    5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely short story.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 1, 2016
    I thoroughly enjoyed curling up on a wet cold winter
    's afternoon with such a good book. A box of chocolates and a cup of tea. What could be better? I felt like I'd wandered through the story with Jess.
    I can recommend this novelette to anyone who enjoys short stories. This is the second of Helen Libby's novelette that I have read, and look forward to reading her next one. I love the way Helen is able to get such a full story into a novelette.

    4.0 out of 5 stars My first ever romance read. And I enjoyed it.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 31, 2016
    Well, I've never read a chick lit / romance book before, so this was a new genre for me, but I enjoyed it! This story follows a commitment-phobic writer, in a romance with her editor! She nearly sabotages her perfect relationship because she's afraid of commitment. While this is going on, she's trying to find her birth mother, having lost her adoptive mother a year earlier. The storyline is true to life most of the time. The main character's commitment-phobia irritated me a bit, but that's how some people are! It's a short read - I read it on a one hour train journey. Probably something that anyone experiencing the same issues as the main character - adoption/commitment issues - might enjoy.

    I enjoyed everything about this book. A really easy read and with lovely characters and and covering a variety of topics such as love, friendship, commitment issues and adoption. Will highly recommend. Looking forward to Helen Libby's future books. She is fast becoming a favourite author of mine.
