I Remember You by Harriet Evans

Tess Tennant makes a drastic decision when she moves from London back to her quaint hometown of Langford. After living 12 years in the fast paced town of London, Tess loses her job and her boyfriend, and decides to hightail it back home. She secures a job as a classics professor, and quickly finds another London transplant to room with her. Tess’s bests and oldest friend, Adam, still lives in Langford, and their friendship quickly becomes strong once again after Tess moves back. Friends since their childhood, Tess and Adam have survived many tests of friendships. But now, after years living in different cities, they are forced to deal with the situation that almost tore their tight bond apart.
I Remember You by Harriet Evans is a breathtaking read of friendship and love, filled with many surprises and twists along the way. Each time I thought I figured out the plot, another loophole was thrown in to knock me off balance. Evan’s writing is fun yet emotional, and though I thought the story started off a bit too slow, the characters easily overpowered me and pulled me into their lives. With so many supporting characters- Tess’s London roommate, the elderly and cruel town villain, and the American heartthrob Tess falls for in Rome, it is near impossible not to fall in love with this novel.
