Publisher's Summary

From adolescent snogging to apartment shares, relationships, career crises, and children, Vince and Joy is the unforgettable story of two lives lived separately but forever entwined. Back in the '80s, teenagers Vince and Joy met, fell desperately in love, parted, and never quite said goodbye. Now, nearly 20 years later, they’ve both begun to ask themselves if that long-ago romance was the enduring love they’ve been searching for....

Well done

A fun ride though way too many steps in getting there. Wish there was a follow up.

A total riot that will want you to reach into the pages and ring a few necks!

I laughed more than I ever have at the incredible narration. The story line and character plots at time went on far to long but in the end it was all good. It might make for a cute sequel.

Another great book by Lisa Jewell

I'm generally a pretty big fan of Lisa Jewell's novels and this one definitely didn't disappoint. I enjoyed the story and thought that the characters were well written and that the story was heart warming. I would definitely recommend this book.

LOVED IT

The writing and narration were impeccable. The story and characters were fantastic. The only unsettling thing was seeing myself in one of the characters and knowing there’s no chance that my story will turn out like this one.

Eh

Wasn't the best. Only finished it because I paid for it. Skip this one and read some of her others

Fast Forwarded last 4 Hours. Predictable

Definitely not one of Lisa Jewell’s finer works. The book starts off with interesting character and plot development but peters out towards the middle of the book. The ending was so obvious that I couldn’t be bothered to listen to the last 4 hours and just skipped through to the blasé conclusion.

Terrible ending

the ending was the most terrible crap ending of a book ever. I have never ever been so annoyed or wish I hadn't read a book ever. so beyond disappointing.

Lisa Jewell’s books have improved since this one was published in 2005

I have read and enjoyed mast of Lisa Jewell’s books but feel that this one is not up to her usual standard.
There isn’t much substance to the story and it’s as if it has been written for teenagers.
