About the Book
Is hitting a handsome professor with a vacuum cleaner a good way to start a new relationship? Em doesn’t think so, and she’s happy being single. But there was definitely a spark, and it didn’t come from the hoover.
When Em discovers that her fiancé’s having an affair, she leaves her stressful call centre job, packs up her paints and easel and moves to the coast to build a better life on her own. But her new life becomes more complicated when a charming professor, Jack Carver, arrives for a holiday. Who’s he avoiding? And what do Jack and Em have in common?
My Review
This was an interesting book! The title alone is a grabber. The title is quickly explained in the book, and I loved the explanation! (I’m not going to spoil it by telling you, you have to read the book!).
Em’s friendship with Lucy is the absolute best. Lucy is there for her through anything, but she also provides some comic relief. We should all have a friend like Lucy.
Now Em. I really liked her at first, but then she bothered me. She made some choices that I didn’t agree with (total personal opinion), and she assumed things without seeking clarification. The miscommunication trope is used a few times in this one. Maybe once would have been enough.
Em and Jack’s relationship was nice. It was easy going. But he was equally annoying at times because he didn’t seem to want to say what he was thinking or feeling. I did enjoy the ending though. I wish we had more of them together in a relationship. That’s to say, this book is the true definition of a slow burn. So if you like the slow burns, you will LOVE this book.
This is out now, so if you’re interested, you can find it here.
