this story really grew on me, in the best way possible. i guess its true what they say, that opposites attract, because a couple of things that would normally be off-putting to me as a reader (tiffy being stereotypically ‘quirky� and the odd writing/formatting of leons chapters) turned out to be very endearing and made me enjoy the story that much more.

i love how this radiated british humour. its so understated, undervalued even, and i thought leon was hilarious. both characters are charming and i thought tiffy went through an amazing character development. for being a light and fluffy book, there are some quite serious topics discussed in this, mainly emotional abuse and manipulation; but i thought it was handled really well, in a way that was loyal and realistic to the characters and story.

overall, im very much impressed with this debut novel and i think its safe to say beth o’leary is an author to keep an eye on!
