I would like to thank the author, the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an ARC of this book. I found it to be an enjoyable story, I liked the characters and also that it wasn't straightforward.
This was sweet but I suspect ultimately forgettable. Phoebe and Sam meet and fall in love almost instantly when they're both stuck at St Pancras Station due to train delays and promise to meet again after a year spent adventuring apart. Their connection is believable--without it the book wouldn't work--but some of the ensuing ups and downs of their relationship seemed out of character and manufactured just for the sake of stretching the book out longer. Recommended if you're looking for something like One Day in December .
If you like books where characters fall instantly in love, then this is the book for you!
Phoebe and Sam fall in love during a train delay at St Pancras station as both wait for trains destined to keep them apart for a year. Can they manage to keep that connection through that kind of distance and irregular contact?
Phoebe is travelling Europe and finding the confidence in herself. Her journey was lovely and the notion of marking the moments of your life was something I would like to do better myself. Her adventures in France and Italy had me itching to follow her and discover the same places.
Sam is travelling to the Isle of Mull to retrace his childhood steps, get over a heartbreak and reconnect with his roots. His surprise at loving island life and the way he became part of a strong community showcases some of the best things life outside the city can offer.
But is it realistic? I struggled with it, though I enjoyed their seperate journeys I didn't buy that they were fully in love or needed to test that love for some never properly explained reason. These two don't communicate well, and so I was never entirely sure that they were building foundations or holding on to something worthwhile.

This is a book that I could imagine as a Netflix romcom that I'd put on for background noise but secretly love.
Sam and Phoebe meet by chance at St Pancras station when their trains are delayed. Sam is going to the Isle of Mull in search of his dad and Phoebe is spending a year between France and Italy. They get to know each other well in a few hours and agree to meet back at St Pancras in a years time, once they've done what they've set out to do.
With most romance books, I always need to suspend belief and just go with the cheesiness. I love the characters of Sam and Phoebe and their individual stories of their adventures during that year are really well written but it seems so long. When the year is up, it feels like everything is a little rushed and how the story goes in the last 30% of the book irked me a bit.
