Anything Could Happen: A gloriously romantic novel full of hope and kindness

Product Information

Lucy is the Sunday Times bestselling author of eighteen novels including The Beach C afé and Anything Could Happen . The characters are easy to like especially the daughter Eliza because in my opinion she made the story funnier with her ideas and thoughts. I enjoyed this one, a novel about missed opportunities and ‘what ifs’ in life where anything could happen. Het verhaal heeft een rustig tempo en ze neemt de tijd voor uitgebreide karakterschetsen, afgewisseld met inkijkjes in de gedachten van deze mensen, waardoor je iedereen goed leert kennen. Vähän jäi kuitenkin sellainen olo, ettei tämä oikein antanut mitään mitä en olisi arvannut tai mihin en olisi aiemmin törmännyt.

Will Lara ever be able to stop wondering what would have happened if he had gone on a second date with her, would her life have turned out differently? She wants to know who her father is and is determined to meet him, regardless of how Lara feels about the situation.When they wake together in the morning they both seem to feel this is more than just a one night stand. Into the bargain you get some good settings, it’s hard to resist New York City and Scarborough, which I know well, definitely has its attractions though the North Sea swimming club, rather you than me Lara! Brit Lara Spencer was a twenty-six-year-old fashion journalist in New York when she conceived Eliza after meeting Ben McManus, a man whom she expected to spend her future with.

To be honest, I didn’t like Eliza at all, she was like a bulldozer stuck in high gear with a five-year-old driving it, she didn’t care about the wreckage that she would wreck into other peoples lives. So this story contains two big secrets hidden by Lara, one of the main characters, surprise you have a daughter, surprise your dad isn't your dad, a possible car theft, possible second chances, humor and sometimes you get 4 pov which really isn't hard to follow.I am speaking from personal experience as I was almost exactly in the same position as Eliza, though a bit older than her. So Eliza initially sets out to find the mystery man (Ben) on her own without success and Lara begrudgingly tags along - and where do you think they find him - Facebook of course.

The story was not one where I needed to continuously need to keep reading to find out what was going to happen. Her seventeenth novel, Anything Could Happen, is out as an ebook this December and published in hardback January 2022.As Eliza gets to know Ben and they start to bond, she can’t help but wonder what would happen if her parents hadn’t gone their separate ways and if there could be a second chance for them. My biggest problem was that it was slow and needed a good edit, as it took took too long to get where it was going. They were your average, likeable characters - except for Kirsten which I immediately disliked and my feelings towards her didn't change.

Laura has always protected Eliza from the truth but when she finds out Steve is not her biological father she sets out on a mission to find out who is.

Lukukokemukseen vaikuttaa varmasti myös se, että olen erinäisistä syistä viime aikoina kuluttanut melkolailla romanttista hömppää, ja nyt romantiikka alkaa tulla jo korvista ulos. Full circle storytelling, with a feel-good ending - exactly the genre and those who enjoy the author will probably love it more than I did. Their journey to the truth will take them on a road trip across England, and eventually to New York, where it all began. In haar kenmerkende vlotte en warme schrijfstijl neemt Lucy Diamond je vanaf de eerste pagina mee in de roerige levens van deze personages.Lara and her nearly 18 year old daughter have a good life, but Eliza is feeling a bit lost without her father (Lara is divorced) and goes to confront who she thinks is her father, only to find out he's not her biological father and her mother has kept a secret about her birth all these years.
