As a Terri Douglas fan, this one reaches out on many levels. Funny in places where you will literally laugh out loud, but also real and serious too. A lovely story about two people who I feel like Ive known for ever, and as ever, brilliantly written and a happy good book feeling at the end. The style of writing, bringing the children who you get to know so well through to their adult lives was my favorite aspect. Another must read from Terri Douglas :)
