Once again, SO surprising. Even when I was expecting to be surprised, it shocked me. Surprisingly goes to pretty dark places ?? Out of nowhere?? I loved Zoe, I loved the Nanny McPhee nature of it- so good. Some 🤨 moments but good overall. Re-read the scene in 500 miles and made me so happy lol

This was really good really really entertaining fun plot I actually wished there was more development on the romance side of things but I enjoyed it I think it would make a good movie or tv show too :)

It was fine, but there were quite some errors in it and the characters' development was weird. And why have a title with the word 'bookshop', when it is not even a bookshop nor was the book'van' a big element of the story. I mostly finished this book because I had time to kill while travelling and didn't have another book with me.

Would read again. Did not like it as much as the previous book. About a nanny who falls in love with the kids dad. what is happily ever after.

Wanted it to center around the same characters in the first book. It follows other characters.
