Blog Tour: Single All the Way by Karen King

Book Description:

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 realise 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.

                                  MY REVIEW:

Single All the Way by Karen King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Meg is 34 and wants to start a family before she gets to old to have kids. Her husband keeps putting it off and then finally tells her he never wants kids. She feels like she wasted her life and that he lied to her and led her on so she leaves. He feels they should be happy just the 2 of them because they love each other.
As Meg is ready to tell her mom she receives a phone call from her mom that she left her dad. She isn't happy and hasn't been for awhile. He is happy just sitting home and puttering around in his garden and she wants to go out and see the world. So Meg and her mom, Sally go on vacation together and to make it even harder is that it s Christmas.
We watch these 2 women , who are mother and daughter deal with their decision and try to understand each other's feelings. I found both of them very confused but pretty much set on what they want. Their spouses think they are selfish and only thinking of themselves. I did not see that at all. I found 2 women who have always wanted their life a certain way and now being told no and to be happy with what they do have. Very emotional on a lot of levels.
I received this ARC from Bookouture and NetGalley for a review.
