The
blurb:
You've found the one,
but what if life has other plans?
London, 31st December
1999
At a party to toast
the new millennium, Hanna meets Richard. He is a gorgeous, wealthy New Yorker.
She is a self-assured, beautiful Londoner with no interest in clean-cut
American men. They are from different worlds and have nothing in common...
except for their instant - and mutual - attraction to one another.
As the clocks chime
midnight it is a new year and the beginning of a wonderful romance.
New York, 12th May
2012
Hanna, the girl who
broke Richard's heart, walks into his Wall Street office - and back into his
life - to reveal an explosive secret.
He was sure they were
meant to be together forever, but she broke his heart so completely the last
time, can he find a way to let her mend the pieces?
Warm, witty and a
perfect piece of modern romance, Fix You is a love story to melt your heart.
My
Opinion:
*Book
provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review*
Can
we just take a moment to look at this gorgeous cover?! Love it!
They
way this book starts and especially the way the prologue ends are just perfect.
I got hooked instantly and that never changed!!!
The
shocking things Hanna reveals at the end of of the prologue made me really
excited to find out what lead to that situation and of course I wanted to know
how Richard would react!!!
Hanna
and Richard meet New Year’s Eve 1999. Sparks fly from the first second, their
attraction towards each other is deep and strong. It takes a while before they
get together. And there is one big issue, she lives in London and he lives in
New York.
A
lot of misunderstandings, time apart and family issues make their story
exciting and interesting. It’s not a normal love story, which is great! Yes, I
wanted them to be together, but all these twists and turns brought to story on
a new level.
I
loved that the novel was set in the years after millennium. No mention of
facebook or Twitter, but other significant events like 9/11 are covered.
The
changes both Hannah and Richard go through are huge, but they never lose the
love for each other, which was amazing to see.
We
get to read both perspectives, Hanna and Richard take turns and I really liked
it. Although the novel was spread over a lot of years, the storyline flowed
beautifully and this book is just so well written.
The
characters are very relatable, I instantly warmed to both Hanna and Richard.
Carrie
created a wonderful book, her writing is realistic, authentic, gripping and
very passionate. This story shows that love isn’t always easy and that you have
to fight for it. Sometimes a real happy end needs time. Oh btw, I just adored
the epilogue.
