Firstly thank you to Victoria for a free copy in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This was a fabulous read. I was torn between reading it in 1 sitting to stretching it out so I could read it for longer. 

It made me laugh out loud and feel sad in parts too. The characters were so easy to connect with, I felt like I was reading a story about me and my own friends in a lot of ways.

I actually defy anyone to not enjoy this book or connect with the character and stories. I think everyone has experienced a relationship like Sarah and Dan’s in the beginning of the story. It definitely spoke to me on a personal level. The story was very believable and true to life. It was a funny, lovely story and had a bit of a twist. I knew there was something going not as it seemed but I wasn’t expecting it to be what it was. It didn’t end like I thought it would either but that made the story even better that it wasn’t predictable.

I can not recommend this book highly enough to everyone and anyone. I have read one other book by Victoria and so was very much looking forward to this one and it did not disappoint. I can’t wait to read more from this author she is definitely on my favourite author list……hurry up with the next one please Victoria!
