As a huge fan of Shari Low, I was excited to read this, and it did not disappoint! While there are many characters to keep track of, I was glad to recognise some from previous books. The story revolves around chance meetings at the airport, and each character’s journey is so compelling that it keeps you hooked. It’s cleverly written, with separate storylines weaving together in a satisfying way. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and was genuinely sad when it came to an end!

Shari Low has the ability to make you devour her stories without realizing you've even started to read. Like with all her novels i flew this one and wanted more. The characters are so fabulous but also so relatable.

I enjoy Shari books.

Characters are well written and believable.

This book was set over a 24 hour period which made it fast paced and kept me turning the pages.

A tale of four people each in the midst of life altering events and how their dynamics help them to prepare for the future. The entire book takes place over 24 hours and explores the dynamics of friends and strangers. A feel good, hopeful book with big feelings.

Another cracker from Shari Low. Written in her unique story over 24h style, this is a fabulous story. Brilliant characters (including some old favourites), second chances and a bit of a mystery to uncover. Perfect.

If you have seen any of my other reviews of Shari Low’s books you will know that I am an avid fan and have loved every single one of them. I cannot sing her praises enough and think part of the reason is that the Glasgow connection.

Following the format favoured by Shari Low in most of her books, this story takes place over a 24 hour period and centres on 4 main characters - Kara, Ollie, Zac and Alice. All of whom are planning a journey which could change the course of their lives forever.

This is another fantastic book which I was immersed in from the very first page. In this book, we meet a whole host of new characters as well as a few firm favourites from other books. Highly recommended.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced read copy of this book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

I'm no stranger to Shari Low's books, and I have come to really enjoy the format and writing style. It's been great to experience her development as a writer. The book focuses on 4 main characters and plays out over the course of a 24-hour period. It's set in Glasgow and covers a whole range of themes, including betrayal, domestic violence, infidelity, bereavement, secrets, career development, friendship, family, and connection. The themes of friendship are strong between Alice and Val and Kara and Ollie. I feel that everyone needs a friend like Val, although I would not want to get on her wrong side. Alice's story is heartbreaking but also full of hope. I really enjoyed the development of the stories, finding out about the characters, and working out how they may be connected. It's definitely a feel-good book with the right amount of tension and good pacing. It's packed with detail and makes you think. The ending was perfect; another success from Shari!

Very enjoyable page turner as is usual for Shari's books. Nice to see familiar characters and read how their story picks up pace. She's so great at stringing it all together.

I love books by Shari Low. She has an incredible talent for creating extremely interesting stories with incredibly relatable characters and One Day and Forever is no exception. This book kept me reading far too late at night as I just had to keep reading! Thanks #NetGalley #BoldwoodBooks

Okay, I'm becoming rather obsessed with Shari Low's books.
Especially her 'One Day' books, where events of several different characters all take place over one day, and their stories link together.
This is a standalone, but some of the characters from other books make an appearance, and I would definitely recommend the previous books too, because they are fabulous.
The One Day books for me are usually read in a day, so it's perfectly apt.
Shari Low always writes characters that I instantly care about, readers will be immediately invested in their lives. The plot is very fast and I couldn't put it down.
Another fabulous read.

The Queen of 'one day in the life of...' books is back with another captivating story of love, life and relationships. Just when you think you've read the best she has to offer, she comes back with another heart-warming, emotion strewn read.

We reconnect with friends of old and acquaint with new, reinvesting into their stories and lives.

Told from multiple POV, One Day centres around 24hrs in January with four lives set to change forever.

It's enjoyable, engaging and as always an absolute delight to read.

This was another fabulous read by the wonderful Shari Low. I have read a few of her books now and I just love them . One Day and Forever had me completely hooked from the very first page . You are immediately brought straight into the story and honesty won’t want to put this book down until the very last page . Shari creates wonderful characters who after reading this book I felt like I knew them all personally . There are one or two characters that who we have met in a previous book, but don’t worry as this book can easily be read as a stand-alone. I also love the way the author gives us a synopsis of the characters at the start of this book . So if you love a book with wonderful characters and a great story I highly recommend One Day and Forever. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sheri Low’s books are like never-ending soaps, where you get caught up in the characters’ drama and theatrics.

As with all of her books, we’re introduced to a cast of characters at the start, which helps us keep track of who’s who and what to expect from them.

This book delves into various friendships and relationships, exploring their dynamics and complexities. The writing is direct, captivating, and engaging.

All of the characters are relatable, dealing with everyday issues and situations that we can all relate to. They’re realistic and unforgettable. While this book is a standalone, there are appearances by characters from previous books.

If you enjoy women’s fiction with a dash of romance, then you’ll definitely enjoy this book.

This book is a testament to the power of connection and the resilience of the human spirit. It’s a beautifully written, emotionally rich novel that will resonate with anyone who has ever found themselves at a crossroads. The interplay of humor and heartbreak makes it another great story from this author.

The narrative kicks off with Kara McIntyre, who is supposed to be on her way to a dream destination wedding in Hawaii. However, life throws a curveball, leaving her without a job, a home, and, most painfully, a fiancé. Kara’s world is in freefall, but she isn’t alone. Her best friend, TV personality Ollie Chiles, is facing his own crisis. Ollie must decide between staying by Kara’s side or rushing home to salvage his crumbling marriage after his wife is caught in a scandalous viral moment.

Meanwhile, Alice Brookes is fleeing the wreckage of a disastrous marriage and a scandal that left her life in tatters. Her journey is interrupted by a mysterious letter that could rewrite her future. Finally, Zac Conlan, reeling from a personal loss, is heading back to Dublin when a startling revelation threatens to derail his plans entirely.

One Day and Forever is a poignant reflection on life’s twists and turns, with themes of friendship, love, betrayal, and redemption at its core. Low’s writing is warm and engaging, filled with witty dialogue and emotional depth. The pacing is brisk, keeping readers hooked as each character’s journey unfolds.

I enjoyed this book very much, and it held my attention from the very first page to the last.

It is a wonderful story of friendship, family with some love and romance thrown into the mix. The book is full of emotion and (no spoilers here) left me with a warm and fuzzy feeling at the end.

Although there are some overlap of characters from some of the author's other books, this is intended to be a standalone novel and works extremely well as one. The entire book takes place over the course of a day and as such gives the story real immediacy.

This is fabulous story telling and I highly recommend this book.

Shari Low always produces unputdownable books! As the title suggests, this book is set over one day and let me tell you, a lot can happen in 24 hours! As in some of her other books, Shari writes in characters from other novels, which I really like. I will never pass a Shari novel and suggest them to friends and family.

One Day and Forever by Shari Low was another brilliant book from start to finish and I just love the way Shari writes.
I have loved all her books she has written and this one was no different One Day and Forever is beautifully written with a lot great of twists, turns that will have you turning your pages over to see what happens next.
I loved all the characters with tantalising story lines. This is a book is of love, friendship and support for each other.
I did not want this book to end.

I highly recommend this book I ❤️ it. Great holiday read.

Big Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for my ARC.

Shari Low is an author whose books I will pick up immediately. She is a skilful stoyteller who can weave magic into words. Whatever genre she writes, it doesn't matter. 2 pages into the book I am reading at the time, and I am in the palm of her hand.

One Day and Forever introduces new character while bringing old characters back for me to invest in all over again. The way Shari Low tells a story ensures I make new friends whenever I read one of her books. That's how it feels anyway. The tiniest details ensure I always take every character to my heart in one way or another. That's the charm for me with this authors books. I never want to leave whichever world Shari Low has written about at that moment.

The fact that she writes about what seems like normal lives has me engaged so easily. I want to read and take my time to savour it. Alas, it never happens. I'm that immersed. I read it so quickly! Too quickly. This is one of those books, I read it over a day, then regretted finishing it so fast. The worst part is waiting for the next one to be published.

If you love bingeable fiction with characters you don't want to leave and a plot that is all the more believable, pick up this book. You will not regret it!
Thanks to Rachel's Random Resources,Boldwood Books and NetGalley for the gifted ebook to write my honest review .

BLOG TOUR REVIEW

Review for 'One Day And Forever' by Shari Low.

This book has absolutely incredible and evocative descriptions that set you straight in the scenes. The cover, title and synopsis suit the storyline perfectly.

Wow!! Another absolutely gorgeous read by the very talented Shari Low!! This book is extremely well written with vivid descriptions setting the picture perfectly in the readers mind. The title, description and cover works perfectly with the storyline. It is one of those books that is very easy to read and perfect for any reading situations whether you are laying on a beach or curled up in front of a fire. It really does not matter where or when you are reading this as Shari will transport you into the lives of Kara McIntyre, Ollie Chiles, Alice Brookes and Zac Corlan at the turn of a page. This book is a standalone story but if you have ever read any of Shari's other books such as 'One Long Weekend' 'One Day With You', 'One Day After You' 'One Last Day Of Summer' you will recognise some of the characters in this one such as Alice Brookes and Val Murray, Tress and Bernadette. Regardless of whether you have previously read any of Shari's books or not she has very thoughtfully included a list of the main characters that we meet in this book as well as a small description of what they do, who they are and how they know or are related to others. It is an absolutely ideal read for anyone who is looking for a beautiful read that will have you hooked from beginning to end. I absolutely LOVED the realism of this storyline which made it so easy to picture everything that was going on which had been helped by Shari's fantastic evocative writing skills. I cannot wait to get hooked into more of Shari's books so I hope she is busy writing her next one!! In this beautiful storyline we follow our four main protagonists who are Kara McIntyre who has quit her job, called her wedding off and moved out of the flat she was living with her fiancé Josh, Ollie who is Kara's best friend, born in Glasgow but now living in LA after becoming famous in acting and is also married to another famous actress Sienna Montgomery, Alice who has finally escaped 30 years of living with an awful and abusive husband called Larry McLenn and is now living with her friend Val Murray and Zac Corlan who has just lost his Aunt only a year after losing his Mum. Shari does a beautiful job of not only weaving the storylines of these multiple protagonists together but also uses multiple timelines to show us how certain events happened. How do these amazing characters connect and meet? Will Kara be able to get another job, home and happiness? What does Ollie discover via social media? What does Zac discover to potentially change his whole life? Can Alice move on from her abusive past? Grab your copy of this gorgeous book today to find out for yourselves and I can promise that you will not regret it!! If you have never read any of Shari's books before you may even discover a new favourite author!! With a multi layered storyline ram packed with amazing and memorable characters, drama, brilliant locations, friendship, heartache, a wedding, romance, second chances and so much more what on Earth are you waiting for?? There is so much going on I was absolutely hooked from the very first page to the last. I absolutely devoured it in one sitting of several hours! It is a rollercoaster ride of emotions that will have you laughing one page and angry the next so it is definitely a book to read when you have a free day!! I absolutely loved the unique storyline exploring not just one or even two but four characters lives and how each of their lives are intertwined. It really is a gorgeous, heart-warming, gripping, moving, captivating, thought provoking, compelling and just absolutely stunning book filled with family, love, drama, sadness, relationships, heartache, new beginnings, dreams, hope and many more emotions. Shari has used an extremely wide range of characters with different ages, relationships, lifestyles and careers and brings them all together in an absolutely wonderful storyline. Not only are there are a wide range of characters but each and every one of them has their own unique personalities, from quirky to sarcastic, volatile to loyal, suave to straight talking. They all have their individual strengths, flaws and weaknesses and each and every single one of them come to life in front of your eyes as you turn the pages of this book thanks to Shari's stunning emotive and evocative writing skills. Along with the very helpful list of characters Shari also splits the storyline into different sections for each part of the day along with different chapters for each of our main protagonists which is another great way to avoid any confusion. This is definitely one of those books that will turn a frown upside down and make life seem a lot brighter. I absolutely LOVE the fact that we are told the story from so many perspectives as it means that we get to see a much bigger picture and learn more about how the different characters are feeling and acting about certain events and situations. Well, I think I have talked about this gorgeous book long enough so I will stop now rather than run the risk of giving too much of the storyline away and will let you discover what happens when you pick up your copy as I don't want to spoil anything for any future readers. However, I can promise you it will be a fun rollercoaster ride of drama, laughter and absolutely everything you could want in an absolutely unforgettable, laugh until you have tears streaming down your face, page turner!!!! Shari's evocative writing skills drew me deep into the book bringing the atmosphere and characters to life all around me. It is one of those books that I could not put down. I ended up walking around the house looking at my kindle reading away and absolutely devoured it in one sitting. I did not expect the twists and turns or the ending which is a HUGE bonus so congratulations Shari. I have started finding that many romance books have storylines that are too predictable and I am finding that I am guessing what is going to happen in most of them but I did not manage with this one so I am definitely looking forward to seeing if you can do the same in each of your pat and future books!!

Pick up this book, clear your schedules and get lost in this absolutely gorgeous page turner! I promise that you will NOT regret it!!!

Congratulations Shari on yet another absolutely stunning read that I just could not put down!!! I am looking forward to reading more of your previous and future books. I would absolutely love to see this book turned into a movie!!! This is the exact reason you are on favourite author list and here's to your next success 🥂

Overall an unputdownable, uplifting, heart-warming, poignant and just absolutely stunning book filled with family, tears, drama, romance, fun, laughter, friendship and so much more!!

One Day and Forever follows 4 different people on the same day. There are a few flashbacks for context but not many. It is a sweet story about these 4 people's lives. This is technically a series but the characters do not continue from one story to the next so it is a total standalone.

This is the second book I read by this author and just like the first book I felt there were too many characters at times. Some of the people we did not need to hear about and I found them distracting. There is a chart at the start of the book that you can refer to if you are struggling to keep the characters straight.

The story is somewhat predictable but I still found it sweet and uplifting. Though I did find some aspects of the ending a little too neat. Some of the characters maybe didn't even need to be discussed in the epilogue.

Overall, I'm glad I read this and I look forward to other books written by this author.
