Vince and Joy

by Lisa Jewell

Vince and Joy Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Remember falling in love for the first time? Remember thinking, This is The One? Remember life getting in the way? From adolescent snogging to apartment shares, relationships, career crises, and children, Vince & Joy is the unforgettable story of two lives lived separately but forever entwined.

Back in the 1980s, teenagers Vince and Joy met, fell desperately in love, and never quite said good-bye. Now nearly twenty years later they've both begun to ask themselves if that long-ago romance was the enduring love that they've been searching for.

Review:

"[H]igh on Britspeak and local flavor, which may appeal to some readers but confuse others." Library Journal

Review:

"Can Jewell sustain 500 pages of suspense until our lovers reconnect? Can a reader survive this much romantic pudding? Oh, yeah. With wit and well-rendered characters, the author fills her story with keen observations about real life and the possibility of real love." Kirkus Reviews
