My Review of The Sandycove Sunset Swimmers

When Catriona and her mother were set a challenge by a family friend to say yes to everything, they didn’t expect to be pushed into doing things that scared them so much.

But as Catriona reluctantly joined the Sandycove Sunset swimmers for a swin in the sea, she didn’t expect to find it so life changing. Swimming in the took her not just out of her comfort zone but into a place of zen! The fact that the swimmers, a motley group, were all so welcoming and supportive, made this experience even better.

Saying ‘yes’, soon saw her take on the big challenge of sitting in for a famous presenter and co-presenting one of Ireland’s biggest TV shows. All was not smooth sailing, but she grew in confidence and found herself open to many more new experiences, including romance!

Cat’s journey through this challenge is beautifully told by the author. But the book is simultaneously a story of a lot more people in her circle, who inspired by Cat, begin to say ‘yes’ to new experiences in their lives too.

The author weaves a lovely tapestry of emotions and creates such loveable characters, that make this book an experience that stays with you for a while.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.
