"Two people. Ten classic films. A love story you’ll never forget. Arden has just started university when she meets Mac – and quickly falls head over heels for the handsome, charismatic film lecturer. Their love affair is dramatic, exciting and all-consuming; the sort of thing you only see in the movies. It couldn’t last. But thirty years later, leading a very different life, Arden is visiting a friend in hospital when she suddenly comes across the man she never forgot. Badly injured in an accident, Mac can only make brief references to the classic films they once watched together: Casablanca, A Star is Born, Pretty Woman among others… and they make Arden remember everything. The bittersweet memories of their relationship help Arden re-connect with the world in a way she no longer thought was possible. But will a movie-worthy love ever be hers again?"Quick Review:Fate has a way of bringing two past lovers back together. When Arden goes to visit a friend who is in hospital, what are the chances that her former lover would not only be in the same hospital but on the same ward.
Main Review/My Thoughts:Swapping between past and present, you get to understand Arden and Mac's love story which happened over 30 years ago through the love of films and how they both have different views of classic movies. I really enjoyed reading this book a month before it came out thanks to requesting it on Netgalley! I loved the way Fiona wrote the Arden when she was at universtity and she was the first person to win Mac's love. I'm not sure if it was Fiona's intention but the way she wrote Mac's charcter, I felt like he wasn't a nice person and wasn't that sad at the shocking twist at the end!. However, I did enjoy Arden and how she was a wild uni student and then 30 years later she had become a lonley and friendlless person due to her ex-husband.
Overall, I really enjoyed this e-book, and you should go and buy it on amazon. It's out today! Now, I'm off to go watch the movies they did!
