An absolutely delicious read that I didn't want to end. I was engrossed from start to finish and had to ration myself!
This novel follows Ellen, the main character from when she applies for and gets a job in a bookshop, where she meets Ben. Before long she finds herself falling for him ....but it is not to be as he leaves for America.
Move on a few years and she finds herself working in an Ad agency, living in London becoming successful and meeting Leo... should be a recipe for a ' happy ever after'..... But life is never that straightforward!
A really engrossing tale of family, friendship, love, & loss . Highly recommend.
Moving On is another super read by one of my favourite Irish authors Roisin Meaney. It’s both an uplifting and at times emotional read that had me engrossed from the very start. It’s an easy read but also one that will keep you captivated and entertained until the final chapter.
Fantastic read! This book follows Ellen from the 80’S til present day. She has many loves,losses and a few adventurers along the way. From Galway to London her life spans decades. Great read into life in the 80’s.
Loved this book very thought provoking read.

Thank you to NetGalley and Little, Brown Book Group for the chance to read this early!
Moving On by Roisin Meaney is a heartwarming and uplifting story about love, life, and finding your place in the world. I loved following Ellen’s journey as she moves from Galway to London, navigating relationships with Ben, Leo, and Danny along the way. Ellen was such a relatable character, and her story is full of warmth and charm. A beautifully written tale that’s perfect for fans of One Day.
This was a really beautiful story following Ellen's life by way of her moving multiple times throughout her life. It felt like such a pleasure and privilege to be privy to her story. The writing was spot-on and the pacing of the book felt very natural and kept me engaged. A lovely book!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Moving On by Roisin Meaney is a stunning, emotional rollercoaster that had me completely hooked. Ellen’s journey from her small hometown in Galway to the bustling streets of London is filled with love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. The three men she meets along the way—Ben, the sweet bookseller; Danny, her childhood friend; and Leo, the charming banker — each offer a unique twist to her path, making her journey all the more complicated and real.
What I adored about this book is how it spans years, showing not just Ellen’s evolving relationships, but her growth as a person. It’s such a beautiful, honest reflection of how life and love don’t always go according to plan, but how resilience and hope keep us moving forward. *Moving On* had me laughing, crying, and rooting for Ellen every step of the way. One of my new favorites—highly recommend if you love stories about life’s messy, beautiful twists!
An exciting plot, interesting characters and similarities can be drawn with The Flatshare and One Day. An easy read.
This was a fabulous story telling the life story (to date) of Ellen starting when she moved h9me for the first time at the age of 20 and following every house move she’s had since whilst telling the stories of the key events that happened in each location. It was actually heartwarming to see how she built up a career and meet the key men in her life as well as observing her relationships with her best friend and family. This was a very easy read and recounted Ellen’s life so beautifully that you could almost feel you knew her and admire her strength as she dealt with tribulations and admired her successes along the way too. This is a very gentle and uplifting read and beautifully told.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book. A gorgeous 4 star read book from me. What an exciting plot, vivid storytelling and relatable, rich characters. I could put this book down – absolutely loved it.
This was amazing. I loved the depth of Ellen’s journey. It’s not just about who she loves, but about finding a sense of home; within herself, in the places she calls home, and in the relationships she holds dear. It’s messy, it’s real, and it will make you second-guess what you thought you knew about love and fate. The writing is sharp, the pacing spot on, and the romance both tender and swoon worthy. If you’re into stories where finding your way is as important as who you end up with, and you’re a sucker for great romantic tension, this one will leave you hooked.
