Lucy is at a crossroads in her
life – after walking out of her job in a small, local ad agency, she meets Caleb,
a photographer in her seaside town. On the same night, she also bumps into her ex-Max,
who was once the love of her life. Lucy must choose which path she is going to
go down, does she pursue her dream of writing a novel and stay in her hometown,
or does she move to London to work as a Copywriter for a large Advertising
agency.
This book is a tale of two stories
– the “Go” part of the book tell us what happens if Lucy goes to London, lives in
a room in her best friend’s house, she lands her dream job and addresses the
issues of Max and what happened to their relationship. The other part of the
story “Stay” tells us what would have happened if Lucy had stayed in her
seaside town and finally sat down to write the novel she’s always dreamt of
writing.
Initially I wasn’t sure if I liked
this story of not – and at times it felt like a real slog to get through it,
but I am so glad that I preserved as towards the end I really enjoyed it.
It had a final twist that I wasn’t
expecting, and about two thirds of the way through I wasn’t sure how it was
going to end. At different points of the book, I really wanted her to choose
one path and then at other times I wanted Lucy to go in a different direction!
