When it’s impossible to forget is it possible to forgive? Jennifer is stuck doing dead-end waitressing jobs, her naïve dream of Hollywood stardom in tatters. Gareth, an IT consultant on a temporary contract, is the unlikely customer at Giulio’s Diner in the downbeat part of Los Angeles where she is now working.
It shouldn’t be a perfect match, the attractive, outgoing waitress from Idaho and the shy, good-looker from Wales, but when it comes to relationships nothing is predictable, is it?
They move from state to state and when Gareth’s work in America dries up Jennifer follows him to Britain. Everything changes. What is she supposed to do when she discovers that she’s been fed a pack of lies?
Now living alone in Muswell Hill, Jennifer is a regular at the popular Dream Café with a great job and a lovely set of friends, but it’s impossible to cast aside the wonderful memories of her time together with Gareth.
Were his lies justified? Are they forgivable? And most importantly, should she be giving Gareth the second chance he so desperately wants?
The American Woman is Richards’s ninth novel and is set within his dream cafe world series, but it’s also the perfect standalone novel.
The story jumps between past and present, which in many stories can be confusing but Richards’s clear and easy writing style gives the story lots of depth and helps you really get to know the characters.
It’s the perfect book for getting lost in and curling up on the sofa with as it’s very hard to put down once you start reading.
