Well, This Is Awkward

by Esther Walker, Sophie Roberts (Narrator)

Mairéad is single, child-free and head of a successful influencer talent agency. The young people at work may be mean to her, she hasn’t seen her only sister for nine years and she’s one bad date away from giving up on men completely–but other than that, she’s got life sorted.

Until Sunshine shows up. When her militant, off-grid sister has a mysterious accident, Mairéad’s inscrutable niece comes to stay, turning life upside down. Just for a couple of weeks. Or is it?

Enjoyable read - not predictable and glad that there was no perfect ending.

A little gem. Enjoyable quirky read. Although I found the ending a bit abrupt. However still worth it. Loved the children Sunny and Dibs.

I couldn’t decide if this was a badly written book or not. Some of it was completely unbelievable and not based in a reality I recognise. I almost stopped reading at 50 pages - but persevered. It was readable and only took me a day or two, so was a swift read. I felt like k was taken in by who wrote it and not the story , when showing to read this. 3 * as I did finish and it was an ok read even if unrealistic in places
