This was a beautifully touching and tender read, showing that bond between family who are having to face the saddest time ahead.
Scott and his mum have always been very close. As a young boy Scott was quite poorly and had to have a heart transplant - but that gave him his life back and he's now at university enjoying his freedom. His mum, Josie, had to raise him as a single parent but nothing was ever too much trouble and her life was put on hold as she nursed him through the tough time and her needs were put on a back burner.
She is now working at the local bed shop and seems quite settled in her life but Scott is worried that she'll always be alone, and with some worrying test results playing on his mind, he decides to go on a quest to find his mum some happiness and romance! But does she really want her son to play cupid for her?!
While Scotts' health begins to dip, his focus remains on sorting through the emails he receives for his mum after posting a video of her online! She agrees to go on dates with some of the men - others prove to be more successful than others! But sometimes you end up finding love where you least expect it! Both characters are quite similiar in the way that they seem to put others first and are some of lifes' good guys so you only want the best for them and hope they can find what they're searching for.
This was quite an emotional read that felt genuine and not over the top on the sympathy front. The relationship between Josie and Scott was so touching that you couldn't help be moved to tears as the story develops - have the tissues ready when you read this book! - and it approaches quite a tough subject with dignity. Highly recommended
