Perfect Slow burn

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2023

Verified Purchase

Friends to lovers, mutual pining and slow burn are all my favorite tropes so this book checked all the right marks for me. The characters living through and dealing with real life events helped bring me into the story but the real life events could be triggering for some readers so definitely pay attention to the dates.

I love Sarra’s writing. She has such a knack for perfect tension, wit, and charm. This one required a bit of skimming through the unnecessarily wordy parts, but it is all good in the end.

So Much To Take In

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2023

Verified Purchase

I feel like if you cut a chunk of the main characters describing how to get around London by bus or tube out, you'd get at least half of this book. It was so long and drawn out and to be perfectly honest I was rooting for Jennifer and Nick to not get together. They were so unbelievably toxic it was horrible. I also felt completely slighted not getting any confirmation about what happened to Priya. I was not expecting 2, nearly 3, tragic events to take place in one book. None of which actually needed to be in here to advance the plot if I'm being honest.
What I did appreciate is Jennifer/Jen/Jenny's massive character growth. She was a little stink bug as a young adult and I desperately wanted someone to smack her for being so rude. But as the years went by she truly showed necessary growth, outside of her harboring a 15+ year crush on her best friend, that was just ridiculous.
I've read Mannings books before and they're really all just super drawn out, English people have a knack for describing everything around them while giving unnecessary backstory to every crack in the wall or crooked poster they pass. I won't deny her quest to tell a story though.

This is a five-star love letter to your soul

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2022

This is a five-star love letter to your soul. If you have lived through any of the major events of this story or been to the stations this story will speak to you. This story pulls you in and makes you sob your heart out in moments that will wreck your heart. You will have flashes of moments of your life, and how you felt, where you where and what you did next at so many points in this. This is easily the best book I will read this year, as its not only about Jenny and Nick, or even London itself, as that feels like the third person in the relationship at times. I love how this whole thing had your emotions running so high, and so consistently hooked into the story that you can’t stop reading. You need to know which stop will be next, what part will be revealed, who will end up happy in the end? I have read a few stories by this author, but honestly this one surpassed the rest, it just spoke to my soul.

I wanted to like this book

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2022

Verified Purchase

The big tension in the book is not the love story, it is whether to take the bus or the tube. I think every chapter contains a long boring description of London's public transportation. Here is one example "It would be an easy journey for Michael once the train arrived. One stop to London Bridge, then he could switch from the mainline rail to the tube and it was only a few stops to Angel on the Northern Line. Whereas Jenny needed to head back to Charing Cross, then take the Bakerloo Line to Oxford Street so she could change to the Central Line and it was still four or five stops until she's reach Notting Hill" It really drags the book down and makes it really boring.

epic story about growing up, friendships, family, love, and life

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 28, 2022

Verified Purchase

‘What defined you wasn’t the thing that had made you falter and fall. What defined you was the way you got back up, put one foot in front of the other, and kept on walking.’

We absolutely love Sarra Manning, her books are always something incredibly special with real and flawed characters that feel like people you know, in a setting you can relate to. London, With Love, is an epic story about growing up, friendships, family, love, and life. It’s a story of missed chances and following your dreams. Written in the third person, which is not our favourite, we struggled for a moment or two in the beginning, but we knew this book was going to be something incredibly special, so we persevered, and we’re glad we did. This Author in many ways created something that felt so close to our hearts, with a trip down memory lane set in a city we’re so familiar with. It felt sentimental, it brought our own memories to the forefront of our minds, and we felt as if we knew Jen and Nick as we wholeheartedly felt as if we were entwined in their story. What a magnificent talent it is to write a book that speaks to a reader’s heart in this immeasurable way.

‘He’d seen the best of her, the absolute worst of her. She’d loved him. She’d hated him…’

Starting off in 1986, we follow Jen as she moves through life up until present day with everything and everyone in between. What a poignant, emotional, melancholy, and surprising journey it was. A journey that follows the tube map of London with a detour to New York City, a place marked with poignancy and factual moments of horrific tragedies to highlight the depth of the connection between two people whose stars aren’t quite aligned yet whose souls forged at the tender age of sixteen.

‘But what if? But what if I told him that I loved him? But what if he came to get me and take me away?’

We first meet Jen when she starts at a new college to begin her A Levels, desperate to truly find herself whilst retaining her own individuality. Being a bit of a loner and a victim of bullying, Jen is desperate for friendships and experiences. A book worm at heart, music is her passion, and her heart undoubtedly belongs to the mysterious and pretentious boy in her English class, Nick. The ups and downs of friendships, the pitfalls of a secret crush on a boy who becomes her best friend. It’s all very intense and heavy in emotion and teenage angst. We remember those years!

‘One kiss, one kiss to wipe away the bitter memories of their first kiss and their second kiss. Third time was the charm. One kiss, a last kiss, couldn’t hurt.’

Timings are everything, and who or what decides when the timing is right? Sometimes we need to experience and grow. Sometimes it’s just simply, sod’s law. Sometimes you get a taste of what you want but it’s just outside your grasp. It’s frustrating, it’s heartbreaking and it’s plain unfair. However, sometimes it happens like that for a reason, as once the timing is perfect, it makes it so incredibly special, it’s worth all the pain and tears to finally…. finally, be where you’ve always needed and wanted to be.

“I miss us…I miss being a teenager and how I got to spend hours hanging out with the person I liked the best. Hours, Jen, when we just listened to music and talked and talked.”

London, With Love is a magnificent novel. One that burrowed deep within our hearts. It is not a pretty romance or an easy-to-read romance, however, it felt like we were climbing a mountain, through rough arduous terrain, into the dark clouds hoping the sun was shining at the top for us to revel in the beauty of momentous clarity in all its wonderful splendour. And we did, and you couldn’t have knocked the smiles off our faces or steadied the beat of our hearts. Sarra Manning is a wonderful writer and once again we fell in love. If done right, this would make a beautiful film of nostalgia and true enduring love!

A book for nostalgia lovers

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 20, 2022

Verified Purchase

So, I've just read this book and I think it is perfect for those of us who are around 50 and love the nostalgia of popular culture from the 80s through to the 00s.
The story concerns a group of school friends who go through their teenage years and fall out, get back together again, fall out etc. Not only does the book talk about personal relationships but it also sets the stories against the backdrop of the time.
I also liked it because it reminded me of times spent in London, and every chapter mentions and begins at a tube station.
The main character is a girl called Jen and we share in her reading and music, although she is mainly into Indie pop. @not really my scene).
The book is warm although it gets a bit acidic at times. I enjoyed although I did feel it could have been edited better as there are some characters and events we hear about and their story does not get explained, and it left me with some unanswerethisd questions. I enjoyed this book and I rate it 4 stars.

Even better for its absolute accuracy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 19, 2022

Verified Purchase

Aside from being simply an articulate and very entertaining romance novel, my main reason for posting is to commend Sarra Manning on the complete authenticity of her work.

Every moment of the 1986 North London setting matches my own timeline and memories of the area. I could tell you the likely names of the streets her characters live on, the names of the doctors treating them, the shop she worked in and agree on the merits of the 240 versus 221 scenic route to the station.

That’s just how good the writing and research are, and you can trust every other element of London life over the period. It is this which marks her work out as such a superior achievement and made it such an enjoyable nostalgia-fest for this reader.

Quick postscript: Rather pleased Ms Manning left out the outrageous dinosaur outside the “Happy Eater,” which was a mercy. Would have been a highlight if either the twins or Nick and his friends had decided to take fictional care of that particular matter (as we local teens forever plotted), I guess!

Mixed feelings

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 16, 2022

Verified Purchase

This novel begins in the 80s and the best thing about it is the absolutely spot-on descriptions of how we dressed, felt and behaved (the heroine is a couple of years younger than me). I really enjoyed this aspect of the novel and cringed in recognition several times. I also loved the Londonness of it - the horror a north London person feels when obliged to drag herself to New Cross - why the hell would anyone live in New Cross? But, but, but… There are several world events that are used to structure the book, and while some of them are London-related and feel earned in terms of the narrative, one of them really doesn’t - it is shoehorned in in what feels like a really artificial way, especially as a minor character from early on makes a sudden reappearance only so they can perish (I assume - it isn’t made 100% clear) in a really obvious and clunky way. This felt a bit forced, but my main issue with the novel was the hero - he was a bit of a jerk throughout, and I just did not warm to him or feel that he ever became someone who would given the heroine a proper HEA. So overall I found this novel unsatisfactory as a romance.
