Blame it on ABBA

By Lisa Nimmo

What a heart warming, beautifully written book. When I borrowed this book a few weeks ago I thought "This is gonna be a bit of chick-lit". But it's not. Not really. It a honest telling of the highs and lows of an individual who gave up the day job to chase the dream of performing on stage. I loved the honesty. It just goes to show that through grit and determination anything is possible. I highly recommend you give it a read. Especially, if you feel like you're reaching the point in your life when you feel those dreams you had at were sixteen/ seventeen are starting to slip away.
