SAVING MISSY BY BETH MORREY
PAPERBACK PUBLISHED BY HARPER COLLINS 4TH MARCH 2021
Everyone deserves a second chance.
Seventy – nine is too late for a second chance. Isn’t it ?
Missy Charmichael is prickly, stubborn – and terribly lonely. Until a chance encounter in the park with two very different women opens the door to something new. Something wonderful.
Missy is used to her small, solitary existence, listening to her footsteps echoing around the empty house, the tick-tick-tick of the watching clock. After all, she has made her life this way.
Now another life is beckoning to Missy – if she’s braves enough.
MY REVIEW
WHAT A WONDERFUL STORY
I absolutely adore the front cover and the back cover, showing women going for a stroll in a beautiful park.
Wow! What a truly wonderful story, one that I one hundred percent recommend reading. It’s not often that a story is penned about an slightly older person, that’s the main reason why I liked reading Saving Missy is that it features a seventy-nine – year – old for a change instead of younger characters.
I do strongly feel that there are many, many older women in their late seventies that has lost a husband and becomes reluctant to venture out to meet other people, This is why I loved reading this amazing story about seventy-nine year- old Missy.
This is why my heart went out to the main character Missy Carmichael, whose husband died and her son and grandchildren live the other side of the world in Australia, therefore she lives totally alone in her house, that made me sorry for Missy Carmichael, and within my heart I wanted her to have someone to talk to, after all being seventy- nine isn’t that old.
I liked how the author gave Missy, with something oddly that happened to her while taking a walk, giving her a friendly voice of another woman to talk to.
I could have screamed at Missy for not accepting going for a coffee with a lady she has just been talking to.
But it gets better with Missy Carmichael finally having friends to talk to.
I would like to thank Harper Collins so much for sending me a published paperback to read and review.
