If you liked Freaky Friday and/or The Holiday then you’ll love this book.

If you like cozy England towns and/or the hustle and bustle of a big city then you’ll love this book. 

If you like it when the nice guys don’t finish last and the baddies always get their comeuppance then you’ll love this book.

Fun, cute, easy read. Romance was there but didn't drive the plot, which is refreshing.

Beth O’Leary knows how to write female characters! In other hands I probably would have hated Leena because it’s so easy to take motivated woman characters and make them neurotic and cold. Instead, O’Leary writes characters who are relatable and multidimensional. And Grandma? A TREASURE. What a lovely read!

Moderate: Infidelity and Xenophobia

Minor: Sexual content and Alcohol

There is a character who is explicitly xenophobic and this is never really tackled- it is presented like a quirk of their character rather than ever been explicitly challenged.
