He agrees without question, and the kids want to be with him, but he's shocked by the reaction of those closest to him, namely his partner Brett and his own mother.

So good you'll read it in one go.
Firstly I loved the book and read it in one sitting even though I meant to just start the first two chapters. it's a nice easy read with nearly all the loose ends tidied up so you finish with a smile. Hopefully the author will write more in this vein I can see a sequel where they help the ex boyfriend and mother come to terms with their past. Just one small criticism, please improve on the proofreading, there are three occasions where the wrong characters name is used in conversation and in a book as enjoyable as this they really stand out.
