Review Card & Book Review – For Once In My Life By Sian O’Gorman

A tale of love, discovery, and second chances…

In the bustling world of Dublin’s advertising scene, Kitty O’Sullivan, a copywriter, feels an unexplainable void in her life that she can’t quite pinpoint. Her five-year relationship with Dave is stagnant, her creative juices have dried up and she’s even entertaining thoughts of marriage as a cure-all! Something’s missing from her life but she can’t work out exactly what it is…

When Dave decides to take time out from ‘them’, Kitty finds herself momentarily liberated to explore life and have some fun. She and best friend Shazza are corralled into joining a five-aside football team where she meets the intriguing Sweetman brothers, Tom and Rory.

As they sail around the enchanting coast of Dublin, engage in fierce football battles and stumble upon a magical secret drinking den, Kitty falls in love with her new life – and her new self – but is it only temporary until Dave returns?

Will Kitty find the answers to life’s mysteries and take charge of her future?

My Review

We return to Sandycove, where we meet Kitty and her best friend Shazza. Kitty is organized and reserved, while Shazza is loud and dysfunctional, yet their friendship works perfectly. Kitty’s people-pleasing nature keeps her in a toxic relationship with her boyfriend Dave and his awful mother, causing her to lose her spark in both her personal and professional life. The novel blends humor with serious themes, emphasizing the importance of living in the moment and prioritizing oneself. The setting and characters are heartwarming, making it a must-read that celebrates family, friendship, and self-love.
