Lucy in the Sky by Paige Toon
4.0
Lucy is about to fly back to Australia, the place she called home until she was in her late teens. Heading back for the wedding of her two best friends she is excited to be seeing them again, although she did have a crush on Sam when she was a teenager. As she is about to put her phone away on the plane she receives a text from her boyfriend James who isn’t able to make the trip with her. Suddenly her world comes crashing down and she is left unable to contact him to find out what is going on for the next few hours.
James puts the text down to a childish prank by one of his workmates and Lucy attempts to push it out of her mind. However, she keeps thinking about all the silly white lies that James has said over the course of their relationship and she’s not sure whether to trust him or not – especially whilst she is away in Australia for a couple of weeks.
Reunited with Molly and Sam she is starting to feel back at home when Sam’s younger brother Nathan comes over and suddenly Lucy is feeling all jittery at the sight of him. The more time she spends with Nathan the easier it is to talk to him, joining him for surfing and getting drunk together. But it can’t lead to anything, can it?
Whilst I enjoyed the story, I did feel it was a little hypocritical of Lucy to be judging James for ‘cheating’ when she was lusting after Nathan whilst she was in Australia.
