Title: Last Christmas
‘Bea was always early for everything. Even, it turned out, when she was running away from her life.’
As Christmas approaches, Bea Preston has a choice.
Looking up at the departures board in Heathrow airport, her flight to New York boarding soon, she knows that getting on that plane changes everything. Her life in London has grown stale, her relationship with boyfriend Dom has run its course, and New York has always been her dream. But it’s a risk – she’ll miss her parents, her friends, her job.
What if Bea could live both lives? In one she goes back home for Christmas, and in another she heads to the Big Apple. Would her fate remain the same, or can one decision really change everything?
In a grand sliding-doors love story that spans oceans, years and lives, Clare Swatman’s unforgettable tale of fate and friendship is perfect for all fans of Jojo Moyes, Beth Moran and Ruth Jones.
Christmas meets Sliding Doors meets fabulous author, terrific characters and a the 00s!
Simply superb....
... but hard to review for fear of giving away spoilers.
It's the first book I've read by this author and I was lured in by Christmas in the title. And it's a good thing I was as I couldn't get enough of it.
We follow Beas life as we see the outcome of the big airport decision occur in clearly headed and alternating chapters. And it's surprisingly easy to follow with each year getting two chapters one from the go timeline and from the stay timeline.
I believe there is an important message about fate, and that things happen for a reason and a whole lot more within these pages.
There is are some deep subjects dealt with sensitively and empathetically from the author.
In short it's certainly a book to add to your TBR, and one to savour.
Thank you to Boldwood and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
