Luke and Lily have a love that is breathtaking. After both having had difficult past, Luke losing his girlfriend in a tragic accident; and Lily's fiancée cheating on her with her sister, they both deserved the love they gave each other. Luke only has eyes for Lilly and she is the love of his life. Nothing can tear them apart until past pain comes back and causes Luke to become unrecognizable. Grief causes him to do and say things he doesn't mean, but will it be too late to undo the damage he has caused?Lily has been through so much and wants to protect her heart. She is beyond hurt and angry and she pushes Luke away again and again. She feels like she has to do this to protect him because only bad things come from her. Her stubbornness knows no bounds but it is no match for fate.I could not put this book down! Sandi pulled me in and I felt every raw emotion each character felt. My anxiety level was through the roof wanting things to be alright between Luke and Lily. I love how the story ended and we were all able to see the upside of love! Wow! That was a roller coaster ride, after reading one or two of the teasers, I guess we were in for an emotional ride.Talk about easing us in gently, then bam! That was hard.I thought that it was lovely that we got a glimpse of Ian and Rory, and admittedly I didn't place them immediately! then wondered if we were going to 'bump' into the Blacks.Totally understood where Lily was coming from, once the whole story played out, sort of like having that all important ah ah moment.It was difficult to read at time, wanting them both to be so happy and hoping that it was not going to be final.Their so called friends! had me chuckling, so naughty! but they had their hearts in the right places.It took Luke quicker to realise what he did was so very wrong, and felt for him every step of the way. Lily thought that she did everything she thought was the right thing to do, and it took one very serious conversation for her to make sense of everything that was going on.Everything happens for a reason, I was so glad that they made it to New York, such lovely heart warming scenes.
What do You think about The Upside Of Love (2000)?
Liked hearing the end of Luke and Lily's story. He was a BIG arse but it turned out ok.
