Hadley (took me a little while to get used to that name) is 4 minutes late for her plane. She is going to see her Dad get married to his new wife, in England. Being 4 minutes late not only means she's missed her plane but that she has to hang around for an extra 3 hours at the airport. In that 3 hours, she meets the very charming Oliver.
What if she hadn't been late at all?
A book based on the idea of 'What if?'
I don't like long, predictable, slushy romance books - the kind where you can guess the ending by reading the first two pages but it goes all over the shop for chapters upon chapters to get there.
Luckily, this book isn't like that.
It's not a big book, it's quite quick to read (mainly because you just can't put it down!) but it's exciting and satisfying.
It instantly reminds you of those whizzy floaty sinky feelings that come when you first meet someone you like and the nerves, exhilaration and sparkling chemistry of being around them.
I practically inhaled this book and felt a bit lost when I turned the last page. Lost because for a moment I was living that tale and it all ended when I closed the book (boohoo, get the violins out for the girl with no love life!)
The main characters are real, they are not perfect and goody goody, they have flaws - how refreshing!
I have no criticisms about this book other than I wanted it to last longer but then maybe leaving you wanting more is a lot better than giving you too much and you getting bored...
The story filled my tummy with butterflies and sent my toes wiggling in happiness (your toes wiggle when you're happy too, right?) and that's exactly what I needed at the time.
It's always nice to have a reminder that you never know exactly what (or who) is just around the corner and that if it's meant to be, it just...will! :)
Summary: A delightful, heart warming read that makes you excited about what may be around the corner for you
