I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, having wrongly assumed it would be a light romance, I became totally caught up in the story and couldn’t put it down- how fortunate that there was yet another sunny day to enjoy reading it.
The original premise is probably one we all know, the person who fails to get in touch, we’ve all been there, and how it rips you apart. To begin with it reminded me a little of one of my favourite films, ‘Before Sunrise’, and I loved the way the story goes between the amazing week Sarah and Eddie spent together and the present day, with letters interspersed which gradually reveal more of the back story.
It then becomes obvious that there is a twist, and another twist, right up to the end.
Sarah’s friends are interesting and credible characters, the story is well written and flows easily between locations, tying up loose ends neatly.
Ultimately I was frustrated, then moved and finally was left thinking, what would I do in the same situation? An unusual and thought provoking story.
