If you like books by Beth O’Leary then you’ll love the writing of Rachel Marks. I listened to this book on audio after being drawn into it by the cover and without reading the blurb. I am so glad I did as I thoroughly enjoyed it and cannot wait to read more from this author. The narrator was fabulous and you felt emerged in the story throughout. I love how it was written from the perspective of a male primary school teacher which not only challenged stereotypes but also highlighted how everyone has flaws and struggles. It was funny whilst also tackling some challenging topics. At times the plot was predictable, however I don’t feel like this negatively impacted the book in anyway. A lovely romance read.
