Summary

From New York Times best-selling author Penelope Ward, comes a new stand-alone novel.

The one that got away. Every girl has one, right?

Mine was a charming, British aristocrat who turned my world upside down one summer. From the moment I first spotted Leo in the distance through my binoculars, I’d been captivated. I certainly never expected to find a man showering outside of the property across the bay in his birthday suit.

Then I noticed his housemate staring back at me with binoculars of his own - watching me watching Leo. That made for an interesting conversation starter when I inevitably ran into them. Turned out, the handsome Brits were only renting that house for the summer in my seaside town.

Leo and I formed an instant connection, even though we were technically opposites by all appearances. I taught him how to dig for clams, and he taught me that not all wealthy and powerful guys are pretentious.

Despite knowing he was totally wrong for me, I couldn’t seem to stay away.

It was a wild and crazy few months. And before I knew it, we’d fallen in love. We both had one wish: more time together.

But Leo had obligations back home. He lived a life I’d never fit into. And I was going to law school. So, we decided to end it and never look back. A part of me always felt like I’d let my soulmate walk away.

I believed our story was over.

Until five years later when he sent me a letter that shook me to my core. I’d thought my world was turned upside down that first summer?

Well, I knew nothing yet.

Get ready for an emotional ride 💞

Loved this story about Felicity and Leo. He is torn between fulfilling his responsibilities towards his family and the developing feelings for Felicity.
There is a lot of rollercoaster emotions during this story and the narrators performed them so well that sometimes I felt as exhausted as the characters.
Well done Penelope for a first class storyline. ❤

pure perfection!

What an utterly beautiful book. Pure perfection and beautifully narrated. It will take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, and some will call it a slow burn, but oh SO good! Amazing main carracters and sidekick Sigmund is simply hillarious! I have seldom laughed so much, but... there's a story there, when his life takes an unexpected turn. Don't think I have ever longed more for a follow up book, than for his story.
I can't put my finger on anything I would have changed in this book. It's just been a lovely experience. You will cry some and laugh a lot. Enjoy!
