How far would you go to change your life?
When Eliza Woods sees an advertisement for someone’s whole life for sale – their house, car, all their belongings, even their clothes and cat – not to mention a trial-run in their job and an introduction to their friends… she decides it’s fate.
Grabbing a different life with both hands is exactly what she needs. Even if 26-year-old Carrie’s wildly-social life and job in a bar couldn’t be more different from Eliza’s quieter existence.
As for Carrie, she’s heading off to Greece, desperate to run away from everything she’s familiar with in England. The two women message each other after the deal has gone through, with Eliza excited to go for cocktails with Carrie’s friends before her first shift at her new job.
What Carrie doesn’t tell her is why she put her life up for sale. And what Eliza doesn’t tell Carrie is that she’s about to turn 75. And that isn’t her only secret…
My Thoughts:
Eliza is bored of her life right now so when she see’s an advert for Carrie’s life for sale she grabs the bull by it’s horns and goes for it. Carrie is a 26 year old woman who is a social butterfly and is living her best life but she needs to get away from the rat race and decide what she wants from her future. Little does she know that Eliza is 74 years old but who can’t teach an old dog new tricks and Eliza is going to do everything in her power to embrace her new life. I liked the idea of this book, I think it worked well, however I did find the start of the story a little slow but then it got better and better. I hope it encourages anyone that is feeling low that if you make one small change then things will start to look brighter. I liked how it all came together. A good read.
I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
