Thanks to Choc-Lit, I fell in love with this author. So when I had the opportunity to read another one of her books, I grabbed it with both hands. And I didn’t get disappointed!
This is a story where both main characters love each other desperately since they were teenagers, but as so often is the case, are too afraid to come clean about their feelings. We get to know them in that period, only to fast forward a few years later and then another jump until present day.
Both Lizzie and Nick have moved on with their lives (or at least, tried to….), Lizzie as a topmodel, and Nick as a ‘normal, boring’ accountant.
But Lizzie’s life gets turned upside down when someone she thinks that cares about her, betrays her on the worst possible way.
Of course childhood friend and best friend of her brother comes at the rescue!
Of course I’m not going to explain the whole story here, but from this moment on the real story begins.
The author succeeds in writing a romantic story without both characters falling head over heels in love without even knowing each other that so well.
As you read both sides of the story, you get the feeling that you REALLY know Lizzie and Nick.
From the very start until the end you are cheering for them. And once in a while I facepalmed myself when there was a miscommunication between them.
Exluding the being-a-topmodel-part, and the way too f*cked up betrayal, this is a story that could happen to all of us.
Haven’t we all ever fallen in love with someone and were just too afraid to come clean about it as we didn’t want to jeopardize the friendship or making a total fool of ourselves?
I could go on for pages explaining why I loved this book and why I’m a fan of Kathryn Freeman, but I’m going to spare you all that!
Just read it, and also the other books, and you’ll understand it perfectly!
