My review

Violet always dreamed of becoming a midwife. And now she has the opportunity as she starts going to University.

She goes to the same University as her best friend Zoe and even share a house together.
Sharing the house together is everything the girls wished for, and even if they have to share it with Luke, it’s just perfect.

But will Violet manage to keep her fear anxiety under control? And is the job of midwife her true calling?

This story shows a lot of reality…

First of all, even if you’re going to the University doing following classes for the job you always wanted to do, it’s isn’t an easy walk in the park…

Add a main character who is suffering anxiety, and you’ll know that Violet is having even a harder time than expected!

Yet I enjoyed truly reading this book!

All the characters are down to earth, wanting to succeed in their studies. And not like in so many books and movies of people going to University, going to parties all the time.

Violet, Zoe and even Luke have their priorities straight and even when facing a small setback, they don’t give up easily.

It also shows that being a midwife isn’t only the happy moments of helping during birth, but it’s also about being very patient and being calm yourself.

The thing I enjoyed the most is the friendship that sparks through the book. Violet and Zoe are always there for each other, and when Violet is having a hard time, Zoe is there for her, no matter how much fun Zoe was having.

A story about chasing your dreams, having real friends by your side and overcoming your fears!
