Realizing she's got a job that doesn't suit her and a suitor who doesn't do the job, Lucy makes the bold decision to spend New Year's Eve in Scotland, away from family and friends. But on the way back home, she finds herself snowbound at the airport and forced to share a ride with a handsome stranger. Normally, she's not the sort of girl to pick up a stranger, much less sleep with him-but this is a moment out of time and place and Lucy goes for it.

Back in London, just as Lucy decides to put this little secret adventure behind her, she encounters something shocking. Namely, a brightly-colored train-station poster asking "Lucy Blue, where are you?"

And thus begins a journey that just might make Lucy see her chance meeting as the chance of a lifetime...

4.0 out of 5 stars fun English chick lit, January 5, 2007

This review is from: Lucy Blue, Where Are You? (Mass Market Paperback)

In London Lucy Blue decides she needs a new life as her job is no fun, her family is drowning her, and her boyfriend Teddy is definitely not for her. She breaks off with Teddy and takes off for a New Year's Eve mini vacation away from friends and family in Scotland mostly to reflect introspectively.

However, on the way home, a snowstorm grounds all flights leaving Lucy stranded in Scotland. She accepts an estimated fourteen hour drive with a stranger willing to take her with him to London. To Lucy this is extraordinary as she never goes anywhere with strangers let alone sleep with one, but she did. Back in London she assumes her one night stand is her secret as she plans to return to her rut except for Teddy until she sees the shocking train-station poster: "Lucy Blue, Where Are You?" Should she or should she not is the question.

This is a fun English chick lit tale starring a confused lead female struggling with a life that is tedious. Lucy Blue is a fascinating protagonist though her musings seem real as she vacillates but that also feels overly long when reading as her inner introspection slows down the plot. Still this is a solid look at a young woman pondering whether to take chances in order to bring excitement into what she deems is a dull life sentence of ennui.
