Lifesaving for Beginners

Lifesaving for Beginners

by Ciara Geraghty (Author)

Synopsis

Kat Kavanagh is not in love. She has lots of friends, an ordinary job, and she never ever thinks about her past.
This is Kat's story. None of it is true.

Milo McIntyre loves his mam, the peanut-butter-and-banana muffins at the Funky Banana cafe, and the lifesaving class he does after school. He never thinks about his future, until the day it changes forever.
This is Milo's story. All of it is true.

And then there is the other story. The one with a twist of fate which somehow brings together a boy from Brighton and a woman in Dublin, and uncovers the truth once and for all.

This is the story that's just about to begin . . .

Definitely her best yet . . . What is so fabulous about this emotional, very readable book is the way it's told through the contrasting voices of Kat and Milo . . . Clever, poignant and absorbing * Fabulous magazine on LIFESAVING FOR BEGINNERS *
'Spectacular . . . LIFESAVING FOR BEGINNERS is a novel that needs to be seen and needs to be read.

A beautifully written, somewhat whimsical and very encouraging tale about grabbing hold of life's reins, breaking away from the monotony of a dull routine and following your dreams . . . emotional, joyous . . . I adored it. * Daily Mail on FINDING MR FLOOD *
Sad, funny and wise * Marie Claire on FINDING MR FLOOD *
I just can't get over how charming this book was. It was a delight to read * www.chicklitcentral.com on FINDING MR FLOOD *
Move over Marian, it's Ciara . . . impressive and highly entertaining [with] one of the most authentic female characters I've read in women's fiction for a long time . . . lots of biting humour and a darker side beneath the laughs. * Irish Independent on SAVING GRACE *
'Hilarious . . . But there's death and guilt, too, in this sometimes dark, tear-jerking novel' **** * Company on SAVING GRACE *
