London, With Love by Sarra Manning
5.0
"The trouble with you two is that you could never get your timing right..."
*
Perfect for fans of Love, Rosie, How to Save a Life and One Day. A breathtaking novel about friendship, love and finding yourself whilst also acting as an ode to the streets of London and its transport lines. The story spans two decades and follows Jenny as she finds her place in the world and tries to fight her feelings for Nick, the boy who was her friend but not her boyfriend. It is definitely a 'right person wrong time' novel that will leave you smiling from ear to ear before tugging on your heart strings and bringing tears to the fore.

"Two people bound together by all the years they’d known each other, all the good and bad they’d put each other through..."

Thirteen year old me fell in love with Sarra's writing when she told Edie and Dylan's story in her Diary of a Crush series. So of course thirty year old me jumped at the chance to review this ARC! And I couldn't put it down - I devoured Jenny and Nick's story. I could relate to Jenny and her worries at each stage of her life and I panicked at what was to come when I seen certain dates pop up. There were times I could hit Nick for how pretentious he was being and then there were times that I wanted them to sort out their issues and get together. This is the perfect story to get lost in - as much a love story for London as it is for the characters. Such a stunning cover too! Thank you to NetGalley and Hodder Books for the ARC.
