On a Beautiful Day by Lucy DiamondMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Three and a half stars.
Four friends meet up for lunch to celebrate one of their birthdays but a near-miss tragedy forces each of them to re-examine their lives and decide what is important because each of their lives is about to change dramatically.
Eve, accountant, married mother of two and control freak has found a lump in her breast.
Jo, nurse and recently divorced has just met a new man, could he be the one?
India, children's music teacher and married mother of three is particularly affected by one of the victims and it brings back memories of her own youth.
Laura realises that she is desperate for a baby, she just needs to get her husband on board after their three miscarriages.
The ripples from the incident are felt by all four women and when they meet again for the next birthday lunch, none of their lives will be the same.
I enjoyed this but I didn't feel any real difference between the women, they all sounded the same and I couldn't really tell them apart. Also, and maybe it's a facet of having four women with very different life issues, it felt as though this was a bit of a shopping list. Divorce? Tick. Baby? Tick. Cancer? Tick. Affair? Tick. Job crisis? Tick. Children problems? Tick. I could go on.
