‘You will fall for Noah and Lucy . . . this is one of those stories that will capture your attention and not let it go’ Reader review ????? ‘I couldn’t get enough of this story’ Reader review ????? 29th February 2000. Lucy’s never met another leapling until she encounters Noah also spending his once-in-four-years birthday on a disappointing day trip to Calais. There’s a spark that Lucy is sure Noah must feel too, and their friends insist they have amazing chemistry, but they’re both with other people. It can never be more than platonic and that’s OK. Over the next twenty years, they’re at each other’s side through all of life’s big moments – weddings, babies, new jobs, family illness – but Lucy can never shake the feeling that they were meant to meet. . . If Lucy is to find a love that’s rarer than a leap year, she’s going to have to take a leap of faith. In this wholesome, contemporary novel, Lucy and Noah's story unfolds with a comedic touch, making their journey a clean, romantic comedy. Their platonic relationship, despite the undeniable chemistry, adds a unique twist to the narrative.
