From the author that gave you the
Sunday Times top 10 selling title, Fairytale of New York, join our heroine
Romilly as she discovers how far she will go to find the man of her dreams.
What would you do to find the one that got away? As the singer in a wedding
band, Romily Parker has seen her fair share of happy endings, even though her
own love life isn't quite as simple. On the last Saturday before Christmas,
(shortly after disastrously declaring her love for best friend Charlie), Romily
has a brief encounter with a handsome stranger whose heart-stopping kiss
changes everything. Determined to find him again, Romily embarks on a yearlong
quest, helped (and sometimes hindered) by enthusiastic Uncle Dudley,
cake-making Auntie Mags and flamboyant Wren. Will she find the man of her
dreams? Or could true love be closer than she thinks? The ONLY book that you'll
want to curl up with this winter -- perfect for fans of Jill Mansell and Sophie
Kinsella
My Opinion:
It started with a kiss… This just sounds so out of a movie.
Being in love with the best friend, that’s never easy. Romily decided to
tell Charlie about her feelings. If only she hadn’t. Charlie doesn’t share the
same feelings and their relationship as best friends really suffers, because of
that. To be honest, I really hated how Charlie treated her after that. I wanted
to like him, but…
Then the mysterious stranger came along and they kissed. I instantly
knew, that there had been something special between the two of them.
Romily is a great character. I share her passion for music and I think
it’s great that she is in a band with her best friends. I want that too.
Her friends are all so lovable and their relationship is just amazing:
true friendship…
I love the idea of creating a blog for the quest. I think it was also a
way for Romily to express her feelings about this whole situation. I must say
as a reader I really felt for her the whole time, with her ups and downs and I
just wanted PK (Phantom Kisser) to turn up. But he didn’t, and he didn’t…
About Charlie again. Well I really got to like him, when he started
treating her differently and because PK didn’t turn up, I suddenly wanted
Romily to have a happy ending with Charlie, but I knew I wanted PK too, what a
bad situation ;) The atmosphere and tension between Charlie and Romily seemed
to grow page after page.
Of course PK had to appear once and logically only near the end of the
story.
I won’t tell you whether Romily ended up with PK or with Charlie. Just
one thing: There will be at least one surprise and some misunderstandings.
However, the most important thing is that Romily ends up with the love of her
life.
I loved reading about the band and their gigs. As I am a musician too,
it’s always great to read about music.
One little thing that bugged me about the book, that it just didn’t seem
realistic to me and some turns just didn’t make sense to me.
The writing is absolutely fabulous though and you really miss something
if you don’t read this book.
Miranda posted a name of a song for every chapter, which I think is
great and makes the book even more lively.
If you love romance, this book is a must. Such a sweet book ♥
