SYNOPSIS
Lizzie Morris is ready for the first day of the rest of her life – she’s starting as a trainee teacher at Cranswell Primary and she’s hopeful that she’ll make the squad for the final of her team’s football tournament. Finally, Lizzie seems to be putting her tragic past behind her and she is sure that her parents would be proud.
Coming face to face with Noah Hatton, however, was not part of the plan. He is still as athletic and handsome as she remembered and seeing him drags up painful memories. Horrifyingly, the Head Teacher then asks the pair of them to organise the school’s Sports Day and thrown together, their chemistry and competitive relationship reignites. Will the unwelcome distraction of Noah derail Lizzie’s teacher training and will she survive this blast from the past?
MY THOUGHTS
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this, it was pure escapism. The author has written some great character in Lizzie, Noah, Kirstie and Tom. All the characters are likeable and relatable.
Lizzie is about to start doing what she has always wanted to do. That is to train as a teacher, she has been offered a term before the summer holidays to go in and watch and take part in teaching. Hopefully with a chance of seeing what it’s really like.
What Lizzie hadn’t expected was to bump into someone she hasn’t seen for 10 years Noah Hatton. He took the class she was working for PE and it’s not long before the competitive behaviour starts between the two.
But what had gone wrong 10 years earlier?
I loved the relationship between Lizzie and her housemate Tom, who also worked at the school as a TA. This is a real fun read. If you like enemies to friends then this will be perfect for you. Nicely plotted everything works well, definitely one for the romance fans out there.
