The lives of three very different women are about to change in fun and surprising ways when they join an exclusive coaching program: THE LIFE MAKEOVER CLUB. But transforming their lives and achieving their goals will prove much more complicated than they thought...
Glamour girl Miranda has a ticking biological clock due to a medical issue and is on a deadline to meet her ideal man and have a family before it becomes impossible. Can the club help her through the maze of disaster dates and boost her self worth to find the love she seeks?
Fitness fanatic Gina is trapped in a toxic marriage and unfulfilling job, desperate for freedom to follow her dreams and live the life she deserves. Can reaching out for help through the club give her the confidence and strategies to leave her old life behind and start anew?
And frazzled young mother Cara is searching for purpose beyond motherhood, keen to discover her own identity after a whirlwind romance and three children. With her time and energy limited, will she find calm in the chaos and a way to bring her creative dreams to fruition?
Life Coach to the Stars Liz Ashford is determined to help them succeed. Through her one-of-a-kind club and its monthly meetings, over the course of one year these new friends will discover secrets and strategies, deal with life-changing challenges, and be encouraged to step outside their comfort zones to create the lives they’ve dreamed of.

I have always enjoyed Juliet Madison's novels, so I was thrilled over the chance to read The Life Makeover Club and started devouring it not too long after I received a copy. This was a novel Juliet wrote when she was just starting out and is finally publishing it now. I am so glad she put it out into the world, as it is a great story and all the characters are sympathetic and relatable, even when I had nothing in common with some of them. I just cared so much about them and couldn't wait to read more whenever I had a chance!
There were times I would email Juliet because something in the story struck a chord with me or because I got so angry about one of the situations and was so worried for the character involved. I don't want to say too much more as to not spoil anything. I just really liked this novel overall and encourage you to read it. Especially if you feel like you are in a rut and need a little kick to get going again, even if it's with a small change in your life.
One part of the story reminded me of this post I wrote a long time ago. Even though my kids are teenagers now, I still wouldn't mind having this experience!
A while back, Sara and I wrote about mental health and this novel made me want to share the post again, as this story addresses the topic a lot.
This delightful and inspiring novel is available tomorrow, so be sure to add it to your autumn (or spring, in Australia) TBR!
