Review of Lucy Diamond’s On a Beautiful Day

On a Beautiful Day by Lucy Diamond

The Blurb

It’s a beautiful day in Manchester and four friends are meeting for a birthday lunch. But then they witness a shocking accident just metres away which acts as a catalyst for each of them.

For Laura, it’s a wake-up call to heed the ticking of her biological clock. Sensible Jo finds herself throwing caution to the wind in a new relationship. Eve, who has been trying to ignore the worrying lump in her breast, feels helpless and out of control. And happy-go-lucky India is drawn to one of the victims of the accident, causing long-buried secrets to rise to the surface.

This is a novel about the startling and unexpected turns life can take. It’s about luck – good and bad – and about finding bravery and resilience when your world is in turmoil. Above all, it’s about friendship, togetherness and hope.

Genre: Women’s Fiction.

My review:

I always enjoy Lucy Diamond’s books. I love her down to earth characters and relatable storylines. I liked the relationships between the group of friends in this book and finding out about each of their individual stories. I tend to listen to books on my kindle while driving but found this one slightly harder to keep track of due to the number of characters. Once I got straight who was who, I was urging them each to find their happy ending and, as ever with a Lucy Diamond book, finished the book with a contented smile.
