Publisher Description
Susannah and Rob were childhood sweethearts. But as with most early couples, they broke up, moved on, and now find themselves in very different places. And not entirely happy—but who is? But then a chance meeting sends shockwaves through their lives. What happens when your first love makes a surprise reappearance? Is fate telling you it's time for a second chance ... or should you simply walk away and let the past become ancient history? Susannah and Rob just aren't able to forget the way they were ... and the world is about to realize the consequences of their reunion.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Noble's (The Reading Group) new love story arrives slow and unfocused. Juggling past and present, Noble explains how Susannah met her first love, Rob, in secondary school and only separated from him when Rob left for the RAF after university. Today Susannah approaching 40, childless, a failed marriage under her belt is stuck in a dull long-term relationship with Doug, a man who hasn't allowed her to get close to his own children. So when Susannah unexpectedly runs into Rob, the old flame flares up. They begin seeing each other, but he's married and she's still committed to Doug, so the hot-and-bothered pair keep things platonic, for now. Meanwhile, Susannah helps a longtime friend through chemotherapy, allowing the author to explore an epic kinship. This lukewarm take on the classic tale of tragic love would have fared better had Noble come out of the gates running instead of leaving her protagonists and her readers in the dust of superfluous story lines.
