About this deal

The strong characters draw you in from the first page and you find yourself wanting to read just one more chapter all the time.

The book took me on a real roller coaster, one moment making me sympathize for both of them, and the next being simply thrown off to a completely new direction wondering what the hell are these ladies doing. However, there were some points in the book where I had my doubts about their choices, knowing they are adults who in my opinion should have managed some situations differently. Their friendship was lovely to follow, as they were always there for each other even if they didn't always agree.However, the Lakeside Takeaway and Bar will still be open to the public as well as admission, swimming and self- launch! Wemple says he thinks films work better when they explain less, but leaving it so mysterious that it might as well be magic doesn’t work either. It's the same as with Roberta, the blurb mentions the island where Octavia can find her refuge, and so I was in fact expecting the plot to took totally different direction, and was a little disappointed that the island is in fact only a very little part of the plot, although significant - because actually everything started and ended there and, ah, I so love when the story went round in a circle! But a mutual friend eventually offers him a contract on the island of Sardinia, which is within spitting distance of Corsica. At times they didn’t understand each other and their choices, at times they were envious of each other and sometimes they did despair of each other but they cared.

I really tried to analyze them and one minute I would feel like Roberta type, next I would recognize myself in Octavia. The further I was into the story, the more I knew how it's going to end, but nevertheless, my waiting was diversified with a fast pace and thousand of twists and turns, so it in no way spoiled my reading or bothered me.As Jonathan has no spare time to spend with her she takes the ferry over to Corsica where she revisits the haunts of her teenage travels and the homeland of her first love, Xavi. More than just friendship, they shared their deepest, darkest secrets and were each other's sounding boards when things got tough in each of their lives. By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. She’s married yes but to safe reliable Jonathan and instead of packing the suitcase and travelling the world with him and free -spirited children, the only packing she does these days is the family’s packed lunches. But in any friendship group, when a couple splits up, the ripple effect can often be felt far and wide.
