Book Information
Glasgow, 1975. How do you cope when your boyfriend kills himself because of you?
When Bobbie Sinclair’s boyfriend commits suicide and blames her, she vows never to love again. Instead she chooses to lead a double existence, kind-hearted by day and promiscuous by night. She increasingly struggles to maintain the balance between light and dark and soon finds herself sucked into the world of a controlling and ruthless crime lord from which she must escape.
Set against a vibrant but seedy 1970s Glasgow backdrop, Love’s Long Road plots Bobbie’s desperate plight. Starting a new life but constantly afraid of her past catching up with her, she battles danger, adversity and drug addiction on the long and perilous road back to love.
Love’s Long Road is about dealing with the guilt of terrible events in your past and the risk of being corrupted by the world around you; it is a story that captures to perfection what it was like to be young and single in the 1970s.

My Review
3.5☆ A Dark Drama filled read
When i first read the blurb for Love’s Long Road i was really intrigued, but unfortunately i felt something was missing for me.
I completely understand that after your boyfriend commits suicide because you split up you would blame yourself, ( and I know because it nearly happened to someone very close to me), could spiral you on a downward path. But i would of loved more of that explored.
I felt that Bobbie the main character used sex to escape her feelings vowing to never fall in love again.
Her self destruction leads her down a dangerous path, when she becomes entangled with the dark & dangerous Michael.
I think for me It was just missing something, I didn't particularly like Bobbie or Michael. At times I felt I should feel sorry for her but she didn't seem to redeem herself.
Overall Love’s Long Road is a pacy read that delves into a dark world of sex, drugs, danger, heartache, grief, self destruction and manipulation.
A great read if you are looking for a Dark Drama filled read then this is the book for you!
