What do you do when the guy you’re in love with is seeing someone else?
That’s the dilemma facing Paige Taylor. All of her life she’s only ever had eyes for the gorgeous Alec Wright, but despite their undeniable chemistry, their timing has always been off. Fast approaching her thirtieth birthday, Paige despairs of ever finding love and a happy ever after. Her best friend Poppie tells her that she can either watch life pass her by, or grab it with both hands. She convinces Paige to throw herself back into the dating pool, or she could be waiting for Alec forever.
What Paige didn’t expect was the catalogue of dating disasters to follow. A neck brace, jelly fish, stitches, flashing and an encounter with a gorilla were some of the most memorable. Despite some downright hilarious, humiliating and cringe worthy dates, her biological clock is ticking and Paige is determined to keep trying until she finds the one. Was Alec Wright always her Mr. Right, or is he still out there waiting to be found?
Until We Collide is the story of Paige; who is one of the clumsiest people in the world! Well at least in Shrewsbury anyway, whether its dealing with evil cows, having accidents in canoes or walking down the aisle with her dress in her knickers (I have actually experienced this and thank god for the wedding planner that caught it every day)! If there is a calamity to be had Paige is there causing it, but as she goes through her accident prone life, there is the one man in her life who can make it all better…Alec
But as in all things in Paige’s life, even her love for Alec is not straight forward and they can never seem to get it together to be together and so the highs and lows of their bumpy almost courtship continues until a misunderstanding of epic proportion ends with Alec planning on heading down the aisle with someone else and Paige heart broken and with a jellyfish sting and we as readers are left wondering if Paige is ever going to get her Prince Charming?!
What a book! I honestly don’t think I have ever laughed so much! I literally had tears spilling down my face from Paige dealing with one evil cow to another evil cow (Ruth) all together! I thought my heart was going to break when Alec left Rome (my husband claims he lost his hearing from all my shouting), to my cheers and tears of Poppies’ wedding (my hubby had given up watching TV at this point). This book gave me such a book hangover that I am tearing up just thinking about it.
Where it comes to the characters I don’t think there was one that I didn’t love! Well change that! I loved them all except Ruth! I think I could literally compare every character to someone in my family and that just made this book even more special to me. When it comes to the plot and the writing it was amazing as always, whether she writes as CJ Fallowfield or Charlotte Fallowfield, the author is amazing! And has a mind-blowing talent.
I give Until We Collide 5 stars
