The blurb:
Alexandra Jones has a pretty peachy
life. A gorgeous, stinking rich fiancé, her sleazy boss is retiring which means
an imminent promotion in a job she loves, and she gets her best friends Jimmy
Choos when she dies, although she would prefer her best friend to stick around
as long as possible. Obviously.
But when a blast from the past
turns up on her doorstep just as her world turns upside down, she decides to
take her best friend, Rosie, up on her offer of a 10 day break in San
Francisco. Whilst Rosie works on a fashion shoot and Alexandra becomes well
acquainted with the photographer’s brother, it becomes clear that this trip is
one that will change their lives forever.
My Opinion:
I’m so happy I finally
got to read a book by Ellen, she is so lovely and since I’m part of her book
tour for her second novel, I had to read this and I fell in love with Ellen’s
writing.
Lexi has it all: She’s
pretty, she is engaged and she’s about to get a promotion… But then her world
is turned upside down and everything changes. It means goodbye fiancée, goodbye
job and goodbye England, off to San Francisco with her best friend Rosie.
I liked Lexi immediately.
She’s a funny, strong and great character and I admired her friendship with
Rosie.
So in SF she meets Ryan
and let me tell you: He’s amazing! Off on a rocky start, these two get to know
each other better and I loved following their journey together. It was clear
that there was chemistry from the beginning. They also had similar background
when it came to past relationships, which made the connection even stronger I
think. But let’s not forget, there is also her “ex ex” from so many years ago
and he wants her back…
Some things in the story
didn’t make sense to me, because I felt that they were not properly connected
to the story and at times it didn’t feel real.
I still enjoyed this
story very much.
Ellen is a brilliant
writer, with so many great ideas and she managed to create a bubbly, funny and
vivid story.
I’ve always wanted to go
to San Francisco, now even more ;)
The ending was great and sweet.
Ellen really knows her way with words. Oh and another think I liked in this
story: Some sexy scenes… ;)
