Okayyyy, so I just finished A New Life in Amsterdam by Helga Jensen and I’m absolutely in love 😍📚
Sandy’s life was feeling… a little too full, of things, memories, and emotions. After her daughter moves out, she’s left with an empty house and a habit of filling it with impulse buys she doesn’t even need. But then she takes the bravest step, decluttering her life, quite literally, and starting over on a barge in Amsterdam. And honestly? Reading about her journey felt so freeing and heartwarming 💛
This book isn’t just about moving to a new city, it’s about rediscovering yourself, finding community, and realizing that joy doesn’t come from the things we own, but from the people and moments we cherish. The Amsterdam setting is dreamy, cozy canals, friendly faces, and a touch of romance that makes you smile 🌷✨
It’s such a feel-good story about second chances, self-discovery, and new beginnings. The kind of book that feels like a warm hug on a quiet evening 💕 This was my first read by Helga Jensen, and I absolutely loved her writing—comforting, vivid, and full of heart. ✨
Thank you so much to the publisher and the author and NetGalley for providing me a copy before release! A New Life in Amsterdam is out now, and it’s perfect for anyone who loves cozy, uplifting reads set in beautiful places 🌸
