Product Information

The whole story is just so wonderful, three women who previously didn't know one another becoming great friends and helping each other talk through their issues, drink gin(!), laugh, and finally overcome any issues and move on with their lives. They are all women you'd love to be friends with, down to earth, funny and compassionate. For Katie, it is the perfect hideout after a childhood trauma left her feeling exposed. For Robyn, the fresh sea air is helping to heal her scars, but maybe not her marriage. For Grace, a new start could help her move on from a heartbreaking loss. When they meet on Seaglass Beach one day, they form an instant bond and soon they're sharing prosecco, laughter - and even their biggest secrets... Robyn is healing but whilst she may be physically it seems the emotional scars are a long way from that and her marriage is at a crossroads. Can the strength of their love see them through? The sun's rays began to creep through the curtain that didn't completely close the window of Wallabee Beetles' room. The temperature was rising little by little due to the typical summer weather. The boy was still lying on his bed and he woke up without opening his eyes. He pulled the blanket off his body because it caused him discomfort, but still he felt something was wrong. He shifted on his bed and suddenly felt a strange bulge next to him, an invader on his bed. This joyful and uplifting read fills you with hope, knowing that there is always a positive even in the darkest of times, and things will work out in the end. So often, sharing their problems has helped each woman and shows the reader that this can be the case in their own lives.

At Yarravel, NSW. The picture was one of three projected onto the Sydney Opera House sails in January.For Katie, it is the perfect hideout after a childhood trauma left her feeling exposed. For Robyn, the fresh sea air is helping to heal her scars, but maybe not her marriage. For Grace, a new start could help her move on from a heartbreaking loss.

The sparkling seaside village of Merle Bay, with its beautiful beach scattered with seaglass, is a place where anyone can have a fresh start. Kuki, there you are," he says when she got close enough to talk to him, "She's Virginia and usually comes to the gym the same days that I do," he commented naturally.

After the girl wanted to finish her workout on the treadmill, Wally left her alone so she could lift some weights. He had to move to the other side of the gym to do it. While at it, a girl with dark brown hair wearing pigtails approaches the blonde to talk to him. This was such a feel good, hopeful, summery read - I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed reading it. I’m definitely not the target audience and this isn’t my usual genre of book, but somehow it really worked for me. We have three very different women on very different journeys, and I had a good time following them. Stranded under a blood-red sky in Mallacoota, Victoria, in January, are Robert and Karen Allen with their dog Panther. Each character is well developed, they are realistic, and you feel that you know each of them well. I found changing each protagonist was easy as they were so different. So many serious issues are covered but sensitively. Grace, the older of the three women is grieving. she has come to Merle Bay to find herself, to move on. However her husbands children seem hell bent on making sure they get what they feel they are entitled to until a revelation makes Grace reassess everything she knows.

Sure," the girl replied, smiling at him. She wouldn't let a girl that only Wally saw from time to time at the gym ruin her day with him, after all they were alone now and in her mind, that was a date. When Kuki got close enough, she realized that Wally was talking to a girl who made too many movements with her body close to him. She clearly was flirting with him. Actually, the girls always approached Wally, but perhaps it would be the first time that she saw that he was following the conversation, that made her feel a jump in his heart, Is she the girl that Wally was talking about? Actually, Wally was surprised to think that taking her to the gym with him wasn't going all that bad. After a while, Kuki made interesting conversations with him, encouraged him to finish the routines, even made an effort to use the same machines that he frequented, of course in smaller times and series since the girl was not used to her routine. The girl was aware that both are adequately hydrated between exercises. He always imagined being able to do those things with Hoagie or Nigel, but neither of his two close friends seemed interested in exercising. You go to the gym? Don't make me laugh," he said laughing. "It's not a place like those that you like full of monkeys and pink things"
