It was a poignant story. The main characters as children were a little more interesting than as adults. There were a few plot holes that did not close once the story ended.

This story is set in two time zones and features chapters by three main characters Heather, Lauren and Niamh.
A feud that occurred between them as girls is gradually revealed when they reunite again at their childhood homeland in Ireland. This stirs up lots of memories for each of them as they examine their lives now and in the past. As girls, they share a strong friendship promising to remain pals forever and swearing to meet up annually for their midsummer dawn swim in a lake where they live.
I found the story confusing at times as there are many characters in the book and that the bitterness and jealousy between them after all the years apart was too much.
Friendships and second chances features strongly as well as feuds.
My thanks to Net Galley and publishers Avon for the digital ARC of this book.

The Sunrise Swimming Society by Rosie Hannigan was such an uplifting and charming story.
A well written ok with characters who I absolutely adored. The characters are beautifully developed.
I could picture everything so clearly the vivid descriptions.
A great read that I very much enjoyed.

Thank You NetGalley and Avon for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!

The Sunrise Swimming Society is a lovely heartwarming story about friendship and relationships. It tells the story of three girls who became friends at school and how life never turns out the way you expect it to. I loved the relationship between the grandmother and the girls. The author brought each of their individual stories to life. I became engrossed in the trials and tribulations of the characters. Loved it!

This was a delightful, heartwarming story of friendship—- found, and lost, and found again. I loved the setting and the stories of each of the three very different friends.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

What a fantastic heartwarming book.
All about friendship no matter the restraints of age. Niamh Heather and Lauren start off meeting at the start of secondary school they are destined to be friends for life and it’s all glued together by an elderly grandmother of one of the girls.
But life gets in the way and after an alcohol infused argument they drift off to do their own things.
Fifteen years later they all are back in the village where it all started. What will happen and can they forgive forget and move on..
Brilliant book by a fantastic author who just pulls in the heartstrings every time

This book was a very angsty book. Lots of emotions. The book is about friendship and the losing of friendships. We journey through each woman’s self discovery. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley.

Lauren,Naimh and Heather,best friends during their teenage years and nutured by Lauren's grandmother Rosemary. All four of them swam in the lake at Rosemary's House every sunrise. There would be hot drinks and breakfast while getting dried and changed and this brought the girls even closer.
Then, as sometimes happens the girls start to argue,wanting different things from life and not agreeing with some of the choices being made.
The girls parting is acrimonious and they don't speak again for 15yrs.
I absolutely loved this book. Grandmother Rosemary was such a lovely person ,helping wherever she could. The three girls, now women all had some sort of problems in their life and no best friend to share it with. I was urging them throughout the book to listen to each other.
I liked all the characters and empathised with them.
I shed sad and happy tears at the ending which finished the story of nicely and was very poignant.
I don’t think I've read anything by this author but I'm certainly going to look her up after reading this.
5 stars all the way!
