I put it off and put it off, I read some of the reviews, and then I put it off some more. She’s going to make Tom Valeska 99 percent hers.Īs a huge fan of the author’s first book The Hating Game (I’ve read it a LOT) this was one of my most anticipated reads of the year but I have to confess that for a fair amount of time I was too scared to read it. This time around, Darcy’s switching things up. Soon, a one percent chance with Tom is no longer enough.
But sparks start to fly – and not just because of the faulty wiring. She’s definitely not staying because of her new business partner’s tight t-shirts, or that perfect face that’s inspiring her to pick up her camera again. Suddenly Darcy’s considering sticking around – just to make sure her twin doesn’t ruin the cottage’s inherent magic with his penchant for chrome. Darcy plans to be in an aisle seat halfway across the ocean as soon as the renovations start, but before she can cut and run, she finds a familiar face on her porch: house-flipper extraordinaire Tom’s arrived, he’s bearing power tools, and he’s single for the first time in almost a decade. When Darcy and Jamie inherit a tumble-down cottage from their grandmother, they’re left with strict instructions to bring it back to its former glory and sell the property. That’s the problem with finding her dream man at age eight and peaking in her photography career at age twenty – ever since, she’s had to learn to settle for good enough. She’s travelled the world, and can categorically say that no one measures up to Tom Valeska, whose only flaw is that he’s her twin brother’s best friend – oh, and that 99 percent of the time, he hasn’t seemed interested in her. ĭarcy Barrett has undertaken a global survey of men. Sally Thorne is now safely on my list of auto-buy authors.Ĭrush (n.): a strong and often short-lived infatuation, particularly for someone beyond your reach. It’s packed full of feels and I laughed, I got angry and I cried (a lot).
It’s a very different book but is just as brilliant. As a huge fan of The Hating Game I was a little nervous going into this but I needn’t have worried.
