I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of immersing myself in this modern Romeo and Juliet love story, of Aidan and and Iona. The story is set in the summer of 2016, in the context of the Brexit referendum result, the Euros, the Olympics, and A level results. Aidan and Iona share a birthday, April 10th, 1998, the day of the Good Friday agreement, but little else. They have different church allegiances, political identities, sporting cultures, family histories, holiday destinations, and live in different areas of a city, which can't even agree on its name. The novel bursts into life through Iona being a witness to Aidan being brutally assaulted, after a drunken crossing of the Peace Bridge, on the night he finished his A Levels.Sue has been able to harness her experience of teaching history, and working in community relations in the Maiden City, to explore a wide variety of themes including, love, sexual attraction, domestic violence, intergenerational trauma, addiction, sectarianism, faith, redemption, and grief. Using witty realistic dialogue, as Iona and Aidan share the story telling duties, Sue introduces us to a wide variety of supporting characters, Theresa the fussy aunt, Paddy the Painter, Nan the doting but perceptive Granny, Adam the courageous loyalist bandsman, John the concerned policeman, Sean the disturbed brother, Mr Scott, the protective father, Daithi, the Franciscan spiritual director, Mr O’Suilleabhain, the supportive teacher, and Saoirse, the loving sister. Each character is given the space to evolve way beyond the stereotype.Finally a warning, either read, “Guard your heart”, when you have lots of time, for you will not want to put it down, or be prepared to exercise great discipline, in order to drag out the enjoyable reading experience. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Page turning story with some important issues at its core *by J***P on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 May 2021* This book develops into a real page turner as the relationship between Aidan and Iona grows. The familiar themes of forbidden love are given a brilliant freshness through the backdrop of post-troubles Derry. The coming-of-age angst is thrown into stark focus through the prism of divided societies that are trying to heal, but with so many barriers still to be addressed that the past casts a long shadow over the future. There is a deep understanding of the complexities of life in Northern Ireland but it used to complement the deep human interest story of the main characters. The troubles device never overshadows the love story at the heart of this book and I ended up caring about the characters and the place by the end. This book taught me and entertained me in equal measure and I hope that we hear a lot more from Sue Divin in the future. A very accomplished debut. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A compulsive read. *by E***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 April 2021* What a brilliant read! It’s right up there with some of my favourite books. So much more than a love story or a book about the legacy of the troubles or a book for young people - I’m 72. There are so many layers. Like others I read it in a couple of days. Just couldn’t put it down. Can’t wait for the next one.
