A Year of Mr Maybes
Never say never to falling in love…
Val didn’t expect to be starting again in her seventies, but when life gives her lemons, Val is determined to make lemonade.
Settled into her new home – a picture-perfect fisherman’s cottage in the small Cornish seaside town of Lowenstowe – Val is ready to start a new chapter. And with her son due to get married next Christmas, there’s also the little job of finding herself a plus-one to help her face her ex-husband and his new girlfriend.
With the support of her neighbour Connie, and after decades of married life, Val takes the plunge back into the world of dating with trepidation and excitement. But can she remember how the single life works, let alone what her type is? There seem to be plenty of Mr Maybes, but no sign of Mr Right.
As the year passes, and as friendships and community life flourish, Val begins to blossom. And as Christmas approach, she might just decide she doesn’t need that plus-one after all – although never say never…
Judy Leigh is back with her trademark promise of laughter, love and friendship. The perfect feel-good novel for all fans of Dawn French, Dee Macdonald and Cathy Hopkins.

My Review
Val is in her 70’s and starting to really enjoy her new life in small town on the seaside. She has her new BFF, Connie, who is so much fun to do things with. When she finds out her son is getting married in Canada, she and Connie think that it would be fun for her to take a plus-one to the wedding. So dreads seeing her ex-husband there with his new girlfriend. Connie suggests that they try to find her a man to date and aim for dating a new man each month until she finds the right guy.
Each chapter in the book is named after each one: Mr. January, Mr. February, Mr. March……. Some months are fun and exciting, but after a while she decides that she’ll be much happier by herself. Then she finds out that her ex-husband wants her back. What will come next? Will he be Mr. Right? Or is it too late for romance?
