I am very excited to be kicking off the Random Things blog
tour for A Midlife Holiday today. I received a copy of this book as part of the
blog tour.
It’s Helen Winters’ fiftieth birthday, but things aren’t quite
going to plan. Her husband is away climbing Everest and is furious that she
missed his call because she was buying milk in Asda. Whilst her two older children
have not done much to celebrate with her. When her glamorous friend Caro buys
her a Cheese Melter for her birthday it is the tip of the iceberg and Helen can’t
help but feel depressed about the years to come and the chances she didn’t take
in the past.
With this in mind, and totally out of character, she books a
holiday to Cyprus with two of her closest friends Caro and Kay. It starts off
as the perfect holiday – sunshine and some attention from handsome men.
However, when Helen finds out that her friend has an ulterior motive for being
in Cyprus their friendship becomes at risk.
Will this holiday be enough for Helen to find out who she
truly is?
This is such a fun book that I highly recommend. I felt like
I was away on holiday sitting by the pool whilst reading this, as the setting
is so vividly portrayed. It also brings awareness to the sacrifices that women
often make in life that sometimes get forgotten about.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and I am so glad that this
is the first book in a trilogy, as I can’t wait to read what happens next.
