It only takes just one weekend...

 ...to turn your life upside down.

Or right-side up.

Welcome to the Love Books Tours book tour for Just One Weekend by Catherine Aitken.

Book Blurb:

A woman in need of change; a reclusive, broken rock star and the city that never sleeps . . . What could possibly go wrong?

Sandy wants adventure. Bored waiting for her husband to give up work so they can travel the world, she jets off to New York with best friend, Isobel, chasing a slice of their youthful dreams at a reunion concert for The Brig – the pop group they fangirled over long past the age they should’ve known better.

But her meticulous sightseeing plans unravel when Isobel’s virtual boyfriend makes a surprise appearance and Sandy is saddled with an inebriated passenger who had made her transatlantic flight a misery. So much for smart suits and first-class upgrades.

Stuck with this stranger - who turns out to be not such a stranger after all - Sandy embarks on a whirlwind weekend zigzagging across New York. As inhibitions fade and heartbreaks surface, the initial animosity between two lost souls gives way to a surprising connection from long ago. Now, Sandy must decide if this unexpected adventure is the one she’s been searching for.

Pattie's Book Review:

I have some thoughts about this book and its plot that might not be popular, and I'm endeavoring to avoid spoilers. While I liked Sandy the planner whose plans are turned sideways, the plot, the characters, and the madcap situations that Sandy and Jake found themselves in, I did not love Sandy the wild child who threw her plans (and an important relationship) away. I felt a bit betrayed by a few of her choices. I mostly understand them, yet I don't agree with them.

I gave the book four stars on Goodreads for the creativity of the plot, the complexity of its characters, and the depth of emotion. I was NOT happy with the failure of a certain relationship (spoilers), and I was not a huge fan of Sandy's reckless side. Nevertheless, the book was well-written and certainly thought-provoking for this "woman of a certain age" reader.

Special thanks to the author, Kelly at Love Books Tours, and the publisher for a digital ebook for review. All thoughts about the book are my own.
