Belinda Bauer does it again with her brilliant characters and a clever and quirky storyline. She has brought back some of my favourite characters from her earlier novels and it’s hard not to love them. I devoured this book in an afternoon and then wondered what on earth I should read next as I did enjoy this so much. Sweet and funny but a great romp nevertheless.
