Sweet love story. But sometimes it was a little bit ... too much.

I really enjoyed this story, particularly the way Toon is just fantastic at placing the reader right in the middle of any setting. I finish her books desperate to visit all the places she describes. The characters are really fun, particularly Molly and Sam and Lucy's family. And I loved that Lucy's indecision didn't just come from her desire for a man, but weighing up her entire life in London versus a potential life in Sydney.

But I did find it a real struggle to empathise with Lucy for a lot of the book. I was pleased with the conclusion but disagreed with the way she behaved a lot of the time. What constitutes infidelity is a grey area for many people but I was quite uncomfortable with Lucy's behaviour, whether or not her boyfriend was a complete villain (although I also liked that the truth about James was open to interpretation).

That said, this level of moral ambiguity made for a really interesting discussion when buddy reading, which I really enjoyed!
