Summary

What if what you really need is right there in front of you, if you just take a moment to look up?

Milly has been waiting for this moment forever, and finally it’s just an hour away - an interview with Vogue magazine and the opportunity to get her Louboutin-clad foot in the door. There’s just one problem - totally engrossed in her mobile phone, Milly doesn’t see the bus that is fast approaching - until it’s too late....

When Milly next opens her eyes, the consequences of her accident become clear. Everything she has worked for and dreamed of suddenly feels out of reach. But there is one bright spot on her horizon - the reappearance of her ex Jed, in all of his six-foot-four, broad-shouldered glory, with the most piercing ice blue eyes Milly ever saw.

Once used to working in a whirlwind, Milly now has the chance to reconsider how to live. Will she rush back to the treadmill, get her head down and back to business, or is there a whole other life waiting for her, if she’ll just look up to see it?

Maxine Morrey’s latest uplifting, heart-warming romance is guaranteed to brighten up your day.

An easy story line to follow

An easy to follow story which I enjoyed. A little bit predictable towards the end, but still a book I would recommend. The only negative comment would be the narration, the American accent was irritating for me, but as the story went on I was able to zone out from it.

absolutely brilliant!

I loved this from the beginning to the end. The story was read perfectly by the narrator. The actual story was funny, witty and very lovely.

Relax... this book is worth your Full Attention

A story that many of us can relate to, with believable and very likeable characters and a great pace to the story. I savoured every moment of the story, giving it my full attention; and really enjoyed it and relaxed.

Narrator Gloria occasionally appeared to 'forget herself' and read at nineteen to the dozen, but only ever for a very short period of time.

I like to be fair and say as I find, for an informative review; hence the highest praise for this excellent book; while another, by a different Author; I've slated elsewhere. I'll be looking out for other books by Maxine Morrey

Dull and terrible accents

This book was prolonged. The accent for the boyfriend was comical and unrealistic. It felt as everything was happening in actual real-time. Serious editing needed

Light feel-good chick lit

I would’ve liked the story had it not been based on billionaire ex who swoops in and saves the day while the protagonist takes a vacation from life.
