Determined to stay vibrant and keep a youthful outlook on life she invites her friends, Gina and Rosie to celebrate with her in New York, one of her favourite places and where she feels closest to her late husband, Joe.
On arrival, there’s a surprise, secret gift in store for Deedee of a small, ramshackle beach house in the beautiful Hamptons where Joe spent his childhood. But the house isn’t the only secret and discovering the truth will change everything….

Verified PurchaseI love Alex’s books she always makes you feel that you are part of them & the first journey with Deedee Gina & Rosie was a memorable one in , Bring me Sushine which it certainly did , I was so excited to be returning with them on yet another journey with this book to New York , bringing laughter Tears , up’s and downs along the way , such a joy to be back with these three ladies, oh to have a house near the sea would be a dream come true . , I could relate to Deedee with her grief having lost my sister who also left me a note to enjoy my life , grief never leaves you, you have to live with it , I did like the idea of moving forward rather than moving on , so thanks for that Alex , it helps . Such a lovely story which I absolutely enjoyed
