Editorial Reviews

â€œOne of the most scrumptious books i think Iâ€™ve ever readâ€
All Things Books

â€œLike a hug in a book! ... ideal book for those who doubts there's such a thing as having it allâ€ â€“ Womanâ€™s Way

â€œAn amazing story of first love and how, even years later, the feelings can still exist. Based on a true story, this was my favourite tale of true love in recent years. Sweet, warm and endearing, it stayed with me for weeks after I had finished it. For all of us that believe there is a soulmate out there for everyone.â€ Bleach House Library

Quite simply, this is one of the nicest, warmest and moving love stories I have read in years and I found myself very emotional while reading it. It had some personal meaning to me, as it was a similar tale to a relative of mine, and I had to stop reading a few times in order to pull myself together. I didnâ€™t want it to end and the lump in my throat remains with me, even as I write this review. Writing.ie

I LOVED this book. I was completely absorbed in it ...I really couldn't put it down - At Home with Mrs M

â€œA feel-good, touching and amusing tale which readers will find hard to put downâ€ â€“ Irish Independent
