I would love to go to the cinema and watch this on the big screen, it would make a perfect film.
The original meeting between Phoebe and Sam is wonderful, and I couldn't get enough of their instant dynamic, and easy conversation. If I could meet the love of my life in that sort of situation at St. Pancras Station I would be very happy.
However they are travelling in different directions and each having a year out of their life for various reasons. Phoebe to travel around Europe and Sam to spend time on the island he was born on, and reconnect with old friends.
Although I enjoyed seeing what they both got up to in the year they apart, I just felt that the section was perhaps a bit too long, as it was the end of the trip and their anticipation and what happens a year later which is where I finally fully engaged my self back with the story.
The last third or more was fabulous and I was continually surprised by the direction the book took.
I adored the concept of the story and really enjoyed the story. I just wish I'd read it while I was on holiday, instead of the first book back when real life distractions meant I just couldn't read for as long as I would like each time.
Sam and Phoebe's story is certainly memorable and will keep you on your tours. There is travelling which I always love in a book, a fab meet cute, some traditional Scottish music, painted pebbles, and some fabulous friendships, and other potential love interests too - as after all when did true love ever run smoothly? I mean what more could you want from a book!
Another treat of a book from the always talented Miranda Dickinson.

Writing my review today, I felt exactly as you describe on that middle section. Otherwise I really enjoyed it.
