I’ve loved every LJ book I’ve read, but found this one very slow compared to the others.

It had a nice warm ending, but was a bit of a slog to get there.

Not my favourite Lisa Jewell book.

A different story line

Far, far too much of the f word.
Some odd , unrealistic conversations and scenarios.
Got fed up and bored with the veneration of the main character and wanted the whole thing to finish. This was really a disappointing book for me.

Not usual standard
