Parts of this novel were extremely engaging, however, I can't reconcile myself to the basic premise that to be completely happy you have to 'fix' your life.

I'll admit. This type of book it total catnip for me. Who doesn't want a chance for a do-over? Even if you're happy there's always something you'd do differently in the past. Have a chance to make something right. Stop a wrong from happening.

inspiring medium-paced

O que você mudaria em seu passado, se tivesse a chance de voltar no tempo? É o que se perguntam as três protagonistas nesse livro que nos fala de relações conflituosas, uniões forçadas, abusos disfarçados de afeto, e da necessidade de autoafirmação feminina diante de uma sociedade patriarcal e machista. Muito bom.

I missed a book in the middle, but I know this one was connected to “Summerhouse” and I really enjoyed that one, so when this book popped up in my Library app as available I snagged it. This author never disappoints, but somehow I hadn’t picked up the rest of this series yet. 

I enjoyed the tangle of lives, the women connecting to each other and the concept.  If you could go back and change a moment what do you choose and do you want to remember? There so many layers, and there is just something about these books I wasn’t ready to have end… I loved every snippet of the story.

Jude Deveraux is a guilty pleasure. This is the third installment in the Summerhouse series. Olivia is in her sixties, and is finally married to the man of her dreams. But, she wishes that they were married in their 20s and had 40 years of love together. Elise and Kathy regret their marriages, and are sent to stay with Olivia. After telling each other their stories, they find a card which tells them they can rewrite their past. They go to check out this possibility.
Light, sexy, love triumphs all - as usual in a Jude Deveraux novel, but they are so sweet, I enjoy reading them.

I have tried to read this twice now. Nope. Just can’t get into it.
