Welcome to Spring Hill, home to a square of independent shops and cafes, a thriving local community and nearby the newest venture, Ray’s Diner. Here a group of women meet once a week over a cup of something warming.
Amanda is primary carer to her elderly mother and one of the only women in a male-dominated company. Used to being second-best all her life, is this her time to finally break ranks and shine?
Sky works at the repair shop, patching up old teddy bears, and their owners’ hearts. But her heart beats for the one man who is strictly off-limits.
Mel has been a loyal and loving wife to Steve for thirty years. Then when he goes to his old school reunion, life as she knows it will never be the same again.
Erin is trying to get over a traumatic loss where her guilt weighs more than her grief. Can she find the first step to healing lies in sharing an hour with strangers once a week?
Astrid is feeling in need of a change and a challenge. But when a fantastic opportunity presents itself, who is around to convince her she is worthy enough to take the risk?
Can these women find the answers to their worries, acceptance, courage, support here? Join them at the same time next week to find out…
What did I think?
Milly Johnson is one of my favourite authors and her new book, Same Time Next Week, is a fabulous as the author herself. I could never pick a favourite Milly Johnson book as I love them all but Same Time Next Week would be a definite contender.
There are a lot of characters to get to know and you certainly do get to know them throughout the book. I loved them all as I laughed, cried and fist-bumped the air with them. I was totally invested in their lives and I am missing them so much I want to read the book all over again right now.
It's so good to have older protagonists who are coping with changes in their bodies and their lives. Milly tells it like it is and she is so right about the whatdoyoucallit...the menowhatsit thingy. I thought it was just me who forgot words and left sentences unfinished. I really must thank Milly for making me feel not quite so abnormal.
This book has everything: lots of drama, bucketfuls of emotion and a huge heart. It's like a soap opera in a book and I didn't want it to end. An easy five stars for another outstanding Milly Johnson book and a very highly recommended read.
I received an ARC to read and review for the blog tour and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
