I loved this book.
My favourite kind of storytelling that links three completely unrelated characters together in a story.

This was a book about families and relationships. As usual Cathy Kelly wrote a good story. I always like the way Cathy writes. The Year That Changed Everything was set in Ireland in the present time. Three woman celebrate special birthdays. Callie turns 50, Sam turns 40 and Ginger turns 30.
Callie has a perfect life and lives in a mansion with a spoild daughter and a controlling husband. Things change on her birthday and Callie needs her friends and family to get her life back.
Sam turns 40 and has a baby on her birthday - but being a parent is not easy and she needs her family to help.
Ginger is betrayed by her friends on her 30th birthday.
I love the ending in this book.

I thoroughly enjoyed this latest offering from Cathy Kelly. Each of the characters appealed although Callie and Ginger most resonated with me.

As usual, Ms Kelly's 'style keeps the pages turning, sometimes with urgency to know what is next, other times with a gentle flow as one story melds into another.

High on my list of a good involving read.

Three women born on the same day with ten years apart. Three life stories. Three basket cases, in one sens or another, take a year to get to the bottom, to get up and get their lives in order.

I loved this book because it felt like my own life story was told through three women. I could identify with all three of them. I loved them and I was made at them, in places. I wanted to know howq they would get to their happy endingings.

I had my own ideas. Some of them turned out to be correct predictions, some of them did not. Anyhow, I enjoyed this easy and comfortable read. 

The stories are stretched and exagerrated in some places but still, three stories become one and everyone is happy in the end, including the reader. 

A nice summer-time read when you want a bit of a rest.
