Stephanie and Jamie are meant to be. The problem is they're both with other people...
________________________________
Stephanie doesn’t believe in fate, true love or living happily ever after. She’s content enough being engaged to Matt. But then she meets Jamie, who understands her more than anyone else ever has.
Jamie is happily married to his childhood sweetheart Helen and believes in everything Stephanie doesn’t. So why does he have such a strong connection with Stephanie?
When Stephanie and Jamie meet one fateful weekend in 2006 it will change everything...
Ten years. Two people. One epic love story.
The Day We Met is an immensely moving and heart-warming epic love story perfect for fans of Josie Silver's One Day in December and Zoë Folbigg's The Note.
My review....
To say that I was greatly moved by this book would be the biggest understatement I could suggest. This is truly a captivating read that pulled me in, heart and soul, and wouldn't let me up for air until the concluding pages. Roxie Cooper certainly knows how to weave a compelling web that leaves you breathless, heartbroken and elated to have taken such an emotional journey. This is one book I wholeheartedly know I will revisit time and time again over the years to come.
The story line is a beautifully woven tapestry of love. Two people, ten years and one epic love story to rival any Hollywood offering. There really isn't anything more I could add to avoid dropping any hints or spoilers. But I can truthfully tell you that this is a love story you do not want to miss.
Stephanie and Jamie are characters that I fell head over heels in love with. Their chemistry is not earth shattering, it is so much more than that. Deeper and fierce and all consuming and as a reader it is moving to the point of breathlessness. I found myself, many times throughout my reading journey, holding my breath as I was utterly transfixed and lost in the world that was created before my eyes.
I could go on and on about how much this book has moved me and that I have been unable to stop thinking about it since I read the final page. So I shall just say this......read it! Grab your nearest copy and hold it tight, start reading it today. It is, hand on heart, one of the best books I have read in a long time and I predict great things for this perfectly imperfect love story (did someone say a movie deal.....oh wait that was me!!!!). It's raw, emotive, heartbreaking and wonderful all rolled up into one supreme story. Well done Roxie Cooper, I salute you, this is one book that will be staying with me for years.
About the author...
Roxie was born and raised in Middlesbrough.
After studying Classics at Newcastle University, she realised she needed a break from studying Latin, Ancient Greek and all that serious stuff, so naturally, she became a dancer in a nightclub (à la Coyote Ugly) for a few years before going to live in Australia. Upon returning to the UK she became a criminal barrister for 7 years.
It was after constantly being told “Oh! You don’t look like a barrister!” that the idea for her debut novel was born.
Roxie lives in Yarm, a pretty little market town in the North-East. She’s a bit (lot) obsessed with Prince and spends far too much time watching him on YouTube. Her hobbies include watching musicals, making her hair as big as possible, and wishing she was Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
You can follow her on Twitter/Instagram @toodletinkbaby She's also on Facebook as Roxie Cooper.
