This was a great holiday read. I liked the way that the lives, experiences and searches for love of four different people are woven together. The fact that it was rather predictable didn't really matter; in spite of occasional feelings of frustrations with the characters I still found myself caring what happened to them. If you are looking for an ultimately feel-good read, try this.

Then a great certainty swamped him: it wasn't going to happen. It hit him like a bullet in the guts. Verity Driver walked like a model and was top of her class, and she could sing and she could dance, and she'd only ever looked past him and not at him.
