BLOG TOUR: A Random Act of Kindness by Sophie Jenkins



‘Wonderfully uplifting’ Trisha Ashley

It only takes a moment, to change a life for ever…

Fern is too busy making sure other people feel good about themselves to give much thought to her own happiness. But somehow, without her noticing, life has run away from her.

Suddenly, Fern realises her vintage clothes business is struggling, and the casual relationship she’d always thought she was happy in doesn’t look so appealing.

But sometimes, karma really does come through. And when Fern goes out of her way to help 85-year-old Dinah, little does she realise their new friendship will change her life.

Dinah may have troubles in her past, but she’s lived and loved to the full. Can Dinah show Fern that even the smallest acts of kindness can make the world a better place?

If you liked Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine or How to Be Happy, you'll love A Random Act of Kindness.

Claire's Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was such a sweet book to read! 

Firstly, this story is about Fern, who loves vintage clothes, so after losing her job she decides to set up a market stall selling you guessed it....vintage clothing. The clothes were described beautifully and the whole way through this book you could easily visualise the whole settings. 

Fern was a great character, who was completely obsessed and her life revolved around fashion. A good chunk of this book is about fashion in fact. Then you have Dinah, who was just such a great character, full of life, and a big inspiration to Fern.

Overall this was a good read, perfect for a light-hearted, beach read.
