I was so excited to read this book after reading Holly's debut The Guestbook. As with the first book, I sped through this because I simply couldn't put it down! Suzie and Harry are friends and colleagues. I was immediately hooked not only by their unique business - organising and implementing amazing marriage proposals for people who want something other than a bunch of roses and a man on one knee - but I was also hooked on their friendship. Suzie loves him, It's as simple as that, but charming Harry has a new girlfriend every week. There's so much more to their relationship - they've been there for each other, particularly Harry has been for Suzie when tragedy struck almost a year before. Without giving anything away about that - there was one scene in particular that was so touching, and heart-wrenching that I think so many people can relate to..(I so wish I could say what happened but I won't spoil it) And Harry continues to be there for Suzie, without her never really understanding his motivations. Not only are the characters well rounded and layered, the story takes flight location wise and then you have the added beauty of the proposals. Just when I thought I knew what might happen another thread of the story was weaved in that had me guessing. This book will leave you feeling hopeful and happy and that sometimes you can see what's right in front of you unless you take a leap of faith.Oh and I have to add - Tim Timmings - That made me actually suck coffee up my nose as I was reading! So so funny!
