Funny with interesting and rounded characters. I loved the friendship between Laura and Heidi and also the mother daughter relationship. Definitely NOT full of the usual cliches or lazy writing. Sally Philips narrated this book brilliantly and brought all the characters to life. A thoroughly enjoyable listen.

This was a great story and fabulous narrator, I enjoyed this right from the beginning and was a bit disappointed when it came to an end. I would have loved for it to have gone on just a little bit more but that's me just being greedy!
