Review: Before We Grow Old by Clare Swatman

I am a sucker for a bright, feminine, sparkly cover and that’s almost certainly what drew me into this romance. Branded the love story of the year, I had high hopes for it and I can certainly say it brought the tears!

Fran and Will met when they were just seven years old and realised they were made for each other as they grew up. But when they were 18, Will’s family go through a devastating tragedy and his father uproots them to Australia, leaving Fran behind. 25 years later, Will is back in the UK and he has found Fran again but he has a secret to tell her. Fran also has a secret and is unsure about falling in love with Will all over again but could this be fate at its finest?

I loved how Fran could see the boy she’d always loved in the face of the middle-aged man, who she literally bumps into in a cafe, 25 years later. It’s almost like she has kept the memory of the details of his face all that time and they’re finally right there in front of her again. I know what it’s like to love someone so completely that you’d know them anywhere and that’s exactly what Fran and Will have.

There is a strong theme of time and making the most of it while you can. The concept of time changes as we go through our lives and both Fran and Will reflect on this constantly. During our youth, time stretches on and on but as you get older, it flies by and we often only realise this when we don’t have very much of it left. I won’t go into plot details in order to avoid spoilers but the book really inspired me to live in the moment and not to waste a single day of my short life. 

Before We Grow Old is a heartbreaking and romantic novel that puts life and love into perspective and encourages readers to fully celebrate both of those things. There were certain aspects that didn’t quite ring true to me, such as Will’s ex-wife’s apparently instant, complete acceptance of the enormous changes to both her and her daughter’s lives. However, overall it is a thoroughly enjoyable, emotional and thought-provoking story of family, eternal love and life affirmation.

Se la mente è un posto strano, allora la mia è il più strano di tutti.
