Review:Single All The Way by Karen King #BookonTour #Bookouture #NetGalley

Snow is falling, bells are ringing… and my heart is broken. I pick up the phone to tell my mother about Oliver and me. But before I can, she says, ‘I don’t exactly know how to tell you this… But I’m leaving your dad.’

Single together for the first time, 34-year-old Meg and her warm-hearted, long-suffering mother Sally are cancelling Christmas, and running away to a tiny cottage on the Cornish coast. For Meg, it is the perfect place to heal, away from all the mistletoe, while for her mother it has a special, and secret, place in her heart – from a love story that seems a lifetime ago…

Meg and Sally find they’re getting to know themselves, and each other, better than ever before. But as they are unable to resist getting involved in the village Christmas celebrations, they encounter two handsome local strangers.

Sometimes, it’s being away from home that helps you realize where your heart is. What neither woman knows is that, by the time the new year rolls around, one woman will have fallen in love with her husband all over again, and one marriage will be over for good…

An escapist, romantic and heart-warming novel for fans of One Day in December and No One Cancels Christmas.

Heidi Lynn's Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Karen King, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Karen King’s Single All the Way’s fun cover and title definitely caught my eye. However, this book was not the light read that I assumed it was. It is a powerful emotional read regarding relationships.

Karen would like to dedicate this book to Ann a fellow author and friend. Memories of their joint author visits still make her chuckle.

From the very beginning of the book I was shocked! Both Mother and Daughter are leaving their spouses around Christmas. Both for different reasons. During the course of the book learn why they decided to leave them. But you also will hear their spouses’ side as well. It is very eye opening and emotional read.

Karen does an incredible job with the character building in this book.

One thing that I loved how the mother and daughter became closer during everything they were going through.

There were many twists and turns that I didn’t see coming.

Karen got the idea of Meg and Oliver’s story was inspired by a piece she read about a man who had never felt loved as a child so was scared to be a father himself, and he had chosen to have a vasectomy to make sure he never had children.
