About this deal

I had very high hopes for this book as it has been touted as the new ‘One Day’ (a book I love with unfettered passion). Of course, no book is the new ‘One Day,’ nor should it be because no one wants to read the same story over and over again. It is, however, an entirely fabulous book that will speak to the hearts of people who loved ‘One Day,’ as it did to me.

The characters are strong, relatable and I loved Becca and Charlie. They left a special place in my heart. First, I loved the format. Each year has one or two sections where you either follow Becca and Charlie in their lives or together completing the tasks. This gave room for me to be excited or anxious to see how their lives had changed. And man did I get anxious! You can tell pretty early in how suited they actually are for each other which makes them moving on with their lives so hard to read. But that’s some of my favorite kind of readers anxiety.

Over the course of ten years, Becca and Charlie’s paths collide as they deal with grief, love and life after Ally. Not since Emma and Dex in One Day and Will and Lou in Me Before You will you root for a couple as much.Previously her writing has been printed in The Sunday Times and the fabulous SUNLOUNGER summer anthologies.

An absolute joy...Laugh out loud funny in places and desperately poignant in others but thankfully not in the least bit soppy' Sarah Charlie and Becca both love Ally - Charlie as a fiancée, Becca as best friend of many years - and her death, at a heartbreakingly young age, leaves them bereft. What it doesn't do is bring them closer together - they quite convincingly don't get on. However, over a period of years, they are forced by a task set by Ally to spend time together around once a year (this structure reminded me a bit of One Day, though it's a long time since I read that). Meanwhile, life goes on and work and relationships change and evolve around them. We know they're going to end up, somehow, together - but getting there makes for an excellent read. I unequivocally LOVED this book…for anyone who loves a romance that isn't twee or cookie cutter, with an impossibly perfect heroine’ Fiona Given their mutual enmnity, the pair decide to space out the activities to one per year. Ally - forever the planner and organiser, was the glue that held them together after they all met at university.

With so much animosity between them, and so many unexpected twists and turns, I could not work out if or when Becca and Charlie would finally hit it off. These two were sizzling, in so many ways. I also really liked Becca and Charlie. They are flawed and can’t see it. But they can see it in each other which makes for some high drama. The tasks that they need ti perform always put them at odds. Becca was also hilarious. I received a digital ARC from Harper 360, One More Chapter via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. The big question: Do they share enough besides their love of Ally to become a couple? Can enemies ever really fall in love? About the Book ‘Some days I feel like I’ve lived more than one lifetime, so, couldn’t we be right for each other this time around?’

I won't spoil any of the storyline but if you're looking for a romantic story that is based on something a little unusual, give this a read! At times I wanted to grab Becca and Charlie's shoulders and talk some sense in to them. Thank goodness it took no more than ten years for them to see what is clearly in front of one another (as I wouldn't haven't been able to hold out much longer knowing they could go one more second apart from each other).An absolute joy… Laugh out loud funny in places and desperately poignant in others but thankfully not in the least bit soppy’ Sarah I’ve been waiting ages to read this book so I am delighted to be taking part in the blog tour today for Ten Years by Pernille Hughes. My thanks to Rachel Gilbey of Rachel’s Random Resources for inviting me to take part in the tour and to the publisher for providing me with a digital copy of the book for the purposes of review. I have reviewed the book honestly and impartially. Hughes weaves together a very slow burn romance, as the enmity gives way to a tenuous detente, then friendship, before love - one which Becca continues to push away out of guilt and can't let go of her pride to see Charlie is the man for her. Such a warm, lovely read with two characters you're desperately rooting for' Cesca Major, author of Maybe Next Time some days i feel i've lived more than one lifetime, so couldn't we be right for each other this time around?"

In between tears and smiles as I read, I also had proper heart flutters… The sign of seriously good story telling’ Jules Wake I think the only issue I found with the book is that it is written in British vernacular. There were times when I was lost at a reference or implication. However, it wasn't enough to deter reading it.Having hated each other from the first moment at "uni" to seeing Becca and Charlie's ups and downs in life and with each other, we see how grief can affect people long after their loved ones are gone. There’s some really tender moments which show the softer and vulnerable side of both Becca and Charlie. This was a interesting book. I really enjoyed the way the time line jumped through. Where you still got both characters updates but you kind of jumped through their lives. It was really interesting to watch the character growth between each chapter. I went in knowing this would be the usual enemies to falling in love story. However, the characters in my opinion had such growth over the course of the story. I enjoyed seeing their growth and finding their way to each other. It's a total belter... I loved the slow burn and just the warmth and funniness of the writing. Was gagging for them to get it together' Kirsty Greenwood, author of Big Sexy Love
