A highly perceptive tale of single parenthood beautifully observed. Full of home truths and delivered with a touch of humour, it's a rewarding read. Highly recommended.
I'm so pleased to have found Ciara! What a wonderful book - I loved it. I thought it had such heart and depth, and the characters were so real. I genuinely didn't want it to end.
My favourite author does it again in this superbly written perceptive, poignant novel that makes you laugh and cry! Oh, I envy you the read of this. Treat yourself to a brilliant book!
Ciara Geraghty is a superb writer . . . She's the Irish Jojo Moyes, of Me Before You fame. Like Moyes, her books are meticulously researched, beautifully written, and infused with warmth, humour and human understanding.
I love Ciara's writing style and although her books are easy to read there's always a deeper story behind them. This one touches on life, love and parenting. It's full of warmth and humour and you'll read it in a couple of sittings!
A touching, tender, often funny story about love in all its messy, uncertain glory . . . with a hero who will find a place in your heart.
A smart, realistic and gritty love story . . . You will feel all the feelings - we can't remember the last time we rooted for two characters quite as much. Geraghty also deals very sensitively with mental health problems, and goes out of her way not to paint the other halves in the broken relationships as "baddies" . . . A romantic story with its feet firmly planted in the grittiness of real life.
