Emotional content aside this book was also HILARIOUS!! The off the cuff jabs between Charlie and Becca were hilarious and entertaining and the misadventures they had while fulfilling Ally’s wishes were THE BEST. I won’t spoil it for you, but getting gin drunk on a tour trolley sounds like my kind of party!! Additionally I may be trading in the one bed trope for the one tent trope…just saying ;-) I absolutely adored this book!! It gave me the emotions that crushed me in P.S. I Love You, the longing and the push/pull relationship that I adored inOne Day' Renee
This book tugged at my emotions, Hughes deftly conveys Becca and Charlie's grief, including the anger at Ally. Just when you think its going to be a tear jerker then the humour shines through. Then there is that clever little ending thrown in as the cherry on the top! It's a total belter... I loved the slow burn and just the warmth and funniness of the writing. Was gagging for them to get it together' Kirsty Greenwood, author of Big Sexy Love I won't spoil any of the storyline but if you're looking for a romantic story that is based on something a little unusual, give this a read!I loved this book. It really describes the raw horrible grief you feel when someone you love has died. No one really tells you about this: the emptiness, loneliness, the anger. You don’t know who you are any longer, because you’ve always been a fiancé, a best friend, a daughter, and you need to reinvent yourself. A really addictive ‘will they won’t they’ love story. Wonderful’ Olivia Beirne The List That Changed My Life I thought the concept of the book was interesting but I wasn’t quite sure it was going to work for me, personally. The relationship I have with my friends and their partners I believe would preclude what happens in this book ever being possible for me. However, the author really managed to sell it to me over the course of the novel, so she deserves great kudos for making the plot convincing to a skeptic like me. Enemies-to-lovers is a delicate balance: If the characters are too convincing as enemies, readers might not buy it when they become lovers. In [book:Ten Years], [author:Pernille Hughes] threads the needle of writing two characters that seem to really, truly loathe one another, but then gives them the time and space, and emotional opportunities, to change. Over the course of ten years, Becca and Charlie's paths collide as they deal with grief, love and life after Ally.
Becca and Charlie have always had two things in common: their general dislike of each other, and their love for Ally. Becca’s lifelong best friend and Charlie’s fiancé, Ally has bound the two reluctantly together for years. But then Ally dies. And the two plan to go their separate ways forever - to handle their grief themselves without ever having to see each other again. This is my third book, an enemies to lovers story, spanning ten years and roaming from London to Snowdonia to Cannes.Over the ten years we see how grief affects both of them in different ways. Charlie, the 'yes man' who left his decision making to Ally is left directionless. While spiky Becca the actress, continues to struggle in dead end jobs hoping for her big break, misses her big cheerleader in Ally. Ally was her family. Previously her writing has been printed in The Sunday Times and the fabulous SUNLOUNGER summer anthologies.
