Summary
The warm, sparkling first novel from Melanie Murphy, author of nonfiction best seller Fully Functioning Human (Almost) is full of heart, humour and magic.
Erin is about to turn 30, and her life is definitely not where she thought it would be. She hates her job, she's jealous of her perfect flatmate - and she has just called off her wedding.
A trip home to Ireland to celebrate her birthday with her beloved grandmother is exactly what Erin needs, and she's spent days preparing herself to break the news about her broken engagement.
What she's not prepared for is the gift she receives: a secret family heirloom that will change everything.
Could this be the answer Erin has been looking for - the key to the happy life she's always dreamed of? Only time will tell....

Great debut novel from a lovely author.
The story clicks very well with the Irish narrator and is a very good example of casual magic in an otherwise ordinary everyday life. Very relatable characters and enjoyable dialogues . Loved the casual rainbow mentions too.

I enjoyed every moment of this story.
Absolutely loved it. Had me so hooked that I finished it in 2 days. I loved the story - it was real, honest and touching. It covered a lot of interesting topics, but still managed to flow really nicely. It was written with loads of personality too! I could really relate and empathise with the characters. Had me giggling so many times and the modern references made it feel so current.
Melanie, you've done yourself proud and I can't wait to see what you do next!

A beautiful & feel good read!
I loved this book by Melanie Murphy! I felt like I had lots of things in common with Erin with judging people too quickly, having slef-esteem issues & the bond that she had with her gran! I was in tears with their final reunion in the last chapter! It made me think about the 'what ifs' in my life and it reminded me that I'm happy living in the present. Making sure to have no regrets! Thank you Mel for sharing this wonderful story x

Not My Usual ‘Cup of Tea’, but I Enjoyed it!
I am a fussy reader. Crime fiction is my favourite genre, but I also enjoy some general contemporary fiction. This book was pleasant, but when ‘the gift’ was revealed, I initially thought “I’ll be returning this one”! However, I persevered for a while and found that I could suspend my disbelief and really quite enjoy it. I can’t say more without revealing a spoiler.

This book gives me the tinglies
I couldn't stop! I listened to the audio book while reading the actual book. I cried, laughter and cried again. I think anyone could relate to the main character. Not having a clue where your going in life is so stressful and I think we all wish we could take a look at what certain situations would be like if we did x and y.
I truly fell in love with this book. definitely something I would read again.

Characters you instantly love
I couldn't put this book down! I cared so much about what Erin was learning, the relationships she developed and how it would all come together in the end. Fantastic!

Fantastic story, voices need work
Love this story and everything in it. The voice of Reid and Dan are cringe and far too aggressive.
