Summary
What if you had always dreamed of something more? Nell McNamara has a happy life: her boyfriend, Olly, adores her, their four-year-old daughter, Petal, is the centre of their world, and Nell has a steady job in the local chip shop. When the chippy needs a makeover, Nell jumps at the chance to unleash the creativity fizzing inside her. Inspired by what she can achieve - and encouraged by the very best friends a girl can have - Nell is determined to try something new. Waving goodbye to the chip shop, she starts up a new business making her own line of must-have handbags, which are soon flying off the shelves. It seems Nell's dreams are finally coming true, but her success doesn't come without a price. Before too long, Nell has to ask herself if it's really possible to have it all….
Full of fun, love, and laughter, soak up the sunshine with Summer Daydreams.

I adored this book!
Any additional comments?
Oh, I absolutely adored this book! If someone had said to me "It's about a girl who works in a chip shop who decides to start her own business making handbags", I don't know if I'd be that tempted to read it, but it really works. It's the way Matthews writes it; the clever development of the characters, the nice easy pace, the way that it flows along, the way that it's so easy to imagine the characters. And not just imagine the characters, but like them and root for them. The funny thing is, is that the main character is actually quite selfish, and yet she's still likeable. I think that is what Matthews is clever at; she steers away from the two-dimensional character and instead creates likeable characters with their warts 'n' all. We can all identify with having selfish moments or even crazy obsessions. The gentle twists and turns, the ups and downs of the story made this a novel that kept me engrossed from start to finish. I listened to this on audio and I liked the narrator's gentle voice. I especially liked her adaptation of the four year old girl in the story who was quite the little madam. More Carol Matthews please!

Brilliant Story 4🌟🌟🌟🌟
I loved listening to this book, it was so good that I listened to it all within 24 hours ~ I was hooked.
I was willing Nell to succeed, I loved their little family unit, it was actually quite realistic. Carole Matthews is such a refreshing author, I love the style in which she writes.
This book deserves 4 Stars because it had everything in it, drama, love, relationships, friendships, a wedding, small businesses, loans, money, laughs and even a chippy😀👍
Jane Collingwood is one of the best narrator's that Audible has, she is so good at voicing different characters and I thoroughly enjoyed it and totally recommend it!

Escape, Relax & Laugh Out Loud
This is light hearted, fun and refreshing. The story line is very simple, easy to read, even the books 4 year old daughter makes you giggle, My husband even admitted he couldnt help but listen and laugh when I had it on loud speaker. It also has a good moral behind the story.
Would reccomend for light read , on the beach or holidays or even just an escape and relax time. Other similar stlye books Ive read are the Shopaholics series by Sophie Kinsella.

Don't be put off by the cover.
Don't be fooled into thinking this is a fluffy lightweight book. It's much better than that. It's a story of family love and loyalty, hope and justice. A good story , it didn't take me long to finish. The narrator was one of the best, I think Petals voice , the little girl, was really clever and amusing.
I think it would make a good film to watch on a Sunday afternoon!

enjoyable
An enjoyable listen. I felt all the highs and lows of the story. A great ending with some predictable conclusions.
