My Review
EVERYTHING!!! Words cannot truly describe how much I loved this book. Miranda Dickinson is now firmly placed in my list of authors I love. Although this book was 495 pages long, I read this in one sitting (albeit a few bathroom breaks in between and a very awkward lunch 'break' whilst reading!). You have two main characters in this story - Bea James who has broken up with her boyfriend of five years and Jake Steinmann who has split from his wife of ten years and is having to move back to his home, New York, to forget about her. Both characters meet at an engagement party held for some friends and make a pact that there will be no more relationships. As the spend more time together as friends, maybe magic might happen in the end. With a few twists and turns in both of their paths, I enjoyed following their story right until the very last page.
If there is one book you read at Christmas, make it this one. You won't forget it!
