These Days of Ours
These Days of Ours | Juliet Ashton
5 posts | 2 read | 4 to read
A novel about love. Raw important love. Small, beautiful love. And what happens when the person you love cannot be yours… Perfect for fans of Rowan Coleman, Jane Green and David Nicholls. Kate and Becca are cousins and best friends. They have grown up together and shared all the most important milestones in their lives: childhood birthday parties, eighteenth birthdays, and now a wedding day as they each marry their childhood sweethearts, Charlie and Julian. Kate has always loved Charlie - they were meant to be. Then she discovers that life never turns out quite how you expect it to. And love doesn't always follow the journey it should. But best friends are forever, and true love will find a way, won't it…? Praise for These Days of Ours: ‘Gloriously and irresistibly romantic, I devoured These Days of Ours in a single sitting. There's not just one compelling love story here but two; the twenty-year love story of Kate and Charlie, and also the lifelong friendship between Kate and her cousin Becca. It's like One Day with all the additional trials and tribulations of female friendship’ Hannah Beckerman 'Heart-felt, heart-breaking but ultimately heart-warming. Juliet Ashton has written the romance of the year' Chrissie Manby ‘Juliet Ashton dramatises the landmarks of a young woman’s life with an irresistible lightness of touch. Warm, witty and surprising’ Louise Candlish ‘A delicious story of love and loss that had me utterly entranced. It made me laugh and it made me weep, but most of all it made me relish the warmth of the human heart’ Kate Furnivall Praise for Juliet Ashton: 'Funny, original and wise' Katie Fforde 'Cecelia Ahern fans will love this poignant yet witty romance' Sunday Mirror 'You'll laugh and cry your way through this original and touching love story' Closer

Good. Slow in parts but when the twists come they are quite good as they come out of the blue as you think the chapter is going one way then it just takes a dramatic turn.

This book started out so. Boring. But by the end it seemed to gain some traction.

While the predominant family are white, this book is /fairly/ diverse/inclusive, with:
An older lesbian couple
An interracial couple, with child (and another couple briefly at the end)
A Chinese caregiver
An adopted Chinese child, with a cleft lip

Were they good representations? It's hard for me to say as I'm none of the above, but I'd like to say so.

I'm somewhat bored with this book. I don't really care for any of the characters either, which may be why!

TK421 It can be quite difficult to finish a book when you don't care about the characters. 7y
HelloImJez @TK421 So true, loving characters is really important for me, even if it's just one. It's probably one of the main reasons I read books 7y
