if only you set yourself free to find it. But what we can all learn from Lucy is that life is short, self-worth is important, and a happy ever after is probably closer than you think. They succumb to a blah life and accept that true happiness is nothing but a crazy dream. Far too often, people get stuck in a situation and can't, or won't, recognize the way out. Instead, she steps out on faith in hopes of landing her happy ever after. She's brave and doesn't let the myth of a "Seven-Year Itch" keep her from what she knows will bring her the greatest joy ever. I believe Lucy is an inspiration for women who are stuck in a rut, or have accepted the status quo just because that's what life's supposed to be, or what they're supposed to do. A couple fighting the odds for a love that most rarely find, or rather rarely allow themselves to find. And let me not neglect the epic love story that she tells, two people destined to be together, despite less than desirable circumstances. Lyndsey has brought raw and realistic emotion into every sentence, almost as if I was reading her personal diary. ![]() At many times, I found myself falling into John and Lucy's love story, almost as if I were there to witness it all. OVERALL THOUGHTS: Great characters and an engaging storyline all set within a gorgeous Irish location ☘️ With complex yet lovely characters and a thought provoking storyline, The Seven Year Itch was a great read from beginning to end. Lucy spends most of the book punishing herself for how quickly she entered into a new relationship so soon after her divorce, which added depth to both the story and her character. With Lucy dealing with the breakdown of her marriage, and John entering into his first serious relationship, these pair together experience the highs and lows of love at first sight. Whereas Lucy is the type of person that has to have control over every situation, John was your typical laid back Irishman who took everything in his stride. John and Lucy were great characters and complimented each other brilliantly. the only problem is that she’s already married. ![]() Our heroine Lucy is on a hen do when she meets the love of her life. The Seven Year Itch is a story that delves into the intricacies of relationships, marriage and love at first sight. If you feel your relationship is stagnant or boring, look around at your life as a whole. If you feel the itch to leave your relationship as you near seven years, ask yourself if you are itching for a change in general. I still get that giddy feeling when an author approaches me, and I don’t think that will ever change. Ask yourself if your marriage is really the thing making you feel stuck or listless. When Lyndsey Gallagher messaged me to ask if I would like to read her book, I jumped at the chance.
