Sharp, romantic, and brimming with nostalgia — I couldn't put it down.

A bittersweet love story that will crack your heart wide open.

By turns achingly romantic, sad, funny, sexy and wise. I feel very lucky to have been one of its first readers.

Is 38 too old for a life without a proper job, kids, a house?
This is the question facing professional photographer, Olivia Clarke, days before moving to Canada with her boyfriend, Graham.
To ease her worries she heads to her favourite bookshop, but there she is shocked to find her first love, Eamonn Murphy, reading from his novel, Wild Waves – a story of lost love.
Theirs.
His book opens with a pact they made 15 years ago in Ireland, which he broke, along with her heart. Or so she believes.
Eamonn, however, thinks Olivia was the one who walked away.
With only 10 days before she leaves for Canada, Olivia faces another impossible choice: read Eamonn’s book and find out what happened. Or move on with Graham before more hearts get broken.
Will Eamonn’s fear of losing people be his downfall again? Or can he figure out what happened before it’s too late?
