Celebrity novels are always a bit of a risk but this one started very strongly (though I did guess the twist) and then settled into a slower burn as we met the characters and then the pace picked up ag in around the middle of the book.  I found the plot interesting and clever. The Devon setting is well described and I particularly loved Edward's house on the edge of an eroding cliff!  The three main characters are all likeable and realistic., and I es ecially liked Edward and really felt for him.  There is a lot of heartbreaking sadness in the book  but also some humour to balance things.  

Jeremy Vine did a great job narrating his book.
