This is another great read from Maxine Morrey. Things are Looking Up was published by Boldwood Books on May 25th. What if what you really need is right there in front of you,
if you just take a moment to look up?
Milly has been waiting for this moment forever and finally
it’s just an hour away – an interview with Vogue magazine and the opportunity to
get her Louboutin-clad foot in the door.
There’s just one problem – totally engrossed in her mobile phone, Milly
doesn’t see the bus that is fast approaching – until it’s too late…
When Milly next opens her eyes, the consequences of her
accident become clear. Everything she has worked for and dreamed of suddenly
feels out of reach. But there is one bright spot on her horizon – the
reappearance of her ex Jed, in all of his six-foot-four, broad-shouldered
glory, with the most piercing ice blue eyes Milly ever saw.
Once used to working in a whirlwind, Milly now has the
chance to reconsider how to live. Will she rush back to the treadmill, get her
head down and back to business, or is there a whole other life waiting for her,
if she’ll just look up to see it?
‘Read yourself happy’ with Maxine Morrey’s latest uplifting,
page-turning, heart-warming romance, guaranteed to brighten up your day.
My Thoughts
This
is a hugely enjoyable read from Maxine Morrey. She has created some
characters you actually care about, none more so than Milly. Because of a
catastrophic accident, she is compelled to take a fresh look at the
choices she has made and the life she has been living. She seems
vulnerable and increasingly aware of the changes she has to make. You
can absolutely visualise her family and the people she meets once she
has started tp look around her rather than burying herself in her work.
This is a message which chimes well after all these months on lockdown,
as well as living in a world in which social media creates a fake
picture of what is important.
Second chances, friendship, family
and a sense of belonging all are threads which run through the
storyline. Milly's brother and his family have never given up on her and
their sibling relationship is warm and familiar. Of course Jed coming
back in her life is a massive shift for Milly. Whether they can come to
terms with their rift however, remains to be seen.
