Never Too Late


About the Book:

Every moment of your life is a second chance...

Thirty years ago, Kitty Collins was a confident, carefree fashion history student living her best life in Paris. But then Tomas Laurent broke her heart and she retreated back to England.

A year later, Kitty’s a married stay-at-home mum and those big hopes and dreams have been replaced by nappy changes, school runs and dinner parties for her husband’s Academia colleagues.

Now 50 and recently divorced, Kitty is empowered to embrace single life and finally makes plans with Sasha, her daughter, to return to the city that stole her heart to move forward with her life.

But when a chance encounter awakens feelings she’d forgotten she had Kitty begins to wonder whether the ghosts of Paris should be left in the past.

With the help of old friends and new friends, can Kitty discover the woman she’s supposed to be and fall in love with the City of Light once more?

My Review:

Never Too Late is a book about seconds chances at life and love. Kitty is an enjoyable character who has to start over at 50 after a divorce. She learns to love the single life and can now try and fulfill the dreams from her youth. 

The second chance romance trope is one of my favorites, and Never Too Late satisfies that genre. I also enjoy women's fiction focusing on older main characters. As I'm closer to Kitty's age group, it helps me identify better with the character. Not much about her current situation parallels with mine, but being in the same generation is great. 

I enjoyed the author's writing style. The descriptive prose had me feeling like I was in Paris. Being able to meet Kitty, get to know her, and see Paris through her current lens really pulled this book together for me. Yes, this is a second chance romance, but Never Too Late is a second chance for Kitty in many areas: life, dreams, and friendship.

I was provided with a copy of this book. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
