When Crossed Wires by Rosie Thornton landed on my doormat I thought it looked like the perfect book to accompany me on my week at the beach – and I wasn’t wrong. Once I picked up this unique and funny novel I couldn’t put it down! The lighthearted tale of two strangers looking for love sums up the trials and tribulations of single parenthood and shows how easy it is to assume you know what someone is thinking when really you don’t have a clue!

Peter and Mina ‘meet’ when Peter manages to crash his car into a tree stump and calls the insurance company where Mina works to report the damage. Over a period of months they strike up a telephone relationship, sharing the details of their daily lives while never having met in person.

This novel is heartwarming and funny at the same time – I found myself sighing one minute and laughing out loud the next. One of my favourite scenes was where Peter’s children recount the tale of how they play table tennis with the baby sitter – but because she’s so much older than them she has to play with a saucepan instead of a bat

If you’re looking for a great novel to escape in, with believable and likable characters, a bit of romance and a not so predictable ending then you should definitely read Crossed Wires by Rosie Thornton.
