I loved this book right from the first page。 It was warm and funny and I enjoyed not only the story but the characters as well。 It was one of those books that I was sorry to finish it as it held me all the way through。 I will certainly be reading more by this author in the future。 My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review。

Oh I do enjoy these books by Shari Low which take place over the course of 24 hours。 I loved all three books in her winter trilogy and the summer book which was published last year。 So it’ll come as no surprise to know that I loved this one too！ There are some connections to previous books so you may recognise some of the characters you’ve met before， such as Hope and Maisie in this one。 In fact， I hope we’re going to meet some of the characters again in a future book。 Don’t worry if you haven’t Oh I do enjoy these books by Shari Low which take place over the course of 24 hours。 I loved all three books in her winter trilogy and the summer book which was published last year。 So it’ll come as no surprise to know that I loved this one too！ There are some connections to previous books so you may recognise some of the characters you’ve met before， such as Hope and Maisie in this one。 In fact， I hope we’re going to meet some of the characters again in a future book。 Don’t worry if you haven’t read other books though， as the story is a completely standalone read。As with the other books， the story focusses on four main characters and we hear what is happening to them in chapters covering two hour periods over the course of one day。 And what a momentous day it is to be for all the characters。 I really enjoy this way of telling the story as it makes it seem really fast- paced and each character’s chapter ends with you wanting to know more and desperate to read on！Maisie is an actress and singer， helping out at a graduation fundraiser。 Scott is planning to tell his wife that he’s leaving her after their daughter Carny leaves home。 Kelly， his wife， has news and secrets of her own。 And Harriet， a widow in her 80s， is getting home after a stay in hospital and dreading it。 Her husband had always insisted that they keep themselves to themselves and now that he’s gone， the loneliness is overwhelming。I loved following all the stories and trying to guess not just how they’d resolve but also how they’d connect。 I felt so engaged with each of the characters’ lives and so concerned for how everything was going to play out。 That’s one of Shari Low’s talents， making her readers really believe in her characters and really care about what happens to them。 I found this to be a really compelling read and flew through the pages。I really liked the multi-generational aspect of the book， with love and friendship explored from youth to old age。 There were plenty laugh out loud moments but also some really beautifully written emotional scenes。 There was one point near the end when I was just about cheering out loud for Maisie for a variety of reasons！ Shari Low is just brilliant at capturing the highs and lows of life and bringing them together in wonderfully uplifting， emotionally engaging books。 I highly recommend this for your summer reading list。 。。。more

A story of love for all ages。 This was a fun but emotional read。 It tells the story of four main characters and I loved how it covered all the drama and emotions between the relationships over the course of one day in Summer。 Cleverly written， the stories began to intertwine and link as we learnt more about each person。 Maisie and Carny were definitely the ones who really shone for me。

This is my first book by Shari and I was very impressed。 I will definitely be looking out for more from her。 The story centers around the four main characters Maisie， Harriet， Kelly and Scott and is based on one day。 I enjoyed getting to know the characters and their backgrounds。 I would describe this book as a hug in a book and a much needed escape

What an amazing story。 The characters are lively and full of personalities。 In the beginning， the introductions of all the characters and who they are to each other were quite confusing， as there are so many characters。 Eventually， after the story begins I got to know each character and their relation。 Each character had their personality which comes through from the pages。 I can hear their tones as I read。 It would make for a great Netflix series。 These characters can continue to another book。 What an amazing story。 The characters are lively and full of personalities。 In the beginning， the introductions of all the characters and who they are to each other were quite confusing， as there are so many characters。 Eventually， after the story begins I got to know each character and their relation。 Each character had their personality which comes through from the pages。 I can hear their tones as I read。 It would make for a great Netflix series。 These characters can continue to another book。 I would love to know what happens in the future with this unconventional family。 Carny is who I truly thought shone through the pages。 Her whimsical outlook on life and humor made the heavy moments easier to read。 Even if this story doesn't continue to another book， I can't wait for Shari Low's next book。 Thank you to Boldwood Books and NetGalley for letting me read this ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Set over the course of a day， One Summer Sunrise follows the lives， loves， and lies of a bunch of people in Glasgow who all meet at a charity music event。 The character traits of the cast are ones that we all come across in real life， so whilst this is enjoyable as fiction， it's still believable。Just like the One Day in Winter/One Day in Summer books， it can be a little overwhelming to read about so many characters to start with， but by 10% in， you've worked out who is who。 There's always the ad Set over the course of a day， One Summer Sunrise follows the lives， loves， and lies of a bunch of people in Glasgow who all meet at a charity music event。 The character traits of the cast are ones that we all come across in real life， so whilst this is enjoyable as fiction， it's still believable。Just like the One Day in Winter/One Day in Summer books， it can be a little overwhelming to read about so many characters to start with， but by 10% in， you've worked out who is who。 There's always the added bonus of characters from previous books turning up too。 I love Shari's style of writing。 Her words are easy and enjoyable to follow and I really enjoyed the ending for Harriet and Maisie。I read this as an ARC on NetGalley thanks to Shari Low and Boldwood Books 。。。more
