One of the reviews on the back of this copy said it would break my heart and put it back together again and it was right. 

I’ve just read the last 100 pages in bed compulsively turning the pages, both desperate to know what will happen next and also dreading what might come. 

This was not what I expected from the blurb - a guy who has stood up three separate women for Valentine’s Day. It seems like it would be such a predictable and formulaic plot but the author turned it into something unique and special. 

I have loved the last two books I read by this author and I loved this one too, she’s quickly becoming a favourite!
