The Second Chance by Charlotte Butterfield ~ Review & Blog Tour

Writer's picture: HalesHales

Nell has always known her expiry date.



After a psychic predicted her death date twenty years ago, she has lived life accepting she would never see forty – embracing adventure and travelling the world, choosing fun over commitment and laying down roots.



So, when the fateful day comes, Nell feels ready. She sends five excruciatingly honest confessions to her sister, parents and past loves, knowing she won’t be around to face the consequences. Then, with her heart laid bare, all that's left to do is check into a glamorous hotel and wait for the inevitable…



But when Nell unexpectedly wakes up the next morning broke, single and very much alive, she must figure out exactly how to seize this second chance at life. And then it also hits her:



What on earth happens now that everyone knows how she really feels?



This is the perfect book club read for fans of David Nicholls, Holly Smale and Beth O’Leary, asking what it is that makes for a life well lived.





I really enjoyed this book, I liked our main character Nell from the off. She was a really nice character who made me laugh so much at times as she seemed rather ditzy! Some of the situations that she found herself in were just something that no one else would have found but Nell found them alright! Honestly there were some scenes that I was laughing uncontrollably at!


I thought that the fact that she had been preparing for her death for so long and had really come to accept it was really endearing - and I can't imagine her shock at waking up with nothing! But our supporting characters did just that and supported Nell, whilst she was also changing their lives with those letters that she had written!


Honestly a brilliant read and I loved the writing style and thought that it flowed so well and I was hooked into wanting to know what Nell was going to do with all this additional time that she now found that she had. I loved the ending and thought that it was so fitting for Nell. I was quite sad when it ended to be honest as I felt really fond of Nell and her family & friends and didn't want it to end.
