Settling down for a twenty-four-hour flight to Australia, Lucy finds a text message on her phone from a woman claiming to have slept with her boyfriend, James, four times in the past month. Trapped above the Pacific, she questions everything about their relationship, but when she finally calls James, he reassures her that it was only his friend playing a joke.
James is gorgeous and successful and Lucy adores him, yet at her best friend Molly's wedding in Sydney she finds herself having doubts —and finds herself eying Molly's handsome brother-in-law Nathan? Nathan is a happy-go-lucky surfer boy with no prospects, no place to live, and an almost-girlfriend in tow.
Suddenly Lucy finds herself caught between two distant continents and two very different men.

"Really liked her first book and its setting and how she portraied the really hard decision the main character had to make and how love sometimes blindes you for reality. Not as good as "chasing Daisy", but still pretty awesome. "
— Anna-lena (4 out of 5 stars)
“Charming and romantic. Real old-school chick-lit, like they used to make in the old days.”
— Lisa Jewell“A fun read—pack it with your bikini!”

— Joyce, 10/16/2010" Der Australienpart war gut, aber dann zog sich das Buch doch ziemlich in die Länge. Lucy Zögern ging mir reichlich auf die Nerven, zumal dem Leser schnell klar ist, dass James ein Mistkerl ist. <br/>Vielleicht sollte ich dieses Buch meiner Kollegin geben, die in einer ähnlichen Situation ist. "
— Nefret, 10/9/2010" This book is easy to read for me. <br/>If I could understand the jokes that Lucy and Nathan had talked, <br/>I think i could enjoy this book much more. <br/> "
