Alternating between the perspectives of Tess and Gus, the novel explores the conflicts and challenges of new love and old loyalties, passion and duty, logic and belief, with readers racing to find out if the couple can or can't be together. But alas, here I am, having worked up the courage to do just that, and hoping that I make some sort of sense while doing so.

The evocative entertaining prose carries the reader along and the book is such an easy absorbing read it is rather deceptive because it’s only on reaching the end, and reflecting, that one realises the enormity of the novel and the questions it raises.Dear readers, it has been such a long time since I last wrote a book review, so if this review at any time seems a bit wobbly or loose in its structure, I do apologise. But what I love about Gus and Tess’ story is that it is real and vulnerable, nothing is sugarcoated. I’m delighted to be joining Orion’s fabulous list of authors and to be working with a team whose publishing I’ve admired and enjoyed for many years. But it's also a book that implores us to be in the present, to love wholeheartedly and also that while we may not have ever after, we can still have happily. I think prologues really help set up a story so I awarded bonus points for its inclusion in this book.
