Book Synopsis:
When seven-year-old Fran first met Will they knew instantly that they were made for each other. For eleven years they were inseparable, but then, at the age of eighteen, Will just upped and disappeared.
Twenty-five years later Will is back.
Is fate trying to give them a second chance?
Still nursing the heart break from all those years ago, Fran is reluctant to give Will the time of day. The price Will must pay is to tell the truth – the truth about why he left, the truth about why he’s back…
And Fran has her own secrets to hide. The time has come to decide what Fran and Will really want from life – before it’s too late.
Unashamedly romantic, Before We Grow Old is a book full of love, laughter and tears, and you’ll be rooting for Fran and Will from the moment you meet them. Let Clare Swatman whisk you away for the love story of the year. Perfect for fans of Sophie Cousens and Isabelle Broom.

My Review:
Before We Grow Old is a beautiful, emotional story that was much more than the love story I was expecting. It’s going to be a hard book to review as I don’t want to give anything away.
The story is told from the point if view of Fran who I quickly warmed to and enjoyed following throughout the book. She was a very realistic character that I felt I could relate to and I’d be friends with in real life. It was so lovely to get to know her and her slightly dysfunctional family.
I thought this was a truly beautiful read that I found hard to put down as I soon found myself thoroughly absorbed in the character’s lives. Yes there is a beautiful love story but it’s also much more than that which I wasn’t expecting. There are some very emotional moments about some heartbreaking topics which I found hard to read at times and found myself crying as I read. There are lots of secrets being kept hidden and I enjoyed watching them all being revealed.
This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I’m now very excited to read more in future.
Huge thanks to Rachel from Rachel’s Random Resources for my copy of this book and for inviting me onto the blog tour.
