Ten Years On is the latest novel from Alice Peterson and the first book of hers I have read. I have to say I enjoyed it alot more than I thought I would. I expected your average bit of chick lit but the story has more to it. Its a bit of a tear jerker and with a bit of humour thrown in.The book starts with Olly, Joe and Rebecca at a party at University thinking about what they'll be doing in 10 years time, then we jump to ten years in the future were we find out. The book continues to flit between the the past and present as we get more background info on the characters and we find out how they ended up where they are.

I would definitely recommend these book its quite light reading perfect to take on holiday or for sitting in the garden. I will also have to read some others books from this author. Let me know if you've read this book and what you thought, also let me know of any others books you would recommend.
