IT WAS love at first sight for Claire. She met her soul-mate, Bill Hudson, at her fifth birthday party and they were destined to be together for the rest of their lives. She never had another boyfriend and never went through the trauma of breaking up or making up or waiting for the phone to ring.
Their lives were perfect and when baby Georgia came along, it was the icing on the cake. But then Bill was killed in a tragic accident in Jamaica. Claire felt like she'd lost everything. In the three years since, Claire has devoted her life to Georgia; she knows no man could ever replace Bill, and insists to friends that she's fine and has got over Bill's death.
Now Georgia's a teenager, and there's one thing Claire can't advise her on: dating. So, to help her daughter in her journey through her teenage years, Claire sets out on some serial dating.
Internet dating and Dinner In The Dark events all follow but could love be right in front of her eyes?
Having read a couple of Sheila O'Flanagan's books before I was looking forward to this, and I wasn't disappointed. I can imagine some readers being able to relate to all the characters. It was a brilliant read from start to finish.
