Review Card & Book Review – The Second Chance By Charlotte Butterfield

Nell has always known the date she’s going to die.

After a psychic predicted her death date twenty years ago, she has lived life accepting she would never see forty – embracing adventure and travelling the world, choosing fun over commitment and laying down roots.

So, when the fateful day comes, Nell feels ready. She sends five excruciatingly honest confessions to her sister, parents and past loves, knowing she won’t be around to face the consequences. Then, with her heart laid bare, all that’s left to do is check into a glamorous hotel and wait for the inevitable…

But when Nell unexpectedly wakes up the next morning broke, single and very much alive, she must figure out exactly how to seize this second chance at life. And then it also hits her:

What on earth happens now that everyone knows how she really feels?

About The Author

My Review

Nell Graham is fully prepared to die, having spent the last nineteen years getting ready for this moment. She travels the world, sells her possessions, shuts down her bank accounts and social media, and sends farewell letters to loved ones. She even books a room in a luxurious London hotel to end her life. However, she wakes up alive the next day, with no plan and nothing to her name. This unexpected second chance forces Nell to confront what’s truly important, reconnect with loved ones, and embrace life anew. The novel follows Nell and her dear friends Tom, Greg, Jenny, Polly, and Juno as they explore what it means to get a second chance. The story combines poignant moments with hilarious scenes, like Nell’s escape from a hotel in a ballgown and a comedic Mrs. Doubtfire-like episode. The narrative is both heartwarming and humorous, celebrating the joy of rediscovering life.
