Blog Tour: What Now? by Shari Low*

 

'Twenty years ago, Carly Cooper went on an epic quest to track down all the men she’d ever loved and lost in the hope that one of them was her Mr Right.

Now, two decades and two teenage sons later, she thinks she might have got it all wrong.

As the years have passed, lots of things have changed, leaving Carly asking ‘What Now?’

With a divorce and an empty nest on the horizon, Carly sets off once more to Los Angeles with her band of trusty girlfriends, to find the carefree, wild and adventurous Carly Cooper that she used to be.

On this latest quest, Carly discovers a few home truths and has to decide If her marriage is worth saving or is there a new happy-ever-after out there, just waiting for her…'

So Carly Cooper is back and better than ever in this sequel to What If? (my review on that can be found here). This book is made up of 34 Chapters as well as a Prologue and an Epilogue. The Prologue (as well as the rest of the book) helps catch the reader up, so whether you have or haven't read the first one you can still read this one. Though I highly recommend reading the first one. 

From the absolute beginning of this story it is engaging and really draws readers in. Making them want to know how this story will progress. Like the previous book, this one also has songs attached to every chapter, meaning you have a built in playlist of songs to listen to when reading along. As the chapters pass readers will also get a look into the past as it is mentioned. These jumps in time are clearly labelled and it is clear to the reader when you are in the past and when you return to the present. 

One thing readers should be aware of because this did happen to me is that you will get caught in the 'one more chapter' lie to yourself. I certainly found myself saying 'one more chapter' before I went to bed. I stopped reading at around midnight having read 10+ chapters. Readers will be drawn into the story to the point that they won't notice time passing or the chapters changing. 

Now let me tell you a little bit more about the Author Shari Low, she is the #1 bestselling author of over 25 novels. This includes One day in Summer, My Month Marriage and a collection of parenthood memories called Because Mummy Said So. Shari currently lives near Glasgow. 

Overall I enjoyed this book immensely. I completely gobbled up Carly's story and the antics that she and her friends got up to. The ending is perfect, exactly what the reader will want and really wraps the whole book up with a pretty box. You can get your copy HERE

Until Next Time
