What can you do when the love of your life forgot ever being in love with you? How can you fill the years and recreate the experience of the first dates, not only for rekindling the flame, but for getting your past and ultimately, your love, back?
Ten Dates by Rachel Dove is a sweet romantic novel, about a couple - Alice and Callum - in love. But their love story was cut short after Alice was the victim of a car accident. In coma for a couple of months, as she woke up, she could not remember the last two years of their common life. Callum will try, in just ten dates, to convince her to fall in love with him again.
I loved how slowly we are introduced into the story and the beginning convinced me to keep and keep reading. For me, it was an easy, weekend read, but very emotional, as it deals with the processes taking place into our brains while highlighting the fragility of life and love.
I also loved the idea of doing all possible to get the loved one back, to fight against oblivion against all odds. Callum´s fight to get his Alice back is very romantic and heroic, a reminder that love still has a price worth paying for.
Ten Dates is a perfect read for hopeful romantics and anyone interested in a different take on falling in love and fighting for love in a completely unexpected situation.
