After the One: An uplifting novel of friendship, family and new love | Cass Lester
2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
What happens... after The One? April 16th is always one of Charley’s worst days of the year. It’s her husband’s birthday, a painful reminder of his death four years ago. So naturally, her car breaks down. She nearly gets run over trying to catch the bus. And then she’s made redundant. Her friends see the redundancy as a chance for her to start again and live the life she always wanted, but since being widowed Charley has clung to familiarity and avoided change like the plague. Then, out of the blue, her mother-in-law Pam pitches up in need of a place to stay after walking out on her 40-year marriage. Together, Charley and Pam find themselves at a crossroad. It’s not easy to move on after The One, but they can’t stand still forever. A gorgeously heartwarming and feel-good story for fans of Libby Page and Nicola Gill. Praise for After the One ‘I loved this sweetly engaging story of two women overcoming heartbreak at different stages of life – it envelopes the reader in a warm hug of friendship and hope.’ Sarah Steele, USA Today bestselling author of The Missing Pieces Of Nancy Moon

I really enjoyed this book. Although there is a love story in there it isn‘t the main part of the plot. I loved the relationship between Charlie and Pam and although Pam was going through her own trouble and her own grief she knew what to say to Charlie at all the right moments. Although the plots were all very heavy and emotional, it was handled in such a way that there was just enough humour to keep it light.

This was lovely. A young widow is made redundant and just as she needs to find a roommate,her mother-in-law leaves her marriage and moves in. A great premise that is enhanced with a handful of other lovely and caring friends. This is a book about life, how it goes on, how we endure, heal, and celebrate. It‘s about friendship, grief, love, memory, and moving forward. It was exactly what I needed and I enjoyed it. It wasn‘t too sappy! 4.5/5
