Love, almost- Hayley Doyle-Contemporary fiction

Chloe has been seeing Jack for a while and has not long moved in with him.

Although not together for very long she realises that she is in love with him-

could he be the one? They had a fantastic holiday in Thailand where he asked

her to move in. One day at their flat, which Jack rents off his parents, Chloe

is rather startled by his father's appearance. He has some devastating news-

Jack is dead. He has been hit by a van in an accident and died at the scene.

His parents don’t know about Chloe being anything more than a one night

stand and she is pretty much left to her own devices. To start with she only

tells a close friend and tries to carry on normal life as best she can. She

realises at the funeral that she hardly knows anyone and they don’t realise

that she was Jack’s girlfriend, it's as if she doesn't exist in their world, yet

Jack was the world to her. This is the story of how she got over the months

following his death. As many others have said about the line about taking

pictures of toes and glasses of wine in the sunset- don’t -take them of the

person you love as you really don’t know how many tomorrows you may

have. A wonderful read of picking yourself up and getting on with life

despite all the turmoil inside. How, yes, it changes you but the world

does go on turning and you with it whether you like it or not and that

there is sunshine after the rain. A wonderful read to make you think.
