Forty Love By Jane Costello

Pub Date: 10th of May

Is it ever too late for a comeback?
I think the older you get, the more that question can sometimes brew in your brain: "Is it too late to start over, or take a different path?"… well… this book will inspire you to think differently. This warm, funny and steamy romance is the perfect summer read!

Plot:
We get to follow Jules, who’s in her late 40’s. After her husband passed away, Jules

focused on being the best mother to her daughter. However, it’s time for her daughter to leave the nest, she is off to uni and on a trip through Europe, ultimately leaving Jules alone at home.

To fill her time and also quench the worry and anxiety in her chest, she joins an amateur tennis club. Through this club she bumps into her teenage crush Sam!

With both tennis and her growing feelings for Sam, Jules goes on a journey of the difficulties of moving on and the courage to go on a different path.

Thoughts:
I thought this book was very wholesome and it genuinely made me giggle! 🤭
I also found it refreshing to read about a female protagonist in her late 40’s and the raw reality of early menopause, and how your relationship with your body changes!

The writing is easy to follow and it feels like you really get to know the characters.

The romance was nice, but I would like to say the relationship between Jules and Sam is not the main focus of the plot.

Overall I had a really good time!
So grab your bevvy and sun hat and read this book! You don’t wanna miss it! ☀️☺️
