This was such a poignant story and very uplifting. It explored friendship in a beautiful way and in a beautiful place. It’s funny how our life choices can change the future and how complex they can be at times. Is there room for second chances? In this story, Low weaves two tales, one in 1990 and one in 2025. Both timelines are about Moira, Carina and Lisa. Three singers who were together all those years ago in Hong Kong.
In the earlier timeline, the three young ladies are living their lifelong dream, singing in a fancy hotel bar. They have an incredibly close bond until Moria makes a decision that changes them and their lives forever. When we get to 2025, Moria retires and goes back to Hong Kong to face a reunion with Carina and Lisa. The author clearly shows how much the ladies have changed, inside and out, but she also shows how nostalgia can bring grace. The characters are well-thought-out individuals, and their emotions are at the forefront. We find out the hows and whys of their relationships and the circumstances that helped shape these ladies. I was completely invested in them.
This was a book that celebrates female friendships and the ties that bind us. We shouldn’t be afraid to chase our dreams or confront the past. It reminded me that even after years of being apart, the bonds of true friendship never break. What I took away from this story was the fact that we should be brave and not be afraid to take on something new. Highly recommended to those who love women’s fiction, which will tug at your heartstrings and include moments of humour, heartbreak, and hope. I loved the optimism in this one.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
