The
Greatest Love Story of all Time by Lucy Robinson
Its Frans 30th birthday and things are good.
She’s bluffed her way into a very posh job and her outlandishly handsome and
talented boyfriend Michael is escorting her to the Ritz with a bulge in the
shape of a ring box in his pocket.
But something has gone wrong. By the end of the evening
Fran is howling in bed with a bottle of cheap brandy and one of Michaels old
socks.
In her quest to figure out why her life has suddenly gone
down the pan, Fran comes up with a failsafe plan: live like a badger, stalk a
stranger called Nellie and cancel her beloved Gin Thursdays in favour for
drinking gin every night. But then Frans friends force a very different plan on
her and its nowhere near as fun. How could eight dates possibly make her feel
better?
But eventually she agrees. And so begins the greatest love
story of all time………
The blog on the back of this book, nowhere near covers the
delectable delights, the LOL one liners that are in store for the reader. The
emotional turmoil that most of us can relate to when we are dumped, but also
with an alcoholic mother who is having a 20 year affair with a tory politician
there is some real emotional depth. As a daughter of two alcoholic parents I
totally get the angst that Fran goes through.
Without giving too much away, I guarantee a feel good
ending that we expect from this kind of story. A lovely light, entertaining
read that I would highly recommend.
