I was provided with a copy of this book for an honest review by the author.I like the concept behind the story in this book. The book is about Derrick who gets caught in traffic one day and takes a detour to a closer coffee shop. Here, by chance, Derrick meets Annie & they embark on a love affair.Derrick wakes up one morning and discovers that the relationship he has been in for the last 5 months was nothing but a dream. Derrick realises, as his morning progresses, that his dream wasn't a dream but a look into his future.The characters in the book are really easy to connect with. Annie is the leading female character. Now I don't know if I'm supposed to like Annie or not but find myself wanting to slap some sense into her! Derrick on the other hand I find I want to take home and protect him from the world. I'm not sure if I have developed a positive attachment to Derrick because the book is written from his POV or if it's just because Derricks character is one you instantly want to protect and Annie's you want to smack her up the head. See, easy to connect with.There are a few other characters introduced into the book but as they don't have much to do with this storyline then the author hasn't gone overboard introducing them and developing them to more than what they needed to be. In this respect they were well written.The ending, now the ending of this book had me a bit mad at first. It just kind of ended and I didn't really know how to feel about that. It took me a few days to digest the ending and realise, that the ending has set the series up nicely for the next book to follow on. Sometimes when reviewing a book you just have to take a step back and digest what you have experienced. It's at that point you know you have read a seriously good book!Loved it. Looking forward to the next book in the series.
