Lucy Lucy Lucy where have you been hiding this one and why did no one tell me about it before!!! I am so happy I decided to give this one a try because it was everything I needed and more!!!

The story follows Emilia who is a live in nurse for a terminal patient. When the patient passes away she leaves terms within her will that stipulate that Emilia and her grandson Ben must live with each other for a month and renovate her home if they would like to inherit the money and house she left them.

Ben is a real d!ck at first and loved him!!! the banter between the mains was elite and I couldn't stop laughing at their general shenanigans. Emilia has some of the best inner monologue I have ever read and as the movie buff I'd like to call myself I lived for all the movie references within it. Lucy you are the best at writing side characters honestly because Nick was just the best
