Not my favourite Beth O’Leary book but her writing is so gripping I once again couldn’t put it down. Great character development and a simple but effective setting.

Meh... Didn't buy into the central romance, couldn't stand any of the characters except Deb and I thought the Rodney subplot was completely unnecessary and not handled well at all.

Stalking isn't a side joke. It's terrifying for the victims.

It still passed the time though and I will continue to read more Beth O'Leary for the foreseeable future.

Just another sweet story by this author. I was a bit worried that I wouldn't vibe with their relationship during the first flashback, but it quickly became very engrossing and I wanted to understand their history immediately.
