Spotlight – The Cards That Changed My Life By Joanne Ryan Curran

Today I’m shining a bright spotlight on the latest book by Joanne Curran Ryan called ‘The Cards That Changed My Life’.

What the back cover says –

Jane longs to be as successful as her famous actress sister, Gillian, and find love. She’s in love with her friend, Ben, but he’s unavailable.

After she loses out on a promotion to Ben, she visits a second-hand bookshop in Dublin, where she is given a pack of magical cards, from Tara, the kindly bookseller she has known since childhood.

The cards give her a change to step out of her comfort zone and make her wishes come true. But every wish has a consequence, and once you pick a card there’s no turning back.

Do the cards hold all the answers or are they too much to handle?

I’m halfway through this book and I’m absolutely loving the Irish charm to this modern day fairytale. The characters are an interesting mix and I’m feeling such an empathy for Jane by the way she’s treated particularly by those she is closest to. She leaves in her sister’s shadow and she is a much nicer person than her. The story is a lovely magical vibe to it and flows at a gentle pace with twists and drama that really pulls the reader in.

A story filled with hope, romance and ambition, ‘The Cards That Changed My Life’ is the perfect book to curl up with this autumn.

You can buy ‘The Cards That Changed My Life’ from Amazon and is availble to buy from good bookshops.
