***********************************************************************************
IS IT EVER TOO LATE TO REKINDLE AN OLD FLAME?

When Nell was a student, she and Patrick were a serious item. They were inseparable, and she really thought he was The One.

But then Alex came along...the safer, more restful option, and thanks to her over-controlling mother she opted for him instead.

Now nothing is going right. Alex has left her to live in New York with a younger, blonder woman. Escaping to the Caribbean for a recuperative holiday, she is mugged at Gatwick and her bag is stolen. It's crisis time - and she makes two decisions:

First - she will take lessons in self-defence.

Second - she will try and find Patrick again.

Is she trying to put the past behind her - or setting out to ruin her future?

I will give this book a 4/5 stars because it was an interesting read for me but i do have some problems with it such as I really thought we would get some backstory between Alex and Nell but we didn't and one more which if shared than can be spoilers.......more

Goodreads review by Sana on October 01, 2018

I just couldn’t. Although there are praises for the writer, I am finding it hard to digest. The story is very slow, I can’t relate to the characters nor do I find them interesting so that it can engage me. So I am going to simply shut it and I am only on chapter 3.......more
