Swimming for Beginners will show you how a child can open your heart even if you aren’t a mother.

Loretta has her life under control. She’s chasing a big promotion, she’s marrying the “perfect man” and she has a flawless five-year plan.

This plan does not include children.

But when a complete stranger asks her to watch her six-year-old daughter in an airport and never returns, both their lives will be changed forever.

A little human in fairy wings and sparkly cowgirl boots will turn Loretta’s world upside down and maybe, just maybe, show her exactly what she’s missing.

Overflowing with humour and heartbreak, Nicola Gill takes us on a relatable journey of self-discovery through the power of a child’s love.


✨My Thoughts✨

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Loretta is a woman after my own heart, I knew she was my kind of women straight away when she avoids social gatherings so she can stay at home and get lost in a good book with a takeaway!.

This story was so much more than I ever imagined it would be, it was absolutely incredible, who would thought that a chance encounter in an airport would change Loretta and Phoebe’s life forever.

The story grabs you in and doesn’t let you go until the very last page, you’ll go through all the emotions whilst reading it, even crying and then angry then back to sad again but also so much JOY!.

I recommend you go into this book without reading any reviews before had so you can have the full experience and appreciate the wonderful story even more.
