The Lucky Escape by Laura Jane Williams

5.0

Shortly after being left at the altar, Annie runs into Patrick, whom she hasn't seen since they were kids at summer camp. Her almost in-laws feel terrible about how their son treated her, and suggest she go on the non-refundable honeymoon trip they bought. When they okay her to take a friend, she invites Patrick.

Spending time with him, she realizes she's changed since the fearless girl she was when he knew her before. He accepts and encourages her in a way her ex never did. When did she stop living for herself and start living for other people? Can Patrick help her reconnect to her old self, and find love along the way?

From the beginning, I enjoyed this author's writing style. I felt immersed in Annie's world as she experienced it. The emotions were vibrant and heartfelt. Patrick is a big sweetheart, kind and adventurous—and exactly what Annie needs. The side characters were interesting, too. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys uplifting, romantic women's fiction.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
