Amy thinks she'd escaped the humdrum of her Warwickshire village for the bright lights of London where she had worked for a publishing house after university, so to find herself back home again is definitely not in her plans. And running into Sam constantly - the posh guy who'd shown a keen interest in her years ago - isn't helping matters. Unfortunately, Amy still bases much of her views about Sam and his life on assumptions she made as a teenager. Is she ready for change? Can she put those views behind her and actually give Sam a chance?
Amy is a stubborn character, inflexible for no good reason other than she seems unwilling to accept she was wrong about Sam. I guess if she'd been less stubborn the story would have been much shorter, but even so, sometimes less is more and this felt a little drawn out at times.
Nonetheless, this is a quick read with a lovely glimpse at the Midlands (call me biased :) LOL) as well as a bookish vibe, a witty style of writing after a slowish start. I look forward to reading more by this author....more
A sweet story although a little underdeveloped in terms of plot and character, but then again it's an easy, fun read and has a Corgi in it, so what's A sweet story although a little underdeveloped in terms of plot and character, but then again it's an easy, fun read and has a Corgi in it, so what's not to love? ...more
