So, I Met This Guy...
Well, isn’t that how every love story starts? But how does it end – a happily ever after? Or with the discovery that the supposed love-of-your-life has stolen your life savings and your home, trashed your heart and demolished your self-esteem?
Maggie is barely fifty years-old, and she's not one to give up on herself. So when she meets Flick, a young reporter who realizes this story could be the big break she’s been looking for, they set off to catch him as he goes on the run across Europe. After all, she’s got nothing left to lose, right?
But as the pair embark on the road trip of their lives, unexpected twists, hidden secrets and hard truths are revealed. And as an unlikely friendship begins to blossom, they realize it’s not just about finding the guy, it’s about finding themselves...
Review:
I can't give this book any less than five stars. I absolutely love Alexandra Potter's books and this one is no different.
Maggie Fletcher is approaching fifty and is living in a mouldy old caravan after being absolutely fleeced of everything by a romance fraudster. Her art gallery, her home, her savings, the lot.
Twenty-six year old Flick, a journalist at the local paper who is usually just given fluff pieces, catches wind of Maggie's situation and visits her claiming she wants to expose con-man Theo.
Flick discovers that Theo is on a Mediterranean cruise and invites Maggie along to follow it at the ships stops in order to confront him. But is a story the only reason Flick is so invested in this?
I loved this so much. The setting made me feel like I was on a beautiful sunny holiday and it is one of those books where you feel like you just have to keep reading on. There is nothing better than having great supporting characters which is exactly what we get with American heiress Birdy and Maggie's best friend George.
A lovely story not just entertaining by way of catching the fraudster but the growth, bonding and friendship that Flick and Maggie develop.
