About The Author
My Review
Starting Over in Starshine Cove by Debbie Johnson is a heartfelt story about love, loss, and second chances set in a charming seaside village. The novel follows Connie Llewelyn, a former celebrity chef who left behind her high-flying London career for a quieter life in Starshine Cove with her soulmate, Simon. Now in her fifties and widowed, Connie runs a café while navigating grief, self-doubt, and the challenge of rediscovering herself.
When Zack Harris, a charismatic TV producer from her past, arrives, Connie is faced with new possibilities—both in love and in redefining her own identity. As she grapples with the pull of her past and the promise of the future, the novel explores themes of resilience, aging, and the power of community. With its rich character development, emotional depth, and vivid setting, this uplifting tale is perfect for anyone who believes in fresh starts and the magic of second chances.
