I had heard a lot of good things about Claudia Carroll’s
books, so I was keen to read her latest novel ‘A Very Accidental Love Story’.
Eloise Elliott is a high flying career woman, she is editor
of the ‘Post’ where staff are terrified of her and the board refer to her as
Madame Editrix. At thirty, she is one of the youngest newspaper editors in the
country and works all hours. However, when virtually no one turns up to
celebrate her thirtieth birthday, Eloise realizes that she has sacrificed
everything for her job. She decides that her life needs to change and has a
baby.
Three years on and Eloise is frantically trying to balance
everything. She loves her daughter Lily, but realizes that she has a lot of
questions to answer when Lily starts asking who and where her Daddy is. What
follows is a determined and heartwarming journey to track down Lily’s real
father. There are quite a few hilarious moments as Eloise uses her journalistic
skills to work out who he might be and where he could be.
Eloise is a fascinating character. At first, I felt that she
was a little selfish as she was always working and hardly spending anytime with
her daughter. However, by the end of the book my mind had totally changed and I
admired her for all of the sacrifices that she had made. Seth is a great
character and again, he has totally transformed by the end of the book.
I loved this story, the characters really change and grow
over the course of the novel. Carroll’s writing draws the reader right into the
story making it an addictive read for me.
The cover is gorgeous too!
Thank you to Avon for
sending me a copy to review.
