From the SUNDAY TIMES bestselling author of Where the Light Gets in and All I Ever Wanted.
What happens when 'I do' turns into 'I don't know'?
Jeannie always wanted to fall in love, and now she’s finally got the whirlwind romance she dreamed of. Dan’s gorgeous, he’s a successful young vet, and he flew her to New York and proposed on Brooklyn Bridge. Jeannie has to remind herself this is actually her life. It seems too perfect, too magical, to be real. Yet it is.
But now she’s on her way to the wedding she can’t shake off the tight sensation crushing her chest. Is it just nerves . . . or is this all happening a bit too fast?
Jeannie has one last chance to shout, ‘Stop!’ But just as she grabs it, a twist of fate throws everything she knows into the air like confetti. What Jeannie learns about Dan, about her own heart, and about the power of love itself, will change her world for ever . . .
My Review:
I want to be extra careful; I don’t want to give anything away at all, this is one book that deserves to be unspoiled. This is beautiful, a wonderful read that tugged on my heart strings. In fact, I was so absorbed by Lucy’s brilliant storytelling I read it in one sitting.
The characters (well Jeannie really) had me frustrated at times, but they all took me on an emotional rollercoaster too. It was a good look at the different types of relationships we can have, and lose, in life. Romantic relationships, friends old and new, lost love, and families.
Jeannie has had a whirlwind year, I understand being swept away by the romance, the love story and the desire for the happy ever after but I didn’t see why a woman, who displays great independent spirit later in the book, wouldn’t have applied the brakes a bit earlier. I did grow to adore her, I felt for her and she did grow throughout the book. I wanted her to be happy, find the love she so clearly sought and deserved.
This book was so much more than I first expected, I loved the women Jeannie grew close too in the village and thought their fundraising idea was inspired!
I would encourage you to have a read, it won’t disappoint. I’d recommend books by this author, never disappoints and gives you something to warm your heart.
Thank you to Hannah (and now Hayley) at Transworld Books – Penguin Random House for the advanced copy in exchange for review.
