Fiction. Romance. HTML: No one could have planned for this... Lara Carson left her family and boyfriend Flynn eighteen years ago without a word to anyone. Why has no one heard from her since? Does it mean anything that she's suddenly reappeared in Bath just in time for her ex-best friend Evie's wedding? And what about Flynn? Even the most eagle-eyed observer can't tell whether he's happy to see her, or just stunned. While secrets pile up on secrets, and the gossip mill wings into high gear, the brand-new life Lara's searching for becomes ever more elusive. There's a lot of catching up for everyone to do, and Lara's return is going to be anything but a walk in the park. *Praise for To the Moon and Back:* "A tremendous look at friendship, hope, romance, and second chances." �??RT Book Reviews, 4 stars "A romantic and lighthearted story...fans will eat this story up." �??Publishers Weekly "Mansell crafts a lovely story with multiple plotlines, characters, and love interests." �??USA Today "Absolutely, positively and outstanding story." �??Night Owl Reviews Reviewer Top Pick,… (more)

Great characters in an interesting story of how their lives intertwine (

One of my favorite novels by Jill Mansell she just keeps getting better. Likeable characters with a few interesting twists. (

Jill Mansell's characters always jump off the pages, and I laughed out loud many times in this story. However, I only gave it three stars because the story was so predictable. (

My first Jill Mansell & probably my last. Too much like a contrived Harlequin Romance rather than the witty chicklit I prefer for light reading. (

This was ok, as a fan of Jill Mansell I enjoyed it, and it has a pretty typical chick lit plot. But really predictable and stretched belief. I found it hard to believe Lara could return to Bath and resume her relationships with so little consequence and never doubted for a minute who she would end up with. So not a lot of tension or surprises, but a pleasant diversion. (
