Welcome back again! It’s the turn of The Sandy Cove Sunset Swimmers by Sian O’Gorman on the blog today. Thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources and Boldwood Books for the gifted ebook to write my honest review.
Can learning to say ‘yes’ change your life?
When Cat Jones is given the opportunity of a lifetime to present one of Ireland’s most popular live daytime shows, alongside TV royalty David Fitzgerald she isn’t sure she is ready for the challenge.
But after being pushed by her mother’s friend Lorraine to say ‘yes’ to everything for a month, she reluctantly agrees.
What follows is a whirlwind of opportunities where Catis forced outside her comfort zone with varying degrees of success.
Once she accepts the challenge to take the plunge with the eclectic sea swimming tribe The Forty Footers’in Dublin Bay, she never looks back. She is warmly welcomed into their lives, and learns to find reserves of strength she never knew existed which helps her deal with a toxic ex, and a growing attraction for a handsome TV executive.
With best friends, Becca and Sinead also in need of a re-boot, can Cat empower them to choose ‘risk and adventure’ or will they go back to their old, safe lives?
Say ‘yes’ and your whole life will open up in wonderful ways.
I love Sandycove! I was so happy to be back. This was such a feel-good and uplifting story that made me feel so much better just for the time it took for me to read it.
Cat finds herself (along with her mum), agreeing to her godmothers, request that they attempt to say yes to everything for one month. Cat herself isn’t overly keen. She is happy with her life as it is in Sandycove. She has what she needs, a job and her home. Cat can’t see why anything should be changed. As the month moves on, Cat discovers that saying yes may just bring so much more to her life than just a safe job and a home.
Sian O’Gorman’s detailed descriptions of it brought Sandycove to life for me. I enjoyed meeting the mix of characters who live there, too. Cat was a woman whom I connected with so easily. Don’t we all just want to feel safe? It’s a scary world, and saying yes to everything would make me feel the same as Cat. I was hoping from the start that things would work out well for her.
The Sandycove Sunset Swimmers has friendships that I wished I had, and to put the cherry on the top, there is romance as well. It’s a heartwarming story that would cheer anyone up who read it!
