Description

The fabulous new, soon-to-be-published romantic comedy from the Amazon best-selling author of It Would Be Wrong to Steal My Sister's Boyfriend (Wouldn't It?)

Thirteen years ago, Laura thought her life was over. Now, she’s nailed being a grown-up. Married to the gorgeous Jonathan, she has two wonderful (if high-maintenance) children and a free pass into the school-gate elite. So what if once in a blue moon she still daydreams about Felix, the man who broke her heart? After all, living well is the best revenge.

But then an unexpected encounter turns everything upside down. How can Laura risk throwing away everything she has for a dream of the past? She can’t be falling in love with Felix all over again... can she?

Here is another heart-warming romantic comedy from best-selling author Sophie Ranald. If you adore Lucy Diamond, Tracy Bloom and Sophie Kinsella, prepare to be swept off your feet by You Can’t Fall in Love With Your Ex... because you can!

A Note From the Publisher

Sophie Ranald is the youngest of five sisters. She was born in Zimbabwe and lived in South Africa until an acute case of itchy feet brought her to London in her mid-20s. As an editor for a customer publishing agency, Sophie developed her fiction-writing skills describing holidays to places she'd never visited. In 2011, she decided to disregard all the good advice given to aspiring novelists and attempt to write full-time. After one false start, It Would Be Wrong to Steal My Sister's Boyfriend (Wouldn't It?) seemed to write itself, and her second novel, A Groom with a View, followed a year later. Sophie also writes for magazines and online about food, fashion and running. She lives in south-east London with her amazing partner Hopi and Purrs, their adorable little cat.

First off, I just love the British voices in this story. They are so fun!

Fun aside, I really appreciated Laura's struggle with her life as a housewife and trying to find herself. At the risk of losing her marriage, she tries to find out if the life she used to live is what she really wants. Her old flame Felix is everything that she remembers him being, but her husband is everything that she wanted from Felix, but never had.

This story shows the battle we all face in trying to find out if our past defines our future. I love that she finds hers as do those that she loves as well. Great story!

The story of Laura both as a young girl and a married woman with young children who appears to have it all, but what will happen when Felix the man of her youth appears back in her life.

A great story where you could really relate to the characters and a bit more than just normal chick lit, Sophie Ranalds normal quirky funny style is great and couldnt pick a better book for a lighthearted enjoyable beach read

Starting the book, I wasn't really into it. Seemed like big words were being overused when typical words would have been fine. Book is based in London and does have foul language in it (not that I mind but some people do). I wish that each time it switched from past to present and vice versa, it would let you know. After a while, though, I got used to it. Some were labeled but not all. I was about 30% into reading when I actually got interested in the book. Laura, the main character, was really struggling with herself. She was missing the life she once had and not sure if she was happy with the life she has now. Of course, the entire truth of it all doesn't really come out until the end. She made bad decisions more than she made good ones but when it counted, she finally realized what she needed to do. I enjoyed this book because I wanted to know what was going to happen next and also what happened in the past. There were a few characters I would have wanted to learn more about but I guess they weren't really that important to the story. If you enjoy romantic stories, I would recommend this book.
