A truly beautiful book, loved reading this one. I know it’s just a book but it gives you hope that no matter where you are in life, anything can happen and your life can change even when you least expect it to.

A Year of Taking Chances opens with the very drunk Tina Matthews and Jodie Saville on New Year's Eve ordering the Cosmos to forever change their lives. They will be thirty in less than two years and do not want to be single any longer. Fast forward and Jodie is now happily married to Ben. Living in France now, Jodie makes a whole new life. However, with no love life to speak of, Tina has decided to focus as a literary agent, even making career changes to that end.
As happy as I was to see Jodie’s life evolve, being the hopeless romantic that I am, well, I wanted the same kind of happiness for Tina. She has a great heart and deserves a great future as well. Jennifer Bohnet definitely kept me engaged in rooting for Tina. There were also some other elements to this story that kept my interest as well, including good character development. The only thing I would have liked to see changed is things expounded upon in Tina's budding relationship.
Thank you to. HQ Digital and NetGalley for the ARC to review.

I really enjoyed this book. It made me feel good and thinking about what following your dreams means.
It's well written, interesting characters and you feel involved in their story.
Strongly recommended.

This book started off really well. Strong willed women who make their dreams happen by making tough choices and working hard at them. A woman starting her own business, and another taking a leap of faith and moving abroad. I loved the concept and it was sweet. However the end was a bit too moralistic for me.
