DEAR EMMIE BLUE

Eternal-optimist and planner Emmie Blue is about to turn thirty - the age by which she thought she'd have everything on her life plan ticked off - and best friend of fourteen years (and unrequited love of her life) Lucas has something to ask her. Something he can't ask over the phone. And this, Emmie is sure, is when it all slots into place. This is when her life starts. When she finally gets the man she has loved all her adult life. But Lucas has news. He's getting married. And he wants Emmie to stand at the altar beside him, as his best woman.

At age 16, Emmie stood in the fields of her secondary school and let go of a red balloon into the sky. Attached was her name and email address... and a secret. A secret she wanted to be free of. A secret nobody else knew. That was until 16-year-old Lucas Moreau found her balloon, weeks later, on a beach in Brittany, France, and emailed the address attached. An email that found Emmie when she needed it the most, sparking a friendship which provided the one spot of stability in her life.

Now the one thing Emmie has been counting on, is no longer hers to count on, and everything she planned is up in the air.
Emmie Blue is about to learn everything she thinks she knows about life (and love) is just that: what she thinks she knows. Is there such thing as 'meant to be'? Or is it true when they say that life is what happens when you are busy making other plans?
