Sometimes there comes a book that just makes your heart sing the further you get into it. I was treated to this upcoming release for review and while it took me a bit to get into it, the deeper I got into it, the more I enjoyed it.
Coming in September, this heartwarming women’s fiction/romance hits all of the notes. Check out my thoughts and full review below.
Eight Perfect Hours by Lia Louis
Publisher: Atria/Emily Bestler Books (September 28, 2021)
ISBN-13: 978-1982135942
OVERVIEW:
On a snowy evening in March, thirty-something Noelle Butterby is on her way back from an event at her old college when disaster strikes. With a blizzard closing off roads, she finds herself stranded, alone in her car, without food, drink, or a working charger for her phone.
All seems lost until Sam Attwood, a handsome American stranger also trapped in a nearby car, knocks on her window and offers assistance. What follows is eight perfect hours together, until morning arrives and the roads finally clear. The two strangers part, positive they’ll never see each other again but fate, it seems, has a different plan. As the two keep serendipitously bumping into one another, they begin to realize that perhaps there truly is no such thing as coincidence.
Eight Perfect Hours by Lia Louis Review
This new to me author really struck a chord with this delightful story. For me, it started slow. But I was not focused on it either. I was reading in bits and spurts but when I was able to just read, it started flowing beautifully and the story took over.
This author weaves a story that comes from the heart. Featuring two strangers and the complex intersections of their lives, Eight Perfect Hours is about meeting someone that you just know in your heart is someone you should be connected to.
Have you ever met someone you became friends with for life? Maybe there was someone you fell for immediately and knew you could marry and be together forever. That is the deep connection and friendship that was building in this story. But sometimes life gets in the way!
Louis really started to capture me with her intricate weaving of the story; the secrets, the chance meetings, the connections that she built between the two characters. I found the drips and hints along the way kept me engaged and yearning for a fabulous ending and she did not disappoint.
This story brings so many aspects to light that makes it a great choice for a women’s fiction novel with the right amount of romance. It will leave you wondering if there really is such a thing as a chance meeting or a twist of fate.
