***3 stars
As always Melissa Hill writes a solid story with twists throughout to keep you interested. Even though I gave this book a 3 it wasn't because I had trouble getting through it, because it was well written. I had a problem with the characters. I was easily frustrated by the three characters potrayed. This book was so well done and characters so well formed that I found myself grumpy during the reading of it. I just don't think that this one was my cup of tea. Sorry, but still look forward to my next book by her.
Book Jacket Summary:
Three women with three very different lives board the coast train to Dublin. Each of them is looking for something out of reach.
Every day Rosie Mitchell desperately misses her late husband Martin,but will giving her grown-up children everything they want bring her happiness? And is it too late at 56 for Rosie to carve out a new life and find a new purpose?
Recently married Dara Campbell, successful solicitor in her mid-30s,has it all but is blinded by memories. Dara can't see that her fantasy is standing in the way of a happy marriage. But when faced with a blast from the past, Dara has some tough decisions to make.
Louise Patterson is only 24 but has had a tough start in life and now she's determined to live for the moment, but will her drive to appear the party girl in the face of mounting debts be her undoing? And are her new friends all they appear to be?
Can these women learn to look forward and accept the good things already in their lives, instead of wishing for something more?
But one morning, as they board their usual train, little do they know that fate has something else in store for them.
Rosie, Dara and Louise realise that wishes don't just grant themselves. You have to take your wish, and make it happen all by yourself.
