The blurb:
A LAWYER.
A SURFER.
A 24-HOUR
FLIGHT.
The frequent
liar points are clocking up
and Lucy’s got
choices to make...
It’s been nine
years since Lucy left Australia. Nine years since she’s seen her best friend
Molly, and Sam, the one-time love of her life. Now her two friends are getting
married. To each other. And Lucy is on her way to Sydney for their wedding.
Life for Lucy
has moved on. She’s happily settled with James, her gorgeous lawyer boyfriend,
with their flat in London and her glamorous job in PR. Surely there’s no reason
to expect this two-week holiday in the sun will be anything out of the
ordinary?
But just before
take-off, Lucy receives a text from James’ mobile. She can’t resist taking a
look ... and, in one push of a button, her world comes crashing down...
My Opinion:
This book
instantly takes you in. Lucy is on her way to Australia, when she discovers a
message on her phone. This message changes everything. IS HER BOYFRIEND JAMES REALLY
CHEATING ON HER?
The flights to
Australia are the worst hours on her life. She calls James immediately, when
she gets the possibility. He is denying everything and now she doesn’t know
what to believe.
In Sydney Molly
and Sam, her friends, pick her up. Her two best friends are getting married to
each other. Sam used to be Lucy’s love of her life, does she still has feelings
for him?
Then another
man comes into her life, it’s Sam’s younger brother Nathan and Lucy is falling
for him from the beginning. The two of them get along really well, they go
surfing together, have lots of talks and they seem perfect for each other.
However, nothing happens between them. There is still James and Nathan’s life
is also complicated. At the wedding they have a really intense moment, they
almost kiss, but the next day Lucy returns to London.
She goes back
to work and tries to find out whether James is lying or not. Her thoughts though
still remain with Nathan all the time.
One day, Nathan
calls her and has big news: He is coming to England for work, with his work
Buddy Richard (we’ll see him again in Pictures of Lily).
Lucy is really
happy about that, but doesn’t want to show that to James.
She tries to be
with Nathan as often as she can and as a reader I was always hoping that
something is going to happen between them. It takes a really long time, though
and that’s why I couldn’t put the book down.
After their,
let’s call it, „snogging“, Lucy tells James everything, but he somehow wants to
fight for her.
One night they
go into a pub and there the truth about James comes out and Lucy’s life
changes.
Nathan comes to
rescue her and finally Lucy gets what she wants and she can be happy after all.
This story is
so wonderful. As a reader I fell in love with Lucy and Nathan from the first
moment on and was only waiting for them to be together.
They are just
perfect for each other and Paige Toon’s style of writing made the story real,
passionate and emotional.
An amazing
debut novel that makes you want to read more of this great and talented author.
