Starting Over at Starlight Cottage

About the Book:

49-year-old Tilly Thomas would never have known any different if she hadn’t unexpectedly turned up at hubby Robin’s office to surprise him with an off-the-cuff evening at the theatre. Instead, the surprise is on Tilly when she interrupts Robin and his young PA in a compromising position.

Stumbling from the office, blinded by tears, Tilly thanks God she was never gifted the children she once craved and is spared explaining why Mummy and Daddy will now be living apart. Instead, Tilly has an adopted daughter – but this little girl has a wet nose and warm heart.

Mongrel Cindy is privy to all her mummy’s hopes and dreams as Tilly prepares to start over in the village of Starlight Croft. Thank goodness a dog can’t speak because Cindy knows things her mistress has never shared, including a secret that once broke Tilly’s heart.

As Tilly prepares to embrace an unknown future and make peace with her past, she discovers that sometimes difficult roads lead to beautiful destinations…

My Review:

Starting Over at Starlight Cottage is a wonderful women's fiction novel. Tilly's marriage is over when she finds her husband and his PA in a compromising position. About the start a new chapter in her life, things don't go as planned and she winds up doing exactly what she didn't want to do - couch surf at a friend's house. Single, homeless, and creeping close to 50, Tilly knows she needs to hit the reset button and reevaluate her life.

I love Tilly and Milo, along with all the secondary characters. They are multi-dimensional and written well. I enjoyed watching each character grow and work through some very difficult personal choices, decisions, and issues from the past that crop up. The author's descriptions of Starlight Croft are vivid and I felt like I was in the story with the characters.

I enjoyed the author's writing style, pacing of the story, and character development. The story is realistic and shows that everyone has imperfections. There is plenty of emotion, passion, and realism. I was completely engaged in the book from the first sentence.

I was provided a copy of this book.
