I was not expecting the emotional rollercoaster that I went on reading this book! I could not put it down. 

Beth annoyed me in the beginning but I think it’s just because I like being organised whereas Beth hates to be tied down to anything. 

Albert was my favourite character and my heart broke when he went out to dinner. It also broke when the nursery slipped up and upset Ted. As someone who used to work with children, it also made me really angry. 

I loved how Beth’s mum started to respect her as it became apparent that she was good at looking after her niece and nephew. 

I really respected the ending. It fit the book perfectly.
