Many thanks to NetGalley, Crown, and Josie Silver for the opportunity to read and review this book - 5 glowing stars, addictive read!
My taste generally runs to the psychological thriller genre so when I started this book, I thought I was in for 400 pages of fluff. Not that there's anything wrong with fluff - sometimes you need it to clear your mind from all the other dark stuff! But I couldn't have been more wrong about this book - I loved it. This is the book that will bring to mind your favorite Christmas movies - the ones that just make you feel good and that you feel vested in.
Laurie had a tough day - her job situation was rather bleak and life after university wasn't turning out quite as planned. She was on the bus home when she glanced out the window and magic struck. A man was waiting for a bus, reading a book, and they both shared a glance. But what a glance - can you fall in love instantly? As fate would have it, they didn't connect that day and Laurie spent the next year looking for "bus boy" with no success. Until the party when her best friend in the world introduces Laurie to her new boyfriend, Jack, who of course is "bus boy." The story of the next ten years is told in the viewpoints of both Jack and Laurie, giving us a back stage look into their lives.
Silver's story grips you and you won't be able to put this book down until you get to the end to see how it all works out. I loved the characters, the writing, this book!
