• Title The Saturday Morning Park Run
• Author Jules Wake
• Year 2020
• Genre Contemporary

This is the story of two women. One old, one young. One looking for new adventures. One looking for a purpose. Both needing a friend. And this is how, along with two little girls in need of a family, a gorgeous stranger, and a scruffy dog, they bring the whole community together every Saturday morning for love, laughter and a little bit of running…(well, power walking). Some people come into your life when you need them the most.

Thoughts

A pretty standard ‘finding yourself’ rom-com, wherein a stressed and busy workaholic suddenly finds herself with a lot of time on her hands, and two nieces to look after. A fairy godmother (not quite literally), a park run project to organise, a wayward sister to track down, and a love/hate relationship to navigate all add up to a very good read. Not groundbreaking but a very comfortable and comforting book to indulge in.
