You Can't Have Your Cake and Eat It Philip Andrews

It started when a single red rose sent to the wrong person led to the right person. However, this is no ordinary romantic tale but a story of self-discovery, friendship and travel set to the backdrop of four continents. A chance encounter upon the volcanic and snowy slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro and a drunken text message sets off a chain reaction involving supermarket shopping in an odd pair of shoes and a trains emergency stop button. It charts a struggle to reconcile rigid moral values with genuine love for two women resulting in a broken promise and anxiety ridden reflections whilst travelling across America by train. A sprint finish to the Sun Gate while walking the Inca Trail is followed by dodging the attentions of a man eating Scottish lady along the West Highland Way. It reveals that when all the right ingredients are present, a deep and enduring love can overcome all challenges, even a very real and present second love.
