A stunning Christmas romance for fans of One Day in December and Jojo Moyes
From the moment they meet one December day there’s something between Charlotte Taylor and her brother’s best friend, Tom Farley. But Tom’s already taken and Charlie has to let him go…
It’s another five years before their paths cross again only a secret from the past forces Charlie to make a choice. She promises herself she’ll never look back…
The years pass and Charlie moves on with her life but she can never forget Tom. He’s always there whispering ‘What if?’.
Can Charlie leave the life she has built for one last chance with Tom? Or is the one that got away not really the one at all…?
Beautifully written novel that has completely got under my skin and almost had me in tears on public transport!
The book is so brilliant that pretty much anything I say wouldn't be able to do it justice.
I'm trying to put into words what the story is about, but can't quite finish any sentence, so here are some rambling thoughts instead
- How do you know who your true love is?
- Should family loyalty and guilt towards your brother mean you give up on your true love?
- Can you really be happy potentially living a lie, or will you learn what the true meaning of love is?
- Just how frustrating is that voice that says What If?
- How well do you know someone no matter the connection you feel?
Well all of these questions and a whole lot more are certainly answered in this book.
Charlotte's brother's story was the most touching of all and I really did have a lump in my throat a few times when we see what he is dealing with.
This is a novel spanning many years, often in short-ish snippets as time progresses, which is a great way of seeing how life is going for our key characters.
I absolutely love Emma Heatherington's writing style, it really gripped me and I was completely oblivious on my way to and from Birmingham on the train. The book flowed so so well and I clearly felt a lot for all the characters. Someone more emotional than me probably would have had many tears at various key points.
A truly wonderful book to warm your heart this winter, and keep your eye out for a Christmas Miracle too!
Thank you to Harper Collins and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
