Book Description
I always thought I was going to be a girl who did something. I was going to run my own business and
find fame and fortune! Fall in love…
But here I am. Still waiting for it all to happen, sitting on the floor, surrounded by lilies and roses,
trying to do my best friend’s wedding flowers because – in her words – ‘how hard can it be, Frankie?’.
The answer is actually ‘very hard’ but it’s not the only thing that’s tough right now. My boyfriend
won’t commit, I barely have a job, and once again I have the hangover from hell…
What I don’t know is that life’s about to throw me a curveball a new friend I will make with a
beautiful, sad-eyed little boy who is so very tragically ill. I still don’t know about that heartbreak.
Even so, in this moment, I know that it’s time for some changes. Maybe it’s time to make my dreams
come true? To try to become a marathon-running, healthy-living, wildly-in-love florist-to-the-stars!
Because I’m beginning to realise that you only get one chance at life. I don’t yet how you change
everything, all at once, but what I do know is it all starts with me…

Read and reviewed via NetGalley for Debbie Howells, Boldwood, Book & Tonic and Rachel's Random Book Tours .

This novel consists of 44 chapters. The chapters are short to medium in length so easy to read 'just one more chapter' before bed...OK, I know yeah right, but still just in case!
What an absolutely fantastic laugh a minute, heart warming, stunning must read!!! Absolutely loved it fairplay!!! This book has fantastic descriptions that set you straight in the scenes. The cover, title and synopsis suit the storyline perfectly.
The storyline itself was absolutely unputdownable so make sure you clear your schedules before starting to read it!!
OMG!!! I absolutely love, LOVE, LOVED this absolutely gorgeous book!!! I must say it has got to be one of the best romances I have ever read!! It is filled with friendship, family, loyalty, love, loneliness, trying new things and so much more!! It really does go to show how one person can change so many lives and make such a big difference!! It is an emotional rollercoaster ride of emotions that will make you cry, laugh, smile and terrified plus everything in between!! Grab the tissues as you will cry with sadness and have tears of joy!!! I was absolutely absorbed in this book and just could not put it down!!! There was no chance of just one more chapter and I ended up devouring it in a day!!! The setting and atmosphere was absolutely gorgeous and I loved watching the buildings getting redeveloped, learning everyone's stories and histories and watching the characters relationships change throughout. It really is one of those feel good books that is perfect to read curled up in front of a fire or lying on the beach. There was a perfect mix of tragedy, heartbreak, Romance, laughter that it definitely the go to book if you want a pick me up!!! It is so much more than your everyday romance with the intriguing and multi layered storylines as there is more than just the one. I could go on and on but seriously just get your copy and get sucked in. You really won't regret it!! The characters were all an eclectic mix and each one of them were realistic and strong. I absolutely fell in love with all of them for different reasons and I was absolutely devastated to say goodbye. I absolutely adored watching their relationships and friendships grow and develop throughout the storyline. They each became stronger and learnt so much not only about each other but about themselves.
An absolutely stunning, page turning MUST READ!!
