The Second Chance

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.

This book has been a delight. From beginning to end I loved this and devoured this in just one sitting. This is quite possibly Charlotte’s best book yet.

Imagine knowing the exact date and time, you were going to die. Just like Nell, I’m sure I’d have some words to say to some people. Only, Nell, thinking she wouldn’t be there writes very honest letters.

You can imagine her surprise when she wakes up the next morning. This book has been everything I hoped for and so much more. I laughed out loud numerous times throughout and became completely immersed in this one.

This book was hilarious and lifted my mood. I couldn’t help but be in a good mood. This was everything I had hoped for and so much more. The characters are brilliant and I loved getting to know Nell better.

The Second Chance is perfectly paced and addictive. There was no way that I was putting this down once I started. Butterfield has delivered and created a book which is completely brilliant.

Everything about this book has been what I was hoping for. This is brilliant. I have no hesitation in recommending this one. A brilliant read from beginning to end.
