A story of love, loss, grief and forgiveness. 

Eddie and Sarah meet on a chance encounter. They end up spending seven wonderful days together until Eddie leaves for to go on holiday. They exchange numbers, social media and agree to keep in touch until his return. They reluctantly say goodbye and agree that they have started to fall in love. However, Sarah is unable to get hold of Eddie. Her friends think she's been ghosted but she knows deep down, there is more to this story. 

I found this a little slow at first but the book did pick up pace and kept my interest. A book that's better to be read in longer sittings and once you are a third of the way in, it's hard to put down! My heart broke for Sarah in places and I felt like I was going through the motions with her. A gripping read but a heavy read in places.
