Still the One by Aimee Brown #Review

 

 Today I have another  romcom on the blog, Still the One, by Aimee Brown, which was published on 26th November by Boldwood Books. 

Eve Cassidy thought Guy Foster was the only man she would ever love. Theirs was a whirlwind romance and marriage - until it all ended in tears...

Five years after their break-up, Eve still hasn’t found a reason to believe in true love. But when Foster has an accident and she discovers she’s still listed as his next of kin, Eve knows she can’t let him wake up in hospital with no one by his side. After all, those devilishly blue eyes have always been hard to say no to…

Foster isn’t sure if his poor battered brain is playing tricks on him when he sees the only woman he’s ever loved sitting next to his bedside. Maybe Eve never got over him like he never got over her? And when Eve agrees to him moving into her one-bedroom apartment to recover, it’s clear these exes have unfinished business.

Will weeks in close quarters be the making or breaking of this smouldering second chance love story? Up close and personal, old habits can be hard to break.

 My Thoughts

This is one of those books where you get to see both sides of the story as the viewpoint alternates between the two main characters, Eva and Guy. it starts with a traumatic event which results in them meeting again after five years and their lives are thrown back together again. They have mixed views about this. Eva, in particular, has tried to move on from their relationship and buried herself in her career as a trauma nurse. However, you realise that neither of them has quite been able to let go.

    This is a very readable romcom which has you rooting for both of the characters at the centre. You do become invested in their story. I liked the humour which came from some of the sopprting cast, particularly Eva's neighbour and Guy's reactions to him/ Above all. you sense that they have both been lonely and carrying a broken heart. It is well worth a read to find out how the story ends up and whether love can conquer all, the second time around.

In short: Second chances
