Love Almost by Hayley Doyle published by Avon Books
Drama teacher Chloe is deliriously in love
for the very first time. Following a wonderful holiday to Thailand, Jack, her
boyfriend of five months, is killed in a tragic accident, and Chloe is left
reeling. Their relationship was amazing – but it never really had the chance to
get started. Grieving but determined, Chloe decides to live life for the both
of them and makes her way through the list of things they’d planned to do
together – this time on her own.
If I am brutally honest, I
really didn’t “get” this book – it was a quick read as I was desperate to know
what was going to happen. Convinced there was a twist to the tale, I kept coming up with
my own theories, waiting for the big “reveal”, however there isn’t one, and I
discovered this is a book about love, loss and grief.
Chloe is a nice character, but
I didn’t fully understand her. There were a few other characters in the book who
came and went during the story (the people who had a flat in the house conversion), and also Justin who I really liked, but I felt they didn’t really have any relevance to the story.
