Poles Apart by Anna and Jacqui BurnsSynopsis:“One sleepy village, four women… It’s time to give life a whirl

The Pembrokeshire village of Morlan is a beautiful place to live, but four of its the female residents find themselves in search of something more.

Gwen seems to have it all but in reality her marriage is on the rocks. Meg has struggled with her health and her love life has barely got a pulse, but is she ready to shake things up? Recently widowed Ivy is fed up, but at seventy-two can she revamp more than her just home? Mum of two Summer dearly loves her young children but is desperate to escape the sleep-deprived fog that has settled over her.

The announcement that pole dancing exercise classes are coming to the village hall offers something fresh to each of them. As the disparate group come together, a bond is formed that will allow them to overcome the trials and tribulations that lie ahead…“

My Review

This was such a great read that I raced through in less than 24 hours.

I loved these four women, Ivy, Gwen, Summer and Meg. I loved the way the pole dancing classes transformed their lives and brought them together, even though they were different ages and had different backgrounds.

Just like in real life they all had issues that needed dealing with, but the classes and their new friendships boosted their confidence, and gave them the courage to face their problems head on.

I got so caught up in their stories and enjoyed the way the plot played out that I almost felt that I was part of the friendship group.

If you’re looking for a wonderful story about supportive female friendships I definitely recommend this one, and look forward to reading more by this writing duo.

Thanks so much to Allison and Busby and NetGalley for my digital ARC.
