An easy read which is very moving September 24, 2008
This book is perfect for those days when you want a nice easy, pleasurable read. However, there is also a darker side to the story that is very moving and once revealed makes you look at the story and characters in a whole new light. Me and my mum both really enjoyed this book and would recommend it
 Best Harriet Evans novel yet! September 22, 2008
I've read all of the author's previous books and this is her best yet. The right mixture of romance, intrigue, humour and pathos - it keeps you hooked until the end. Can't wait for the next one Harriet!

Having read A Hopeless Romantic and enjoyed that I bought "the love of her life". I found it a totally different read. It took me a while to get into the book as I was not totally taken with the flashbacks at first, but understood they were necessary to the plot. Katy and Mac are good characters and then the "evil" characters Charly and Sean. The book is one you have to give a chance and having done so really enjoyed it! It had my heart racing in anger and then tears of sadness all within a couple of chapters. Wonderfully written and I can honestly say Harriet Evans is now one of my favorite Authors!!! Looking forward to her next book.
 Really disappointed September 13, 2008

I loved the author's last two books and had ordered this one in advance. 'A Hopeless Romantic' is one of my favourite books but this one left me disappointed. This book had no real story; it was just a big long explanation about something that happened in the past which has shaped the main character's present life. Frankly the whole thing just wasn't very interesting. I really struggled to finish the book but I kept going to the end hoping something really good was going to happen but it didn't.
 Doesn't live up to the hype September 8, 2008

I was really looking forward to reading this book but having just finished it, I am disappointed. Harriet Evans creates her main character Kate in the style of something from the time when women were seen and not heard. Instead of sympathising with Kate, I wanted to shake her for being so caught up in her own misery to notice what was going on around her. Changing from the present to the past was confusing and it was obvious from the start what Kate was running away from.
The use of London and New York also failed to capture my imagination as neither city was allowed to interact with the plot in any major way. All in all, a bit of a let down.
