Winging It by Emma Murray

-

Emma Murray’s newest book is the third book starring Saorise. The first two books have 4.5/5 star reviews on Amazon. I’ve been reading thrillers recently and this book was a nice change of pace. I love lighthearted stories with feel good endings and this one fits the bill. Be ready to add to your TBR pile!


Book back cover

When her husband David announces he’s been offered a job in New York, Saoirse is thrilled. The glamour of the big city, the shopping, the culture, not to mention the free Manhattan apartment and business class air fare – what’s not to like? There’s just the small matter of making it work for their daughter, five-year-old Anna, who isn’t so keen to leave her friends and school behind.

The Big Apple in the middle of summer isn’t quite the holiday Saoirse envisaged, and with David away with work, New York apartment sizes on the miniscule side, and the pace of life faster than the sleepy London suburbs, solo ex-pat parenting pushes Saoirse to her limits.

And as the pressure builds and ‘faking it till she makes it’ isn’t cutting it, there’s only one thing for it – Saoirse and Anna need a new plan, and ‘Winging It’ might be their best option…


Review

When I picked up this book I didn’t realize it was part of a series. As the beginning of the book provided background, I could tell this was not the first in Saorise’s story. After reading this book, I want to read the other books but I didn’t feel I missed anything by reading this book first.

Saorise has a nice life in London and moving to New York City is a BIG change. I liked reading about her challenges and even though I have not been in this situation, I could relate to her. The author’s writing made you want to be Saorise’s friend and cheer her on. I could picture the scenes as they played out. To say it simply, I absolutely loved this book. If you are a fan of Sophie Kinsella, you will want to read this series.

Welcome to my stop on The Children’s Book Review in partnership with Catherine Rose for her book, Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection. About the Book: Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection tells a story of the magic created when the unique talents of a diverse group of children are shared in a colorful adventure. The adventure begins when we see through a boy’s window to find a young trombonist pausing his practice to wonder if other musical voices exist. When an alluring treble note wafts through his window, he begins an excited quest to find the answer. Playing his horn through his neighborhood, the boy draws other curious children to play their unique instruments along with him. Together, they played: “Lend your voice, play your part! Something grand is beginning― join us for the start!” The procession of music makers is touched with magic when their combined voices, raised in harmony, orchestrate a colorful miracle. The ease of poetry and vibrant il...
