One Night With You
by Laura Jane Williams
I enjoyed this book. The two protagonists meet when Nic comes to Ruby’s home to purchase her sofa the night before she leaves London. The attraction is strong and immediate. After a night of passion, Ruby leaves for a new life in Manchester as Nic begins his own in London.
The author has written two highly likeable characters, each starting a new chapter in their life. Told in alternating dual narratives, the reader is provided with great detail on what is happening in Ruby and Nic’s lives over the next several months. As a film-making student, Ruby’s focus is on successfully completing university. Nic’s world is turned upside down when he learns of a life-changing event.
Ruby has vowed not to pursue a relationship with anyone during what she calls “The Year of Ruby”. Throughout this time, Ruby and Nic have intermittent contact with one another despite the difference in geography. A friendship is fostered and the two come to rely on one another during difficult times.
As the year progresses it is clear that Ruby and Nic want to be together. But timing is everything, and Ruby is faced with making a difficult choice. The author does a great job demonstrating the inner conflict Ruby is faced with. Being true to yourself at each moment in life is a key message in this book. I recommend this book to those readers who enjoy General Fiction.
I listened to the audiobook of One Night With You which was narrated by Charlotte Beaumont and Arthur McBain. Their performances felt natural and easy to listen to. Their enthusiasm as these characters enhanced this already lovely story. I have no hesitation in recommending the audiobook to those that enjoy this format.
