Lucy in the sky

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR Escape to the summer and feel the warmth of Paige Toon's storytelling Settling down for a 24-hour flight to Australia, Lucy finds a text message on her phone - not from her boyfriend James, as she fondly hopes, but from a woman claiming to have slept with him four times in the past month. Trapped on the plane, she questions everything about her relationship with James. She finally calls him and he reassures her: it was only his mates playing a silly joke. James is a lawyer, persuasive and gorgeous and Lucy adores him. So why, at the wedding in Sydney of her best friend Molly, does she have niggling doubts, and find herself attracted to Molly's brother-in-law Nathan? The sooner she gets back to her regular life in London, the flat she shares with James, her job in PR, the better. Nathan is a happy-go-lucky surfer boy, with no prospects, no place to live, an almost-girlfriend in tow. And the other side of the world... Lucy - a girl caught between two distant continents - and two very different men...

I finished it in one day. This was actually a random number read again and when I started I expected to find. I decided to give the first couple of chapters a chance first and the writing style was rough. I felt like I was being told a bunch of stuff and didn't connect with Lucy at first. But I was intrigued to see how her trip to Australia would progress and if her boyfriend had cheated. And then when we met Nathan and there was a spark there I figured let's read a little longer and see how it went. Safe to say, I enjoyed it. 

Lucy did annoy me at times flip flopping about what to do with her boyfriend and new found crush and it was glaringly obvious to me he was a lying liar who lies. I just hated the boyfriend and knew breaking up with him for Nathan would have issues but the whole emotional affair thing was harsh. I felt for poor Nathan I really did. 

It was a quick and easy read though. I know I'll be off for a while with what to read as I've got a series hangover so I'm glad I could escape into a book like this for a while.

How would you react if you got this message just before a 24 hour flight? I HAVE SLEPT WITH YOUR BOYFRIEND FOUR TIMES THIS MONTH It,s been nine years since Lucy left Australia. Nine years since she's seen her best friend Molly, and Sam, the one–time love of her life. Now her two friends are getting married. To each other. And Lucy is on her way to Sydney for their wedding. Life for Lucy has moved on. She's happily living in London with James, her hunky lawyer boyfriend, and has a glamorous job in PR. She's looking forward to a nice relaxing two–week holiday in Sydney. But just before take–off, Lucy receives a text from James's mobile. She can't resist taking a look — and, in one push of a button, her perfect world falls apart... Lucy in the Sky is a wonderfully fresh and confident debut about a young woman caught between two distant continents — and two totally different men.

This was boring and kind of hated the main characther.
