Heart wrenching story of Anna and Theo, two people who come from very different lives and deserve some love and happiness.

Utterly fabulous, I couldn’t put this book down. Read with a lump in my throat but so so good.

Amanda Prowse is on fire! I can’t wait to read Theo’s side of the story... keep your tissues handy, you may need them if you’re usually reduced to tears by this fabulous author

5*

Where do I even begin when reviewing this novel? There aren’t enough words in the English language to describe the brilliance of Amanda Prowse.

I knew I would love it before I even read the blurb, because all her books are fantastic. But she just keeps getting better.

Anna has had a difficult childhood. She is so happy in this lovely little bubble with her Mum and brother. They are poor, her brother already has problems, but Anna is happy. Then the bubble bursts, and a series of events lead to Anna ending up in care. But she’s a strong and determined woman, and builds a better life for herself.

When she meets Theo, they fall in love quickly. On the surface, he has it all, but he is damaged too. You really want the best for Anna and Theo. They deserve the happy ending.

This book tells Anna’s side of the story. There are so many emotions in it. The only fault I can find in it is that now I have to wait for Theo’s story to be released! I’m really looking forward to it.

Another 5 star review for Amanda Prowse. It's going to be a long wait till March to read the rest of Anna's story and I can't wait!

I really enjoyed this read, it was an easy read, but one with some depth and emotional attachment for readers. Anna has gotten hit after hit in her young life, losing her mother and brother at a very young age and ending up in care. She finally meets the love of her life, but it doesn't seem that his values are the same as hers. Dark secrets and hidden truths are preventing them from truly connecting, and his past may be stopping him from helping her to fulfill her greatest desire, to become a mother. I thought young Anna, and adult drinking Anna, had some real depth and teeth to her. She was three dimensional, passionate, and I was invested in her character. There were some moments in the book that were overly syrupy sweet to me, and I often got frustrated with Anna for not being more adamant about her needs in the marriage. I think that's the mark of a good author though, that we care enough to get frustrated by the characters and to want better for them. While this book could be read as a stand alone, it has a companion book in which we get to meet Anna's love, Theo, and get the background story on his life and the next chapter of their journey together. Greatly looking forward to it!

This was my first Amanda Prowse book and I am glad I requested it. The description intrigued me and I was not disappointed. The story follows Anna, a girl we see grow in each chapter and I don't mead that solely in age. She is a strong character who stole my heart and left me wanting more. This is a story of love and family. It broke my heart and put it right back together as the story progressed. I am now looking to read other work by this author.

I didn’t realise I was reading a taster version of the book until I got to Anna’s 18th birthday and was told “the story continues..... out in March”. Absolutely gutted that I have to wait to carry on reading as I was so engrossed. As always with Amanda Prowse, an easy to read, draws you in, can’t put it down book.
Can’t wait till March.

I was completely taken by Anna's story, I thought that she was immensely likeable, believed in her as a character and really wanted things to work out for her. Her perspective of her relationship with Theo was captivating and I will definitely buy the next book to find out what he was thinking when all of this was going on. Wonderful, just wonderful writing and an easy 5 stars.

Love love love this. Another fab read from Amanda. I didn't want it to end and I can't wait to read Theo's side of the story. Hurry up and finish his book please Amanda. I need to know what happens to Anna next!

An absolute gem of a story from Amanda Prowse, I devoured this book in one afternoon. Anna is such a wonderful character that you cannot help get completey immersed in her story. As always, Amanda Prowse has left me wanting more and I cannot wait to hear Theo's story when released. An easy 5 stars from me

Anna. Another brilliant read from Amanda Prowse. This side of the story follows Anna and her life, she’s not had things easy and then she meets Theo, the love of her life.
A truly believable story that made me cry and laugh and cry some more. I loved every second and didn’t want it to end.
I now can’t wait to read Theo’s side of the story.

Wow Amanda Prowse you have done it again ....a book of loss and love told beautifully in Anna’s words .Amanda’s style of writing is a joy to read .and she never fails to draw you into her stories and make the characters jump off the page . This was Anna’s story and I wait eagerly to read Theo’s . Once again an easy 5⭐️. My thanks to the publisher and to Amanda for giving me the opportunity to read

What an Amazing read , from Page one Anna stole my heart , her strength , resilience and kind nature jumps from the pages. It’s easy to imagine Anna as a person not just a character and I can’t wait to finish her journey in the next instalment of Theo #OneLoveTwoStories my first read of 2018 with a 5 star review Amanda prowse has me hooked and hungry for more ! Read this Novel in a day I was captivated xxxx

Another great book by my favourite author, Anna was a beautifully written love story and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it, I love the idea of the book being two sides of the story, Anna/Theo and can't wait to read Theo, I definitely give 5 stars and highly recommend this book.

I loved the character of Anna! I love the concept of this being written from two points of view and I can’t wait to read Theo’s story.

Absolutely loved this latest book by Amanda prowse, as always she never fails to make you live the story. Full of emotion, I cannot wait to read Theo's story, hope it's not too long!

Another amazing piece of writing by Amanda Prowse. Amanda has an amazing knack of bringing her characters to life and you can relate to them.
For the first nine years of Anna's life were happy living with her mum and older brother.
Anna was oblivious to the fact that there was very little money around in their small flat.
Anna's world comes tumbling down when her mum dies unexpectedly, followed a few years later by her brother.
Her maternal aunt and family take her to live with them, but for Anna this life is unbearable, pretty soon she runs away in search of her black cabbie dad; Michael, who's she's never met.
Anna stays in care for the rest of her childhood, on leaving the establishment, she moved into a tiny flat and find a job.
Throughout the book Anna plays the alphabet game also writes letters to her future children.
Throughout the pages we live through Anna's life: her up and downs, friendships, relationships and her shear determination to find her dad.
As a reader you can't fail to believe in Anna and you hope her struggles aren't in vain.

Superb, brilliant, heart wrenching, what more can I add. Just the most wonderfully written story, I loved every page from start to finish and was sad when it came to the end.

I loved this boko, loved the way it was written, loved the story...Again another great book written by Amanda Prowse. a book full of emotion, heartbreak, love and happiness

Give yourself some time, put yourself into an undisturbed space for a few hours and sit back and be taken on an emotional journey that will make you smile and cry simultaneously

I loved this book and am so sad to finish. I don't want to wait to find out what happens to Anna, she has become part of my core and I just cannot wait but know I have to. What a wonderful book that brings the reader through 12 heartbreaking years of Anna's life. Amanda has gone and done it again - got inside the mind of someone who is living Anna's life right now

Wonderful book

Amanda Prowse has to be my favourite author and once again she writes an utterly brilliant novel that I couldn’t put down and finished it in a day. A brilliant storyline with characters that we can all relate to at some time in our lives. There is a lovely mix of emotion and that leads us into the setting for the next part of the story which I can’t wait to read. Please don’t keep us waiting too long Amanda!!!!
