Reviewed by Helen
This is the first story I have read from this author, it is her debut book released in 2018 and the first in a series, set in Bangalow around Byron Bay on the New South Wales Hinterland it is a story of friendship and finding love, Melissa Bourne and Andrew Wyatt grew up as neighbours and best friends, but was there more to their friendship?
Melissa was happy with her life and her friend Andrew but when graduation comes along and Andrew finds a girlfriend Melissa decides to take off to America and start a new life for herself she married Jonathon and settles well into her new life, but five years later things start to go downhill and Melissa decides that a trip back home to visit her father would do her the world of good but it will change her life forever.
Andrew has been doing well in the five years Melissa has been away but when she returns home for a holiday in time for his mother’s funeral Andrew needs to catch up, he is hoping to have a good talk to Melissa but the night before she leaves things go a bit further than that but Melissa flees back home and Andrew goes after her only to be told there is nothing for them.
This is a story of bad timing for both Melissa and Andrew things seem to always get in the way for them to get back together and discuss their future, it takes them a long time and a tragedy for them finally to find the love that had always been there. This story moves fast and there is lots happening, a very well written story in a beautiful setting it is a story that will appeal to many people.
My thanks to the author for my copy to read and review.
