Description
This is the story of girl meets boy.
And then everything goes wrong . . .
Ever since they first met at university, Beth and Nick have circled in and out of one another's lives: supporting each other through grief, marriage, divorce, career crises and family dramas.
Fourteen years ago, when they were on the cusp of adulthood, they both survived a devastating fire that sent their lives in different directions. And they’ve been running ever since: from the pain, from the memories, and most devastatingly of all, from the guilt.
But no matter how hard they try, there's something else they can't run from. The inescapable, terrifying truth: they’re in love with each other.
But how can they move forward, when neither of them can stop looking back?

This is the story of girl meets boy.. And then everything goes wrong. And I've never wanted everything to go right in such a long time! Heartbreaking and full of longing and chemistry - it's a captivating story and a pitch-perfect romance. I adore Beth and Nick.

Beth ambitious, beautiful and talented, missed freshers week thanks to glandular fever! She shares a bathroom with Nick her new flat mate - the loveliest guy ever! The Magnetism between them is unveiled.
A fire starts in their halls, theres a face at the window! Torn apart - they never got the chance to explore what might have been!
The story spans over 15 years, where they learn to live with the trauma.
Found myself totally routing for Beth and Nick the whole way through the book. An easy 5 stars from me!
Perfect for those who enjoy:
- Unfinished romantic endings revisited
- Fans of ‘One Day’ by David Nichols
- Dual timelines
- A story about star crossed lovers
- Girl meets boy and then everything went wrong
With thanks to Aria & Aries and Netgalley for an ARC copy in return for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this dramatic and gripping love story between Nick and Beth. I loved the bombshell moment near the end which made me gasp aloud. It's written in sections "before" and "after" the fire. I liked how the plot emphasises family values and how parents/grandparents play an important part in influencing Nick and Beth's behaviour. Entertaining and compelling this is one not to be missed.

Another enjoyable book from this author!
Romance and drama. Love and accident and a classic question: will they make it in the end?
I love the style the author brought the main characters to me as a reader. A book you get into easy.
Solid work.
One star less because at times I‘d have shorten the book. But it probably goes to another proofread anyway.
Thanks for providing a copy!!!!
