The wedding goes ahead, bridges are rebuilt but what of Oliver? In an attempt to find where he is, Hadley risks making a fool of herself and also discovers the sad truth about why he is also in London. This touching tale of first love and teenage angst highlights what it is like to be young, unsure about love and distraught about a family breaking up.
Although the book is aimed at young adults (something that I have not been for quite some time), I really enjoyed this book. It was an easy yet absorbing read and I liked the way that everything happened in the space of twenty -four hours. There were a few elements of the story that seemed a bit far-fetched but nothing that spoiled the overall enjoyment. Also, if you are a believer in fate, you will like the fact that all that occurs in the story does so because of a fluky four minutes.
It is a light and easy read but it also has more thought -provoking underlying themes. Particularly, I felt that Hadley's feelings of being an innocent victim amid the fallout of her parents' marriage breakup were particularly poignant. Overall, this is an intelligent and enjoyable book.
If you like the sound of this book, why not take a look at [[Pretty Face by Mary Hogan]]or [[The Sun is also a Star by Nicola Yoon]].
