About the Book:

Three women. One crazy hen weekend. A life-changing decision.

When three women meet on a mutual friend’s hen weekend on the Scottish island of Arran, they get more than they bargained for when one of them has the genius idea of proposing on 29 February, like the age-old Irish tradition.

High-flying businesswoman Anouska and boyfriend Zach are deliriously happy and madly in love. If only they had more time together. But now she’s pregnant and doesn’t know how to tell him since having kids hadn’t featured in their plans.

Dog walker Jess lives with her childhood sweetheart, but they’re already like an old married couple, without the romance, or the wedding, or the ring. When Mark doesn’t propose on New Year’s Eve, Jess is gutted and decides to take matters into her own hands.

Ellie and Scott still live apart after six years, and his lack of commitment is a sore point. She’s up for a huge promotion which involves moving country. It’s make-or-break time. She needs to know he’s worth turning down the job for.

The women meet weekly, helping each other with decisions big and small, becoming each other’s support system in the run-up to ‘the big ask’.

Will love conquer all or will their hopes and dreams come crashing down around them?

 

Review:

I absolutely flew through this book! Three women are ready to take charge in their relationships and want to ask their boyfriends to marry them rather than waiting for them to ask. To make it extra special they want to propose on February 29th. I was caught up in the three ladies lives and their relationships. This is a perfect romcom to enjoy in the middle of winter because it makes you feel warm. The book is set in winter but it still feels like a ray of sunshine when I read it. I loved how these women became friends and supported each other throughout the book.
