I received this book through Readers First in exchange for an honest review.
From the moment I started reading The Man Who Didn't call, I fell in love with it. Hell, even before I read it, even before I got it in the mail. From the first moment I read the first glimpse on Readers First's website, I fell in love with the whole novel.
After all, I bet a lot of people out there has been that person, the person who has waited by our phones, just waiting for that phone call or text that was promised to us, only to never get it. We worry at first, think through all the excuses that we can come up with before it starts to turn to real worry, over something happening to that person before time goes on and it turns to anger over the person not calling or texting. We've all been there, whether we'll admit it or not...or maybe, just maybe you are that person who has said you would call, but never did...shame on you. :P
But in the novel, Rosie Walsh paints us a true romance. Something that most girls and guys could only dream about happening, meeting that one person and then spending a wonderful seven whole days with them. We follow Sarah's journey through her emotions and worry and even through the turmoil that turns out to be her life when it comes to Eddie.
WE follow with Eddie's own turmoil when he figures out the truth, as he deals with his ill mother and through a mired of other emotions. We read and watch as they fight and love and worry and even follow each other across the pond, just to know what the truth is and was.
It's a book that has been written extremely well, a book that leaves you hanging on to the edge of your seat, of not wanting to put it down because you don't want to miss a thing. It makes you feel the emotions that each character goes through, not only Sarah's and Eddies, but all the others too.
I know that I laughed and nearly cried in certain points, that my heart raced and I just begged the pages in my hands that what I thought was going to happen wouldn't happen. It had me gripped from the get go and I certainly would recommend it to anyone who wanted to be given a book.
