The Night We Met
Daniel
and Olivia are destined to be together. At least, Daniel thinks this the night
he sees Olivia across a sea of people. As he backpacks through Australia,
Daniel and Liv continue to cross paths, yet never speak. Until one night, Liv
joins Daniel for a drink. And that night everything changes.
Back in
London, stuck in a monotonous routine, Daniel finds himself daydreaming of the
woman with green eyes and fiery hair. Armed with only a name he vows to find
her, yet with every passing moment, Daniel's hopes begin to disappear. What if
it wasn't meant to be?
But
then fate steps in, and Daniel and Olivia’s story can truly begin...
This is
a tale of serendipity, missed chances and the power of love.
My Review:
This is an emotive book, with
serious and heart-breaking content that may make some readers feel upset or
quite sensitive. The Night We Met is a novel about a woman dying from cancer
that asks her husband to write their complete love story for their daughters.
Yes the premise of this book is
so sad, heart-breaking when we realise there are children who are losing a
parent far too young, but it is a book littered with love and the idea that
true love will always find a way.
The book is written in the now but also through varying points
in the past from multiple locations. It demonstrates the lives the characters
have led and how they were always intertwined before they were even together. I
quite enjoyed reading things from different perspectives, I think you really get
to understand the character this way. It was easy to follow and so well
written, you didn’t feel like you were jumping around too much but more like
they were snapshots into the past. As our characters travels we are taken from
Australia to New Zealand to Milan, London, Switzerland, it’s like we are on our
own armchair travels too.
This is a beautiful read, one of those ultimate love stories
that show how time and maturity is all that is needed sometimes. Folbigg gives
us a read that shows how love can be “at first sight” even if it takes time to
realise this.
I loved the characters, Olivia is a sparky, interesting
young girl but matures into a passionate woman; Daniel is full of heart and falls
completely for her. I loved him and felt so sorry for what they were going
through.
This book will hook you in and take you on an emotional rollercoaster,
a special tale of love, friendship and of families and the many ways they can
be created.
