Blog Tour - Our Life in a Day by Jamie Fewery

Today I am taking part in the blog tour to celebrate the publication of Jamie Fewery's 'Our Life in a Day'. 



41878858Our Life in a Day is a breathtaking, ten-year love story told in twenty-four individual hours - for fans of One Day by David Nicholls, The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky, and The Note by Zoe Folbigg.

The rules are simple. Choose the most significant moments from your relationship - one for each hour in the day.
You'd probably pick when you first met, right?
And the instant you knew for sure it was love?
Maybe even the time you watched the sunrise after your first night together?

But what about the car journey on the holiday where everything started to go wrong?
Or your first proper fight?

Or that time you lied about where you'd been?

It's a once in a lifetime chance to learn the truth. But if you had to be completely honest with the one you love, would you still play?

For Esme and Tom, the game is about to begin. And once they start, there's no going back . . .


'Our Life in a Day'  is an honest and believable story of two people who fall in love and the journey that their relationship takes. Esme and Tome are celebrating their ten year anniversary and look back over the years at their relationship. 

I really enjoyed 'Our Life in a Day'. It is a very clever concept which looks at a couple's relationship, cherry picking the highlights and significant events of the relationship and celebrating them. It recognises both the highs and lows and the range of emotions felt during them.

The story is about their relationship but is not a simple love story, it is a no holes bared look at their time together and is not only a 'happily ever after tale'. it is for this reason that I really enjoyed it. It stands out from many of the other books on the market at the moment. 

I look forward to reading more from Jamie Fewery in the future.  

Thank you to the publishers, , and to Compulsive Readers for inviting me to take part in the blog tour and for a copy of the book in return for an honest review.
