About this listen

‘A new Lucy Diamond book is one of the happiest highlights of my calendar’ Katie Fforde

It’s a beautiful day in Manchester and four friends are meeting for a birthday lunch. But then they witness a shocking accident just metres away, which acts as a catalyst for each of them.

For Laura, it’s a wake-up call to heed the ticking of her biological clock. Sensible Jo finds herself throwing caution to the wind in a new relationship. Eve, who has been trying to ignore the worrying lump in her breast, feels helpless and out of control. And happy-go-lucky India is drawn to one of the victims of the accident, causing long-buried secrets to rise to the surface.

On a Beautiful Day is a novel about the startling and unexpected turns life can take. It’s about luck – good and bad – and about finding bravery and resilience when your world is in turmoil. Above all, it’s about friendship, togetherness and hope.

I spent the whole of this book wanting alternately wanting to shake my head at the glaring inaccuracy of the insight into the hospitality industry and shake the silly, shallow, selfish self congratulating main character- awful, awful, awful. I only finished it because I had paid for it and had no luck trying to return it. Don’t waste your time and money on this whilst there are so many good books out there.

Dreadful, awful, etc
