I was looking forward to reading this. It is bit of a slow burn this book but stick with it as it is a good read.

This was a simple, fun, easy and quick read. The perfect type of book for your holiday, beach, pool kind of read. This is a first for me by the author and one I enjoyed and I would read more of their work. The book cover is eye-catching and appealing and would spark my interest if in a bookshop. Thank you very much to the author, publisher and Netgalley for this ARC.

I found this book to be very confusing at the start as the timeline switches very quickly and it's not always clear that it has changed. I suppose this confusion reflects the confusion being felt by the main character, Erin. At times I felt that I wouldn't continue the book but I persevered and I'm glad I did. The story ended better than it began and it did turn out to be quite a good love story.

This was a slow burner for me, but I’m so glad I stuck with it because I really enjoyed the whole story. E’s story was lovely and I’m so glad she found her always.

I didn't get very far into this book before I was confuuuuuuused AF.

It starts in the present day then immediately switches to 36 hours earlier. Then five years ago. Then present day. Then five years ago. And so on and so forth.

There's animosity between Erin and Gil, but it's boring, it's not the good kind of feud. And then she's marrying the best man and no one says anything. I'll admit, I have up at this point. I just couldn't keep track of what was happening or what was supposed to be happening and I didn't feel that it was written well enough for me to actually care.

Anyway, I'm assuming that Gil and Erin end up together and there's some great dramatic story about how he's always loved her but I just couldn't put myself through it.

I was intrigued by the blurb for this and also unsure how Lucas would write the book so it made sense. Initially, I was frustrated by not knowing how the events had occurred but I persevered and I was rewarded with a tight plot that explains everything. The characters are wonderful as well, I really took to them and enjoyed getting to know them, learning about their relationships and seeing the development as the plot progresses.
There are a lot of feelings throughout this read and Lucas portrays them exquisitely and I just thoroughly enjoyed my time reading this.
Thank you to NetGalley and HQ for an advance copy.

I struggled with this book at the beginning and almost gave up but I carried on reading, it was an enjoyable read.

A really good read.
First book I have read by Fiona Lucas.
Thanks for the opportunity to read & review it.
