Vince & Joy by Lisa Jewell

Synopsis :

 Vince & Joy are both looking for something...

 in their teens, in family holidays and bathroom mirrors.

in their twenties, in messy London flats and messy London relationships.

in their thirties, in marriages that appears stable - and feel anything but.

Seventeen years ago Vince and Joy met, parted and never said goodbye.  And soon they're going to have to ask themselves : could it be that they actually found what they've both been looking for, back in the mid-eighties, in a holiday park by the sea?

This is the third title by Lisa Jewell that I read.  I love first title which is 31 Dream Street but I didn't like the second book that I read which was One Hit Wonder.  But I do like Vince & Joy.

It runs a bit like Love, Rosie by another famous author but this storyline was told in a different manner and as characters, Vince & Joy shared very little 'book time' together and appeared in their own chapters but the way the author relates them was rather refreshing and enjoyable.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book from beginning to the end when I was stuck in hotel rooms at night during my recent work trip.
