From Goodreads
One week will change all their lives...
Janice Butler is working as a waitress at her mother’s Blackpool boarding house when she meets Val Walker and Cissie Foster who are visiting from Halifax, and the three form an instant friendship.
Romance beckons for all of them, but the events of one evening at a local dance will change all their lives for better and for worse, and all three girls will discover that life doesn’t always turn out as one would expect.
A charming tale of friendship and romance set in 1950s Blackpool, perfect for fans of Margaret Dickinson and Rosie Archer.
My thoughts
I gave this a 3.5 stars or 7/10. My copy of this book came from BorrowBox the digital lending side of my local Library.
This is the first in the Northern Lives series by this Author. I have read the series out of order, as I read Love and Marriage which is the second in the series before this one. My enjoyment of this story wasn't spoiled in any way with having read the stories out of order.
This is a gentle romantic series with a little more to it than just romance. It tells the story of the relationship between three young ladies who meet when two of them visit the boarding house in Blackpool that Janice's parents own. Val and Cissie live in Halifax, Yorkshire they travel to Blackpool to spend a week holidaying and with Blackpool being local to myself it was lovely to read about local sights that form part of the backdrop. One particular part reminded me of a sponsored three legged event that I took part in as it followed some of the area that was mentioned while one of the characters was walking at night.
As fate plays it's hand and events happen that have consequences for the three young ladies, it's how they deal with it that forms what will happen later in their lives.
Grab a cuppa and a copy of this and settle back to immerse yourself in the world of the three young women.
