Weekends with You - Alexandra Paige
Publication Date: April 9, 2024
She read
Long Islander (NY) Lucy is living in London developing her skill as a florist working in a small two person shop. She loves her job but worries that the business might not make it. When she becomes one of eight twenty somethings sharing a warehouse conversion, she falls for Henry, who is somewhat of an enigma. The problem is Henry travels for his job as a photographer, returning to his room at the warehouse apartments only one weekend a month. He makes clear that in his travels he hopes to find a place to call home as London no longer has anything for him.
The book is well written with some sweet (no pun intended!) aspects and a unique plot line. However, I found the interaction between Lucy and Henry to be very slow moving with no real spark. That I was more interested in the information shared about the flowers and the monthly activities of the Warehouse Weekend than the relationship between the two would be lovers does not bode well for the romance aspect of this romcom. I looked forward to seeing what the group would be exploring on their planned weekends, but I cringed about the interaction between the two main characters. Other than admiring him physically, I couldn’t quite see what Lucy saw in him; he seemed quite emotionless; almost an automaton. But, who can explain attraction to someone even though at heart we know they may not be good for us?
I did like Lucy’s talent, ambition, and business acumen.
