The Lucky Escape by Laura Jane Williams
4.0
I got The Lucky Escape by Laura Jane Williams from NetGalley for a fair and honest review
The Lucky Escape is told through the point of view of Annie Wiig a woman in her thirties, who is left on her wedding day by Alexander the boyfriend she was with since university.
Having been given the honeymoon tickets by the people who would have been her in-laws, as a form of apology.
Annie decides to take the trip with Patrick an old friend who she had not seen since she was 14 and reminded. Annie of what she was like then.
This is one of those stories that was a real pleasure to read, as Annie must first deal with the aftereffects of being dropped on her weeding day.
Both in her own mind and her family, from her 13-year-old sister, and the relaxed father to her mother who is more bothered about what other people think than how her daughter feels.
I really loved the relationship between Annie has with Patrick, throughout the story, from the moment that they meet in the Gym to the time they go on holiday and how their friendship develops throughout the book.
The Lucky Escape can be read in two ways from a light fluffy romance, or as a life affirming story about people not only going for what they want but also realizing what they want out of life. While realizing if you do it this way you are going to hurt yourself and other people, but it will be better for everyone in the long run.
All this Makes The Lucky Escape By Laura Jane Williams, the perfect beach read no matter if you looking to read an escapist romance or a story with more meaning.
