Lucy in the Sky

by Paige Toon

Settling down for a 24-hour flight to Australia, Lucy finds a text message on her phone - from a woman claiming to have slept with her boyfriend James. Trapped on the plane, Lucy questions everything about her relationship, but when she finally calls James he reassures her: it was only his mates playing a silly joke.

So why, at the wedding in Sydney of her best friend Molly, does Lucy have niggling doubts, and find herself attracted to Molly's brother-in-law Nathan? Nathan is a happy-go-lucky surfer boy, with no prospects, no place to live, an almost-girlfriend in tow.

Soon Lucy is caught between two distant continents - and two very different men ...

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I first read this book many many years ago on holiday in Corfu. I haven't read it since but Lucy and Nathan always stayed with me and when I saw that 2 other bloggers I know were re-reading all of Paige's books before the new one comes out in a few months time I thought I would try to join in. (I am failing badly)

The beginning of this book still gets me. To get a text like that as you get on a long haul flight would be awful! As the beginning of a book goes it is pretty gripping! I still hate James. Oh, what a manipulating two-timing Ahole!

Lucy is such a good character. She wants to believe the best in people and is always looking for the fun in life. Lucy is also insecure. She has some real tough decisions to make and struggles with them throughout the book. Lucy doesn't know whether to listen to her head or her heart and the constant war between the two causes some difficult moments for her.

Nathan is still one of my favourite characters. After James, he is just such a breath of fresh air. He is fun and silly. I love the jokes that they share.

There was quite a lot of this book that I had forgotten so it was lovely to re-read this and I am looking forward to trying to re-read the rest of Paige's books.
