is because, unfortunately, it was a bit slow for me. There were times when I really had to force myself to keep going… And then I would end up getting into it again. It was a bit of a cycle.
This author has been one that I’ve been following lately, and I’m eager to read more of her work.
I am sorry to hear that this one was a slow read for you, that’s a big factor for me as well. I do like the premise though. Hope your next read goes better for you.
