What's it about?
Charlotte ‘Charley’ Southard’s life has hit rock bottom. She
is fired from her job at a top law firm in Calgary, she hasn’t had a lasting
relationship in years and a recent incident with a declined credit card at the
grocery store has just brought her over the edge.
Charley just knows that everything was better when she was with Drew, the popular football player she dated for two years back at university. All her troubles began when they broke up after graduation. So with the help of her best friends, Josh and Heather, Charley sets out to track down the old boyfriend from her past.
But what if Drew is married? What if he doesn’t remember her? And just how far will she have to go to find the love of her life? Not to mention, what if he’s not the Prince Charming she remembers?
In a fast trip to Victoria, British Columbia, Charley Southard discovers the truth about "the one that got away," along with realizing a few unexpected things about herself in the process.

It's a great book, getting awesome reviews so far and I really hope you read it and tell your friends! Here's what some people are saying:
"I truly enjoyed this book and hope it does well. Whitney Boyd is a talented
writer with a gift of making the unbelievable come to life. She has a confident
style and you fall easily into her expert storytelling." - Amy Saia
"This was the third book by Whitney Boyd I've read and it is my
favourite! So funny, thoughtful and entertaining, it made me laugh out loud and
at the end I even cried. This is a romantic comedy I would recommend to
everyone! The one that got away is such a relevant theme... every woman out
there needs to read this! " - DJK
"I'm a huge fan of Boyd's writing. Her style is witty and fun, while possessing a
smooth, seamless, quality. Essentially, melted Dove chocolate for the eyes. If
you're looking for a fun, light read, that is well-written and laugh-out-loud
funny, with a most heartwarming ending, then this is the chick-lit novel for you." - Julie Ford
"Love this book!!!! The story was so relateable... fate and destiny and trying to
correct the past. I liked how real Charley was, esoecially how she changed and
grew. And I absolutely loved the ending. Beautiful and perfect!" - Wendy James
Finally, just a small note about this. The kindle version was released a week ago but for some reason there was an issue with the format on Amazon and only about 2/3 of the book downloaded. Amazon has since fixed this problem, but anyone who read this book right when it came out would have found that it cut off abruptly. Please note that this issue is fixed and that Amazon has placed a corrected version on your kindle devices. Sorry for this inconvenience!
So... spread the word! Tell a friend, buy a Christmas gift (it gets free shipping on Amazon!) and help me get the word out! Love you all!
