27 year old Adam, English IT consultant, travels to Australia for work and meets an Australian actress, 23 year old Angelina. They have a 3 month affair. We learn their story when this book is 49 year old Adam back in England in a dying relationship with Claire who gets a text message from Angelina whom he hasn't heard from in 22 years. Can you go back and recreate a lost love? The back story of their first relationship was interesting and told in reflection to lots of old songs (they met when Adam was playing piano in a bar and she joined in with a song). But Part II of the book, present day when Adam and Angelina meet up in France with her husband Charlie, was a little far fetched and well, odd. Part I was romance and sweet reflection. Part II was odd and full of sex. I did like the ending though.
Overall a good book. BUT no where near as good as Simsion's first book, The Rosie Project, and nothing like it at all!
