From The Book Junkie Reads . . . I Wish I'd Never Met You
What got me going was the idea behind what drives people to do what
they do. Do they even consider the other person? Do they care what heartache
they are unleashing? Do any of the things that concern another have any impact
on the choice to move forward and drop that final blow?
This quick read is told from Flick’s standpoint in a third person. I
was driven to find the answers to my questions. I was held by the writing. It’s
a quickie that pulls you in. It’s up to you to stay and finish the ride.
Promising work.

Flick Lindenwood, fresh from college,
has returned home to the suburban haven of Green Valley, back to society…and
the source of her heartbreak. Four years ago Elodie Hamilton savagely broke her
heart, and Flick has no intention of letting her pretty ex get back under her
skin. As far as she’s concerned, she and Elodie never happened.
But Elodie has other ideas.
Afraid to come out, Elodie chose to
destroy her relationship with Flick rather than let her family know who she
was. But now she wants to right the wrong she did—if she can only find the
nerve, and if she can convince Flick to see past the pain she caused.
The door of the Dodge
Charger slammed behind her as Flick Lindenwood walked up the driveway to the
house, dragging her wheeled suitcase after her.
It was exactly as she
remembered. Pansies and tulips bloomed in the borders of the front garden,
edging an elegantly mown lawn. In front of her stood the house, two stories
rising behind a large veranda, a curtain twitching in one of the windows.
Before she reached
the front door, it opened to reveal her mother. Flick let the handle of the
case go and stepped forward to meet her in a hug.
“Felicity, darling! We’ve
been waiting all morning.”
“Sorry, Mom.
Traffic.”
Her mother stepped
back, smiling, and looked her up and down. Flick bore the scrutiny patiently.
She had a new haircut and outfit which had yet to receive maternal approval.
Apparently they did.
Her mother pulled her back in for another hug. “You look lovely, darling. Oh,
it’s so good to see you. I’ve got so many things to tell you—I’ve been
organizing your graduation party, and then there’s the Saulters’ barbecue
tomorrow, and—”
“All right, all
right!” Flick broke in, laughing. “Let me get in first!”
She followed her
mother into the entrance hall, noticing that the lounge door was open on her
left. Through the doorway she could see her graduation photograph taking pride
of place on the marble mantelpiece, blocking off part of the gold-edged mirror.
“Don’t be long,” Mrs.
Lindenwood added airily as Flick made her way toward the staircase. “I want to
hear everything. Have you met any nice girls?”
