A Way Back Into Love (Love, #1) by Veronica Thatcher – Review by Jenni Bishop

A Way Back Into Love (Love, #1)A Way Back Into Love by Veronica Thatcher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Way Back into Love by Veronica Thatcher is a contemporary romance book and is written in the third person. The book is full of drama as the story revolves around our two main characters Emily Stevens and Derek Thorpe. The two have been best friends since their first day of school but after one drunken night we see Emily moving out of town. Now years later she is returning home and having to confront a past she thought she had put to rest only to realise that things are not always as they seem.

I must say that I was not expecting some of the twists and turns that occurred but the secrets and lies and deceit you will not see coming. Even though the story goes from the present to the past quite frequently you will not have any trouble following it.

I enjoyed the story even though I did find the story a little on the predictable side but you will find that you have to keep reading because you just want to know what is going to happen next and where the story will lead. There were times when I thought the main characters, Emily and Derek were a little naive and immature, and once they got their act together they were fun and sassy and their banter often had me laughing at their antics. I loved how they immediately returned to their easy best friend relationship despite all the hurt and misunderstandings. Parts of the story line surrounding the hospital, I found reminded me a little of one of my favourite TV shows, Grey’s Anatomy.

So if you like a little romance and drama, fun and an easy read then look no further.

A Way Back Into Love is Veronica Thatcher’s debut and the first book in her Love series. It was a great story and great writing for the first book! Who would not love a story of best friends turned lovers even if there is a lot of heartbreak involved … isn’t that what makes the story?!
The story is about Emily Stevens and Derek Thorpe who have been best friends since they first met (since Emily saved Derek’s “bacon”) when they were six years old on their first day of kindergarten. They have been inseparable for fifteen years!
This story is of unspoken feelings and misunderstandings and running away and relationships between parents and their children and … you just name it! It is also about growing up and facing your past and returning home … There is a lot of wreckage to get over, a lot of people impacted by the renewed relationship and I am telling you, it was in no way an easy ride! Be prepared for bowling your eyes out and screaming in frustration and walking away from the book and then coming back and hoping for the best and …
I loved how Veronica used the flashback writing style – it made the story a bit crazy to follow at times BUT at the same time it kept you on your toes and keeping your fingers crossed and every time there was a flashback you went ‘aha, that is what it is …’ I invite you to the lives of Emily and Derek and you will not regret being part of their journey!
