I really enjoyed this book. Such a lovely read with interesting characters that become your friends and you want only the best for them. I'd live in Sandycove!
Highly recommend.

Life's What You Make It by Sian O'Gorman is a pleasant small town novel set in an idyllic seaside village in Ireland. I enjoyed this book very much, and I could feel the author’s love of Ireland and the small villages in the beautiful country.

Liv O’Neil has a very stressful job in London and the only relief from the constant stress is her roommate Roberto and his lively antics. When her mother has a fall, and her employer gives her a one-month paid leave, she returns to the small town of Sandycove and learns to love small-town life again.

Sian O’Gorman’s love of Ireland shines brightly in this lovely book about small-town communities and family. This lively well-paced book is full of delightful characters and its optimistic outlook on life was a delight to read. I immediately sympathized with the main character and was rooting for her during the entire book. The village of Sandycove was very well described and I felt like it was a village I would enjoy living in.

I highly recommend this book.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I seriously could not put this book this down! The setting and descriptions are vivid and evocative, and the innermost feelings of the characters are emotional and come alive on the page.
The writing was fabulous and I'm honestly looking forward to reading more of Sian's work!
