Major Motion Picture Already in Development with Temple Hill Entertainment

One of the Best Books of April for Brit + Co and Liz and Lisa!

Set amidst the breathtaking beauty of Oxford, this sparkling debut novel tells the unforgettable story about a determined young woman eager to make her mark in the world and the handsome man who introduces her to an incredible love that will irrevocably alter her futureâ??perfect for fans of JoJo Moyes and Nicholas Sparks.

American Ella Durran has had the same plan for her life since she was thirteen: Study at Oxford. At 24, she's finally made it to England on a Rhodes Scholarship when she's offered an unbelievable position in a rising political star's presidential campaign. With the promise that she'll work remotely and return to DC at the end of her Oxford year, she's free to enjoy her Once in a Lifetime Experience. That is, until a smart-mouthed local who is too quick with his tongue and his car ruins her shirt and her first day.

When Ella discovers that her English literature course will be taught by none other than that same local, Jamie Davenport, she thinks for the first time that Oxford might not be all she's envisioned. But a late-night drink reveals a connection she wasn't anticipating finding and what begins as a casual fling soon develops into something much more when Ella learns Jamie has a life-changing secret.

Immediately, Ella is faced with a seemingly impossible decision: turn her back on the man she's falling in love with to follow her political dreams or be there for him during a trial neither are truly prepared for. As the end of her year in Oxford rapidly approaches, Ella must decide if the dreams she's always wanted are the same ones she's now yearning for.… (más)

Ella Durran is a Rhodes Scholar and at 24, she heads to Oxford to fulfill a dream she has had since 13. Upon arriving on her first international trip, she heads to a pub for a meal. A car nearly runs her down, and then in the pub, the driver runs into her and ruins her shirt.
Upon arriving in class the next day, the teacher she expected announces that she will not be teaching. The replacement? The driver of the car: Jamie Davenport!
On a night out with friends, Jamie arrives and offers to show her some local sites. They become close and when he reveals a secret to her, she has to make a choice-does she return to the US to pursue her political media career or does she stay with Jamie?
I absolutely loved this story, and the added bonus of Julia Whelan's narration and writing made it top notch! ( )

Oh, sorry, that's just the sound of my heart shATTERING INTO A MILLION PIECES.
THIS BOOK DOESN'T EVEN COME OUT UNTIL APRIL AND I ALREADY NEED A SEQUEL. ( )

Heard about this on a podcast and had high hopes but was completely disappointed. I was not invested in any of the characters so I didn’t care a bit about the challenges they faced. ( )

There was great build up for this scenario--all the groundwork was laid with the romance and the job--and then we kind of skip through six months and all of a sudden are in a different world.

The most fun part of these romances is when one of them says "I like you!" and the other one flips out! Not when one says "I want to be your girlfriend" and the other is like "yeah great." I don't know, I guess I have a certain amount of trust in that honest part, and thus I believe it more when there's more denial of feelings.

I guess I feel a bit jilted by the way this plot went. ( )
