Life Is Yours

Abigail Yardimci

Jess has life sorted. That is until her fiance makes a sharp exit and she must learn how to turn a crisis into something worthwhile.

 

Jess has life sorted. With friends all around her, a ridiculosly adoring fiance and a successful business under her belt, who could ask for more? But all that is whipped out from under her when the fiance decides to make a sharp exit on New Year's Eve. Therein follows the Week From Hell, eternally streaked mascara and Chardonnay a-plenty.

But Jess is on a path. It has a million detours and a lot of stubbed toes, but it is a path none-the-less. On an otherwise boring business course she discovers what she really wants. In strange new friendships she takes part in a series of seemingly crazy challenges. And finally, on a last minute holiday to Turkey she finds peace and a whole new rhythm to her heart. A rhythm that is only just getting going . . .

An interesting opening that sets the stage for the coming story. The plot is good but I think a little less description and a little more dialogue in the beginning chapter would make the story really come alive.

I think your opening would be stronger if you cut the first "and so she kept on walking" saying it twice makes it lose impact, and the current second sentence is powerful and would have immediately impressed me. The first chapter is really repetitive and it takes away from impact. I recommend joining some sort of critique group, because this story has a LOT of potential, and you have strong prose overall. With some changes, this is a book I could see myself backing. If you get some critique and make changes, let me know and I'll give it a second read.

This book lives up to the cover - very well written, good dialogue. On my shelf! Clare
