Thirteen years ago Amy Crane ran away from everyone and everything she knew, ending up in an unfamiliar city with no obvious past and no idea of her future. Now, though, that past has just arrived on her doorstep, in the shape of an old music cassette that Amy hasn't seen since she was at university. Digging out her long-neglected Walkman, Amy listens to the lyrics that soundtracked her student days. As long-buried memories are wrenched from the places in her mind where she's kept them safely locked away for over a decade, Amy is suddenly tired of hiding. It's time to confront everything about her life. Time to find all the friends she left behind in England, when her heart got broken and the life she was building for herself got completely shattered. Time to make sense of all the feelings she's been bottling up for all this time. And most of all, it's time to discover why Jack has sent her tape back to her now, after all these years... With her mantra, New life, New job, New home, playing on a continuous loop in her head, Amy gears herself up with yet another a bucked-sized cup of coffee, as she goes forth to lay the ghost of first love to rest...
This is a wonderful contemporary romance from author Jenny Kane. The characters are a mixed bag, and all very three-dimensional and likeable. I could easily see myself at Pickwick's having a cup of coffee with Amy and Kit! After reading this story, they are like comfortable friends to me.The author skillfully weaves a tale of friends, the couples that they are, and their past histories that come boiling to the top. She has a great handle of writing dialogue that really lets the personality of the characters shine through. Their banter is realistic and fun to read. I loved how I could just imagine how they sounded. (I am American, and of course have a fascination with British accents!) The story is more about their interactions and relationships with each other and with the curve-balls that life throws at them, with the undercurrent of romance. I was very happy that Amy got her happily ever after, although I would have liked that for Jack as well. I look forward to reading Jenny Kane's story, Another Cup of Christmas, and a chance to read more stories centered around what sounds like the best coffee house in London.
