I loved ‘Second Chances’ by @roisinm.bsky.social Roisin Meaney. It was a great read and I felt as if I was living there. Part 2 please!!! 💙📚

@roisinm.bsky.social In these terrible times in this world, it was an absolute joy to read this book. I loved the character of Lydia and her story. It made me cry but it also filled me with happiness.We need more books like yours, a good story, so well written. Thank you Roisin. 😘

Passing my train journey with @ronanhession.bsky.social Loving the deceptively simple prose, and the quirky characters. Reminiscent of an Irish Under Milkwood.

1. No more sleeps. Second Chances is out in the wild. Available in all good (and bad*) bookshops, and in libraries soon, if you're broke.
2. Publication day flowers.
3. Another walk to Spanish Point beach. Weather dire but unimportant.
*Joking. No such thing as a bad bookshop. 🙂📚💙
