If you like books where characters fall instantly in love, then this is the book for you!

Phoebe and Sam fall in love during a train delay at St Pancras station as both wait for trains destined to keep them apart for a year. Can they manage to keep that connection through that kind of distance and irregular contact?

Phoebe is travelling Europe and finding the confidence in herself. Her journey was lovely and the notion of marking the moments of your life was something I would like to do better myself. Her adventures in France and Italy had me itching to follow her and discover the same places.

Sam is travelling to the Isle of Mull to retrace his childhood steps, get over a heartbreak and reconnect with his roots. His surprise at loving island life and the way he became part of a strong community showcases some of the best things life outside the city can offer.

But is it realistic? I struggled with it, though I enjoyed their seperate journeys I didn't buy that they were fully in love or needed to test that love for some never properly explained reason. These two don't communicate well, and so I was never entirely sure that they were building foundations or holding on to something worthwhile.
