The Lost Girls of Ireland
The Lost Girls of Ireland: A Heart-warming and Feel-good Page-turner Set in Ireland | Susanne O'Leary
2 posts | 2 read
A heart-warming story about family secrets and one woman's escape to dreamy Sandy Cove on the stunning west coast of Ireland. The picturesque beach of Wild Rose Bay is the last place Lydia Butler thought she'd be. But having just lost everything, the run-down cottage she inherited from her Great Aunt Nellie is the only place she can take her daughter, Sunny. Hidden away in a tiny Irish village, she can protect Sunny from the gossip in Dublin, and the real reason they have nowhere else to live... The cottage is part of the old coastguard station and other eccentric residents are quick to introduce themselves when Lydia arrives. Lydia instantly feels less alone, fascinated by the stories they have about Nellie, and she's charmed by American artist, Jason O'Callaghan, the mysterious man who lives next door. But the longer Lydia relaxes under the moonlit sky, the more the secret she's keeping from Sunny threatens to come out. And as she finds herself running into Jason's arms, she knows she must be honest and face up to the past she has tried to forget. Has she finally found people who will truly accept her, or will the truth force her to leave the cottage for good? Will transport you to Ireland to relax on the shore and stare at the perfect emerald waters. The Lost Girls of Ireland is perfect for readers of Debbie Macomber, Sheila O'Flanagan and Mary Alice Monroe. What readers are saying about Susanne O'Leary: 'I couldn't put this down!

A cozy story of heartbreak and love. A novel that had some depressing moments in the early chapters but far more interesting and enjoyable in a new location on the coast. An old house left by an elderly aunt woman who chose independence over love. The niece moves into the old cottage and finds town filled with the love of Ireland, beaches and really good and kind people. 4/5

Halfway between pick and so-so, actually. This was a SUPER fast read, despite being almost 300 pgs. I read it for my book club, as we all picked out on book set in Ireland.
Pros: Good characters, relatable plot, Ireland, stand-alone
Cons: Moments of repetition, last 15% felt rushed, especially in that the romance really didn‘t ramp up until then too.
