Book Description:
Best friends have one week in paradise to fix their friendship or fall apart in this heart-stopping, utterly romantic new novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After and One Golden Summer.
Frankie and George have been best friends since they were eight years old. Both passionate, impulsive, and headstrong—they’ve always clashed . . . and come back together. Until now. It’s the eve of Frankie’s wedding weekend, and she doesn’t know where they stand or even if George will show up as her best man.
Then, at the start of the festivities, in walks George. For one glorious evening, surrounded by her loved ones, Frankie’s life is finally perfect. But it all comes crashing down when her fiancé dumps her the next morning, leaving only a note as an explanation.
Crushed and confused, Frankie returns to her family’s home to wallow. But George has a different idea and a plan for healing Frankie’s broken heart. He wants her to go on her honeymoon. With him. For one week, to the lush rainforests and misty beaches of Tofino.
Frankie agrees, seeing the trip for what it really is: one last chance to repair their friendship. Even if it means unearthing secrets and long buried feelings neither knows how to handle. Even if it means falling apart for good.
My Book Review:
In Our Perfect Storm, author Carley Fortune weaves a swoon-worthy romantic tale of discovering that a lifelong best friendship was really a case of loving soulmates all along.
Set in Tofino, Vancouver Island, the reader is easily drawn into this emotional romantic story as they follow the dramatic change in the best friendship of Frankie Gardiner and George Saint James.
Set in Tofino, Vancouver Island, the reader is easily drawn into this emotional romantic story as they follow the dramatic change in the best friendship of Frankie Gardiner and George Saint James.
Frankie and George have been best friends since they were eight years old when George moved in next door with his grandmother, Mimi. Their lives had been intertwined, and they had been inseparable from the day that they met. Now twenty-two years later, the thirty-year-old best friends reunite for Frankie's wedding after being apart for several years due to their careers. But one day before the wedding, Frankie wakes up to a note left by her fiancé Nate calling off their wedding. Frankie's family encourages her two months later to go on the planned honeymoon to the seaside resort in Tofino, Vancouver Island with George, who has a seven-step plan to help her move on, and also repair their friendship.
Our Perfect Storm is such a wonderful romantic tale that easily keeps the reader engaged as they follow Frankie and George's story. The reader follows along as their lifelong best friendship changes when they spend a week together at a resort in Tofino, Vancouver Island. Their friendship takes an
unexpected turn when they discover that their longtime platonic friendship has been so much more than that, just denied and hidden under the surface, only to finally realize and acknowledge that they are soulmates and have a chance at having love and happiness together.
There was a great mixture of emotion, drama, angst, banter, and humor mixed in this story. The author does a great job of describing Frankie and George's lives and their long-shared history, and how their undeniable chemistry has sparks flying, even when they needed to figure out that their best friendship had something much more loving and real right in front of them the whole time. Geez they danced around their attraction for so many years, but who doesn't love reading about friendship to lovers' kind of romance stories!
Our Perfect Storm is a wonderful story that has enough emotional depth, drama, romance, comedy, and witty banter, that makes it a delightfully entertaining romantic tale that romance fans will certainly enjoy!
