Addie and her sister Deb are driving from England to a friend's wedding in Scotland when a car crash forces them to share their small vehicle with Addie’s ex-boyfriend, Dylan, and his eccentric friend Marcus. The narrative alternates between the cramped, awkward present-day drive and the history of Addie and Dylan’s initial romance in Provence two years prior. As the group navigates traffic jams and mechanical failures, the timeline reveals the specific misunderstandings and mental health struggles that caused their previous breakup.
This book serves readers who enjoy contemporary romance centered on the reconciliation of former partners. It appeals to those interested in the mechanics of long-term healing after a messy separation and the influence of social circles on private relationships. Readers finish the book with an understanding of how unresolved trauma and poor communication affect intimacy. They gain a perspective on whether love can survive a second attempt once the original causes of friction are directly addressed by both parties.
Practical, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
