A Late Summer Night's Dream by Eleanor Harkstead & Catherine Curzon
A Late Summer Night's Dream is the delightful story of a young man working on his P.H.D., who has a mix up with his seat at the theatre. What could have been an embarrassing evening turns into a night full of laughter and flirtation.

This is a genteel book, with an old-fashioned style of writing that perfectly fits this story. There is an age gap physically, but mentally and emotionally, these two are the perfect fit for each other. This is only a short book, but the pacing is spot on for it, not feeling rushed at all. The descriptions for Oxford will make many a person want to visit there.

With characters that are instantly recognisable, this is a heartwarming story I have no hesitation in recommending.

* A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book, and the comments here are my honest opinion. *

2 young adults meet in a cancer support group, only problem is, skye is the only one out of them both with terminal cancer. In fact Calvin doesn't have cancer at all, or any disease for that matter, he is just a hyperchondriac. Naturally in true movie form Skye does not know about this and the 2 hit it off. Calvin agrees to help Skye with her 'to die list', her own version of a bucket list.
I felt the character of Izzy (Calvin's s crush) was out of place, there was only supposed to be a 3 year age gap but she looks so much older than him, making their dating scenes a very weird viewing in fact it would have been better without their dating scenes.
I did enjoy watching Skye and Calvin's friendship develop though, it was not often someone with such a strong personality would become best friends with someone who was the complete opposite. It also made a change from 2 main characters falling in love.
