Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I rated this up. It was a fun and cozy read. This is normal the type of cliché story for me, but I didn't mind it as much. I love fleshed out friendships, especially between women and this one was well-done in my opinion. I would had rated a 3.75, but I did enjoy it, just don't find it to me something I would pick up again.

If you are the type of person that does not like stories to start of with letters... skip this.

I was super excited to see a nee Shark ow bbok and it certainly didn’t disappoint! Straight away im wrapped up in an emotional blanket with old favourites and new tea! Loved every part and I couldn’t put a r down literally! Shari has a way of drawing you in and making you feel complete!

Thank you NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the eARC.
This is a lovely book set mostly in Hong Kong, featuring 3 friends who meet again after 20 years. When they get together again one of them wasn't able to come, but her daughter was.
We go back and forth in time from the present to the time they were all three entertainers in a Hong Kong hotel and became incredibly close friends.
It's heartwarming, funny and at times a bit sad .... I liked it a lot!

I enjoyed this book different from my normal reads. I look forward to reading more books by this author.

I’m a big fan of Shari Low so was absolutely delighted to receive an advance copy of her latest book. Thanks so much to the publishers and NetGalley.
I adored this story from the very beginning. Some of the characters are old, familiar ones whilst others are new. What I can say is that they are all well written and you will care about them, (or not in the case of certain ones that shan’t be mentioned.)
There are some laugh out loud moments as well as some tear jerking ones. All in all a very well-balanced book. I have visited Hong Kong so some of the landmarks were familiar, especially the Star Ferry and the Big Buddha.
Sometimes I’m not overly keen on stories that skip back and forward from the past, but in this case it felt very well done and appropriate to the whole reading experience.
Looking forward to reading the next one.

This was a heartwarming read interspersed with some bittersweet moments and although this reads as a standalone it also provides a good catch up with some characters from previous books. Set over a week in current times and looking back 35 years at the time Moira, Carina and Lisa spent as entertainers in Hong Kong it’s told from several perspectives and reflects well on the life they had in their youth and how things have changed over the years. This is an engaging and uplifting character read and I really enjoyed seeing how the characters lives had altered in the intervening years and especially Lisa’s daughter Stevie discovering the part of her mum she never knew.
