This story is about a woman trying to find the truth, do the right thing, and fight for the underdog. We learn about Kit’s life in snippets and start to question whether he is responsible for everything that happened. Clover is an award winning documentary maker, currently riding high with her documentary about Cory, a champion surfer who had a terrible accident that ended his career and changed his whole life, due to the actions of fellow champion surfer, Kit. This really took me on a rollercoaster of emotions as the story played out, and I felt I lived the book with the characters.

Ho faticato a concludere “APPUNTAMENTO A MEZZANOTTE” per il ritmo lento e pesante che, solo a tratti, mi ha coinvolto. Dass Clover nun ausgerechnet von Kit Foley eine Doku drehen soll, ist für sie anfangs ein Widerspruch, aber bald schon reizt sie dieser Gedanke immer mehr, besonders, nachdem Kits Sponsor an sie herantritt und sie nach einer Doku bietet, die Kits wechsel zum Snowboarden zeigen soll. War als obligatorisches kitschiges Weihnachtsbuch gedacht, Tradition von der besten Freundin und mir. I really liked all the backstory in this - particularly with Clover's past work with Corey, the other surfer from Kit's accident, as well the slow reveals about both Kit's past and childhood, as well as Clover's. The story follows the award-winning movie director Clover, who rose to fame when she filmed the documentary about Cory Allbright, a surfer whose life went downhill after an accident, because of a controversy with his rival, Kit Foley.

I've read my fair share of promising but ultimately boring chicklit-romance stories set at Christmastime in picturesque surroundings. Appuntamento a mezzanotte è un romanzo dolcissimo e pieno di buoni sentimenti che si attorcigliano come fili di lana.

Her team of Johnny and Mats were great supporting characters and added that touch of family she needed around her. Zum einen fängt es mitten in einer Preisverleihung der erfolgreichen Clover Phillips an, die für ihre Dokumentation den verletzten, gefallenen Surfers Cody einen Preis einheimst und von allen gefeiert wird. Ir dabar turi tik vieną tikslą - sužinoti ir suprasti kodėl garsiausias pasaulio banglentininkas Kitas Foulis yra toks koks yra - negailestingas ir žiaurus sportininkas. But as she delves deeper, Clover finds herself both drawn to Kit, and even more convinced he’s hiding something.La triste vicenda, esposta da Karen Swan con un’eccessiva quanto pedante retorica, evolve in maniera ancora più tragica, poiché la depressione che lo affligge da allora lo conduce al gesto più estremo. Instead of drowning us in Clover and Kit, she made sure the moments we had with them together resonated and completely stole our focus. An intense and compelling read with twists aplenty as we spend time with both Clover and Kit under the guise of the documentary to understand Kit’s drive.
