I am delighted to be taking part in the Publication Day celebrations for The Do-Over <\/i>by Phoebe MacLeod. <\/b>It is published today on November 28th by Boldwood Books<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
Thea Rogers has dedicated her life to her career in
\ncorporate law. Apart from her colleague and long-time friend-with-benefits
\nAlasdair, she\u2019s forgone friendships and relationships, and now she\u2019s on track
\nto become her firm\u2019s youngest ever female partner. She should be ecstatic. But
\nwhen a senior partner dies unexpectedly, Thea realises the people at his
\nfuneral are only there out of duty. Suddenly, Thea can\u2019t shake the question: if
\nshe disappeared tomorrow, would anyone care?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As the life choices she’s made suddenly make less and less
\nsense, Thea is forced to make a decision. Stick with the original plan or take
\na completely different path.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thea has a chance to do it right this time, and fill her
\nworld with the things that matter. But can people really change? And once life
\nstarts looking up, why does it feel like there\u2019s something\u2026 or someone she
\ncan\u2019t seem to replace?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0My Thoughts<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thea seems to have everything sorted from the start, as a top corporate lawyer. You find out pretty quickly why she has felt so driven to succeed all her life and why she shuns relationships. When an unexpected event happens, she reflects on her life choices and decides to go on a completely different path. This shock her family. She seems to have to rethink how to conduct relationships with\u00a0 family and friends. A favourite character fo me has to be her PA back in the office who sees all too clearly what can go wrong and how to avoid pitfalls.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 Thea finds out who really matters to her and with some, she is truly shocked to find out. There are moments of humour both through the events and in the dialogue and car parking wars, in particular, really made me smile. The story goes at a good pace and introduces some surprising characters, settings and situations. This is an enjoyable read with much to smile at and romance found in surprising places.
