A surprising book

You're My Kind is a bit atypical compared to the rest of Lydon's production, in that it's a more intimate story that draws from personal experience.
Clare's irresistible British humour is still there, but in a more somber and mature context heralded by the loss of a loved one.

I loved how the author introduced the cast at a low point, and took them from there through a celebration of the loved ones lost along the way.
And when she brought the story to a wrap in the final act, she did so on a hopeful and joyful note.

You're My Kind is an emotional read, and one that should not be missed.

I felt frustrated about the main characters' decisions and incapability to communicate efficiently.

I kept going until the end, but I was only mildly interested in the MCs and bored by their sex.

Love really can conquer all. Clare did a wonderful job of having her characters deal with grief and forgiveness. I love a happy ending 💕
