One Day in Summer by Shari Low #Review

One Day in Summer by Shari Low was published by Boldwood Books on 11th June and I am delighted to be on its blog tour. 


 #1 bestseller Shari Low, an emotional roller-coaster, that keeps you guessing...



One day in summer, three lives are about to change forever.



After two decades of looking after others, this is the day that Agnetha McMaster is reclaiming her life. It's her turn, her time but will she have the courage to start again?



Ten years ago, Mitchell McMaster divorced Agnetha and married her best friend, Celeste. Now he suspects his second wife is having an affair. This is the day he’ll discover if karma has come back to bite him.



Thanks to a DNA test, this is the day that Hope McTeer will finally meet her biological father. But will the reunion bring Hope the answers that she’s looking for?



Three people. Twenty-four hours. A lifetime of secrets to unravel.


My Thoughts
You can tell from the start that Shari Low is a great storyteller.  As the book progresses, you are able to follow the different story threads due to the superb plotting. Taking place over one Summers' day, the story alternates between the present day and decades earlier and you are given the true story in dribs and drabs. This is a story about family secrets.
 
    I must admit, not all the characters are likeable and it is no surprise to find out that Celeste is not my favourite person. Nevertheless, the author brings out her vulnerable side. so that you almost have some sympathy for her- well almost... Family affection runs through the story and I loved Agnetha's twin girls' relationship. Agnetha's character is the most interesting as she faces her 45th birthday and resolves to make some time for herself. This is a great escapist read with plenty of well-drawn characters and skilful plotting.
 
In short: Great storytelling and some emotional moments.
