It's a beautiful day in 1994 and the turn-out in the school playground is fantastic. Isobel is eight years old and marrying Andrew Parker, the boy of her dreams. Life is perfect. Then the ceremony is over, and a week later so is the marriage. Twenty years on and Isobel is dressed as a prawn handing out promotional fliers outside an L.A. fish market. Her career is going nowhere and her love life leaves a lot to be desired. Nothing Isobel hoped for has gone to plan. Then, she catches sight of Andrew, her first husband, in the background of a TV news item and wonders: if she can track down Andrew, will she recapture the happiness that she felt all those years ago? Isobel travels the globe to find her first husband, via Cornwall, Devon and a remote Malaysian island, but is he really what she is looking for?
I just adore Rosie, her books and writing are just so happy and make you smile and take you to all these fun places. The latest instalment is when Iz goes on a quest to find her first husband, Andrew. Whom she married in school and has dreamt of ever since. He's the one. Or least that has Iz see's it and no-one else will ever come close. Forget they've not seen each other for years!
After a freak chance of catching a glimpse of Andrew on TV, Iz ups and leaves LA to go back to England to find true love. But he's not there and its another trip to Malaysia... Does Iz find the love of her life?
Rosie captures everything fantastically. The descriptions of the remote Island sound beautiful and you wonder if such things exsit ever. There are a few interesting characters along the way, we have Iz's best friend Mel, who is the ultimate best friend. They're amazing together, we meet the gorgeous photographer Zeb and Andrew.
It's a fun book where you'll giggle and cringe at some of the things Iz is doing. You do sometimes (least i did) want to try knock some sense into her but you know she's forgiven. I really can't wait to see what is next for Rosie!
