The blurb:
Lucy is the
wrong side of thirty and tormented daily by the idyllic family pictures
cluttering up her Facebook newsfeed. All of her friends seem to be getting
married and having babies, and yet here she is, resolutely single, and no
prospect of creating the perfect family she's always dreamt of.
How she longs
for it to be her turn.
But finding love
is complicated, and as time passes she wonders if there might just be another
way to make her dreams come true. Is she brave enough to go it alone, or is the
fantasy of 'baby makes three' just too precious to give up on?
Funny, warm, and
a story for our time, Just the Two of Us will make you laugh and cry, and remind
you never to give up on love.
My Opinion:
*Book provided by the publisher on
NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*
Lucy is single, but longs to
be in a relationship, to get married and to have kids. All the friends around
her are starting a family and she is kind of stuck. We get to accompany Lucy on
her way to find love. Of course we get to meet her friends and her family as
well, which gave the story a fresh touch.
Lucy is a very relatable and
down to earth character. The book is full of funny and fresh scenes, described
in a really vivid way.
I had quite a hard time getting
into this story and I never really did. The storyline, even though it had a
logic flow, progressed way to fast for me. From meeting a guy, to dating, to
being in a serious relationship etc. Everything went so quickly and I feel some
things were only touched briefly, which is a pity. The details and the depth
was clearly missing for me.
I really wanted to love this
story more, because I like the idea behind it and some scenes were so
refreshing, funny and cute.
