Jess is ready to find a man. At thirty-four, she is tired of frequent bar trips with bestie Madeleine, each alcohol ridden evening leading to nothing. Her parents are happily married; her older sister Olivia has the perfect life with her amazing husband and young children. Jess is ready for that, ready for the commitment. But she is having some troubles finding a guy- any guy for that matter. Her friends cook up a scheme to sign Jess up for an internet dating site as a birthday present, one that Jess is highly skeptical of. No one can really meet on these sites, can they?
Jess struggles through her dates, not able to find any decent prospects. She is ready to give up on love when she is hit with devastating news- her sister has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Jess’s world goes into a tailspin, filled with family, sickness, doctors, sadness and hope. She needs to find the courage to help her sister fight this disease, and her love life is put on hold while Jess is forced to re-evaluate priorities in her own life.
In a classic case of when you stop looking for love it will find you, Jess meets Ben, who runs a hospice for children with cancer. He helps her stay strong throughout her sister’s treatments, becoming her rock and the love of her life. Love @ First Site by Jane Moore is filled with challenges and vulnerability and is an excellent read with a well designed ending.
