Book Review: Chances by Freya North

Vita is feeling a bit like a lost soul. She runs her gift shop That Shop by herself, despite it being co-owned by her ex-boyfriend Tim and it is the only thing that really keeps her going. Tim cheated on Vita and broke her heart, but Vita is wondering if she should give him one more chance, one more chance to love her as she deserves to be loved.  Oliver, single dad and hard-working tree surgeon is reluctant to start dating again for fear of forgetting his beloved wife DeeDee, and he doesn't want to upset his precious son Jonty. But when a pear tree in Vita's garden unites the pair, at first in hatred, both begin to wonder if they deserve more than what life has dealt them so far. Will they take a final chance to be happy or walk away once and for all?

I really used to enjoy reading Freya North's novel, but for some reason I couldn't at all get into her last few which I felt was a real shame. When I was sent a copy of Chances, I did at first dismiss it because of my track record with her last few books but luckily something made me pick it up to give it another chance, and I am really glad I did. The cover is gorgeous, its shades of pink and gold look like a real summery read, and actually suits the book quite well now I have finished it. The cover actually makes the book look quite whimsical whereas I found much deeper than I expected, and that is what was enjoyable about this book overall.
