The Women Who Ran Away by Sheila O'Flanagan
4.0

A perfect escapist read!

The locations in this novel are simply stunning and so vivid you feel like you are right there alongside Deira & Grace.

I loved the unlikely but timely friendship that was formed between the main characters. Both on their own journeys but they unexpectedly come together and support each other through their heartache.

It just missed out on 5⭐ because I felt it was a bit of a slow burner to begin with, though it definitely picked and I was eager to find out how the treasure hunt ended. Grace's story is reminiscent of PS I love you, as her late husband sends her on a treasure hunt.

Overall an uplifting absorbing summer read sure to sweep you off to sun-soaked locations.

A huge thanks to Anne Cater & Headline Review for gifting me a copy in return for an open & honest review.
