I really liked this book. Yes, it's a cliche rom-com /chick lit book but one of the better ones and is very cute. Having read The One recently by John Marrs, it has a very different feel and execution to the same concept, finding your sole mate via DNA. Jess and her best friend Fizz meet at a coffee shop where a grumpy man comes in every morning. They nickname him Americano, and he is Jess's DNA match. Jess is a single mum to Juno. She lives with her grandparents across the complex Pops and Nana Jo, and she  has a very difficult relationship with her mother. I love the characters and their relationships. The writing of the 7 year old Juno is just right. It's funny in all the right places, cute, sweet but not overly so, making it recommended fab beach read. It's easy to read and makes you feel very cosy . As a duo writing together, their work is seamless, and it's as if one person has written it so huge admiration for that. If you are looking for a relaxing read, look no further.
