Synopsis:

When they got in the lift that morning, they were strangers. Sasha, who is at the UK's biggest TV centre desperately trying to deliver a parcel; Hugo, who knows he's by far the richest – and best-looking – guy in the lift; Velvet, who regrets wearing the world's least comfortable shoes to work experience; Dawson, who isn't the good-looking teen star he was and desperate not to be recognized; Kaitlyn, who's slowly losing her sight but won't admit it, and Joe, who shouldn't be there at all, but who wants to be there the most.
And one more person, who will bring them together again on the same day every year . . .
Review:

Contemporary is not my genre of choice, I have a very small number that I have read and enjoyed but hearing that one of my favourite authors (Melinda Salisbury) had contributed to it I decided to give it a go. And it was a wonderful surprise. I really enjoyed it. I love the point of view writing from all the characters and the way the story moved along well. I ended up liking all the characters (even one who I hated in the beginning) and truly cared about their stories. The one down point was the ending seemed abrupt with little closure. I wanted to know more!

I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars and I recommend you read it!
