Mickey e Fred si conoscono da quando erano piccoli, sono cresciuti insieme, poi i casi della vita li hanno portati distanti. Si rincontrano quindici anni dopo, lei fiorista e madre single, lui è un marketing manager che sta per sposare la sua fidanzata marcata Gucci.
A questo punto, regola vuole che non essendo un saggio e non essendo un classico assoluto, non possa dirvi di più per evitare di spoilerare la fine.
Ma se state cercando qualcosa di leggero ma scritto discretamente bene rispetto alla maggior parte dei romanzi d'amore che trovate in giro, un libro che metta insieme anche tanto humour e un po' di vita inglese, beh, i due autori sono quello che fa per voi.
Letto all'inizio dell'anno, quindi non ero pronta per una lettura troppo profonda o complicata. Ma essendo anche una lettrice forte, avrei insultato la mia intelligenza per aver letto un chick-lit di bassa qualità.

*****************************************************************************
I realized I have a kind of a "story" with these two authors that lasts as long as their marriage. They got married in 1999, after writing their first book together, "Come Together". Just in 1999, on vacation, I bought that book and found it absolutely well written and delicious. Since then, I've read all three books about the story of Amy and Jack (appreciating them not always the same way if I have to be honest) and now this one that deals with completely different characters.
Mickey and Fred have known each other since they were little, they grew up together, then the cases of life took them far away. They meet fifteen years later, she is a florist and a single mother, he is a marketing manager who is about to marry his very posh girlfriend.
At this point, rule has it that not being an essay and not being an absolute classic, I cannot tell you more to avoid spoiling the end.
But if you are looking for something light but fairly well written compared to most of the love novels you can fin on sale, a book that also brings together a lot of humour and a little bit of English life, well, the two authors are what you need.
Read at the beginning of the year, so I wasn't ready for too deep or complicated a reading. But being a strong reader, I would have insulted my intelligence for reading a low-quality chick-lit.
