Despite living firmly in her comfort zone, Frankie McKenzie feels unsettled. She can't help feeling something's missing. Is it a home to call her own? Travel? A more rewarding job? A relationship? Before she can work it out, she dies in a freak kebab-related accident after yet another dud of a first date.
But life isn't over for Frankie. Instead, she is offered a second chance: Frankie can revisit key moments from her past to see if different choices will lead her away from that fateful takeaway and on to the fulfilling life she's always dreamt of.
Soon, Frankie will see what her life would have been if only she'd caught that one-way flight, accepted the marriage proposal or attended the intimidating job interview. Will she finally find her Mr Right? Or discover she already had?
What would you change if you could begin again ?
Ok, I loved the ending of this; I thought that parts of getting there were a little slow, but that's just my opinion.
The idea is fantastic; a look back at the major crossroads of your life, to see if taking the one less traveled by would make a difference. Frankie gets to try out five of these major life decisions and see how they affect things...and no spoilers, but I think she chooses the right stream to stay in at the end.
I've been trying to think what my five crossroads might be, if I were in this situation - it's a fascinating thought exercise! I think a book club would really enjoy this, as well as anyone who likes a feel good read. If you're looking for a book for your holiday, you can't go wrong with this one.
Begin Again publishes on the 6th of July, 2023. I received a free copy and am giving an honest review.
