My Review: (review copy provided)
4 stars
Rachel (h) is an
emotional mess, separated from her husband, trying to support herself and
business and living with her parents. She is ready for some time away with her
friends but just as she's packing up to leave she discovers divorce papers.
Trying to make the most of the trip and her friend’s wedding she keeps her
feelings to herself and puts her mask on.
While on the flight Rachel's
meets an interesting and attractive man. He seems interested in her and her products. They both are going to the same wedding and he wants to learn more
about Rachel and her business. Rachel wants to have fun reunite with her friends
and is really excited to see her best friend Nick. Nick and Rachel are a lot alike
and the closest out of the group but since her marriage her friendships haven't
been as tight knit.
Will Rachel find
herself? And will she finally be able to move on?
This book was an
enjoyable light read. I wasn't sure what would happen or how things would turn
out and honestly it wasn't what I expected.
I want to point out that this is more than a love story but about a girl
trying to come to terms with her life choices and find herself. I thought this
book did a good job of that. The element of romance is there but it's subtle
and I don't think it's the main point of the story (in my opinion). I kind of
had a love/hate relationship with her friends while reading this book. They
seemed a bit self-centered to me. And then the whole thing with Tom. That's all
I'm saying because I don't want to spoil it but I thought it was kind of rude.
Other than that I really liked the book and it took me by surprise which
doesn't happen a lot. ;)
I wonderful debut for
author Katie Kirby!
