4 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Quinn and Minnie
are born on New Year's Eve, in the same hospital, one minute apart. Their lives
may begin together, but their worlds couldn't be more different.
Thirty years later
they find themselves together again in the same place, at the same time. What
if fate is trying to bring them together?
Maybe it's time to
take a chance on love...
We all have a hatred for New Years Eve, come on, admit it!! There is so much pressure on us all to have the best night of our lives and enjoy ourselves, so imagine the extra pressure if your birthday is on New Years Day, and things always go wrong and you feel jinxed!! Poor old Minnie feels exactly that way after learning at a young age that a baby born minutes before her on New Years day not only took the prize money for the first baby born in the new year, but also stole her name! Since then, she has always felt like she has lived life in the shadows of this person called Quinn who she's never met.
This is a warm, enjoyable story, probably more suited to a wet October afternoon than a lockdown heatwave, but I felt I could relate to all the characters. I especially loved Bev, I think we all need a Bev in our lives, and ditsy Fleur was magical!
I often got a bit distracted with the dates going backwards and forwards, but that is more due to my menopause brain not being as quick as it used to be, but saying that it was still a lovely, enjoyable read and I would highly recommend it to all my friends.
