Here is a short sample from the book:
How many years had it been since David asked her the question that had changed her life? It seemed like yesterday but was actually almost ten years before, ten long years to come full circle to this point in her life. Suddenly the plane felt smaller and her throat had gotten tighter, she licked her lips and tried to close her eyes in order to calm down, was she really going home? And what was going to happen when she got there?
Her mind went back in time to the first time they met, she was thirteen and she was in a phone booth with her friend Roberta, he drove by on his bike, he had black hair and blue eyes, dark blue like the sky on a stormy day. Then he smiled at her with such a sweet smile it took her breath away.
She nudged Roberta.“Did you see him? He smiled at me” Without missing a beat she said, “No, you were mistaken, he was smiling at me” Roberta always thought everything was about her, but Deja knew that smile was for her and her alone, it was a smile that stole her heart and would change her life forever.

Determined to keep the place open, against someone fixed on closing it down, the pair fight tooth and nail to achieve what they want, both poles apart on how they see the world and why.
But could opposites really attract?
Or is it that they want to be with that person, but all for the wrong reasons?
It’s about finding unexpected love in the most extraordinary place when faced with every possible obstacle to stop having a ‘Good Vibration’.
