Esmé Peel is approaching thirty with
some trepidation, but hope in her heart. If she can just get her long-term
boyfriend Andrew to propose, she will have ticked everything off her 'things to
do by the time you're 30' list. She didn't reckon on finding another woman's
earring in her bed however, and soon she finds herself single, homeless and in
need of a new plan. Her best friend Carys gives her the perfect present – The
Single Girl’s Calendar – which has a different cure for heartbreak every
day:
Day 1: Look and feel fabulous with a new hair style.
Day 2: Step out of your comfort zone and try something new.
Day 3: Reconnect with friends and enjoy!

Despite thinking it's a bit of a
gimmick, Esmé hasn't got any better ideas, so she puts the plan into action. By
the end of week one she has four new male housemates, and despite a broken
heart she is determined to show Andrew she can do more than survive, she can
thrive.
Carys reached for Esmé’s hand and gently
squeezed it.
‘So, what have you done all morning?’
‘Apart from visit cafes, I’ve walked around
the city, stared in shop windows and had a meltdown when I found myself in the
crime section at Waterstones…’ Esmé coughed as a wave of nausea lifted to her
throat. ‘I felt fine until then. How many times has that store saved my skin
with his birthday presents or stocking fillers? Not anymore. Those days are
gone.’
‘In that case, I have just the thing,’ announced Carys, releasing Esmé’s hand before
rummaging in the plastic bag beneath her chair. ‘Don’t laugh, but this actually
helped me through the break-up with Myles.’
‘I thought I helped you get through that.’
Carys raised her head mid-rummage, her
corkscrew curls bouncing as she disagreed.
‘Nope! You know nothing about break-ups,
Esmé. Seriously, your relationship has been so long-term you haven’t a clue.
But this…’ Carys lifted a pink boxed object onto the table top. ‘This might
help.’
‘What the hell?’ said Esmé, staring at the
advent calendar styled object with its tiny perforated doors.
‘It’s 100 per cent tack and it only cost a
fiver but—’
‘Carys?’
‘Hear me out, Esmé… it’s worth a laugh if
nothing else.’
‘Yeah, sure,’ said Esmé, lifting the calendar
to read the blurb on the reverse.
Want a sassy new way to overcome a break-up?
Or simply an opportunity to focus on your life? The Single Girl’s Calendar is
made for you! Behind every door is a task that will help you focus on you, and
you only! A whole month of pampering, mindfulness activities, caring and
sharing ideas which in just four short weeks will have you feeling on top of
the world! An insightful way to put a spring back into your step as a strong,
independent woman!
‘Are you serious?’
Carys nodded.
I am not going to tell you what happens in this book because I want you to experience it and the joy of reading it for yourself. It is about heartbreak and romance, it is comedy and adventure combined. There are secrets and lies, many of which Esme tells to herself but also that friends and loved ones tell to each other.
It is a book about acceptance and the ways we judge others as well as ourselves. About repeating mistakes just because we are too tired or afraid to fight for what we really believe.
So I have made it sound deep and emotional. While it is, this is a fun read, fabulous for the beach, a sunny weekend in a hammock or curled up in front of a cozy fire.
I think a book club would love it.
I enjoyed the author's writing style as well as the plot and conflicts.
