This is a contemporary fiction.

It focuses on two central characters, Jo and Tessa who are the unlikely duo who share their home together.

Jo has always helped her family at their butcher's shop when she was younger. When her parents retire and move closer to her brother's house. She decides to run the shop herself.

Tessa works as a farrier and lives in a cottage outside of the town, she suffers from health issues due to the loss of her little sister and departure of her mother. Reluctantly, she lets out her spare room and ends up sharing her home with Jo.

I like how the author took turns to focus on Jo and Tessa, so you get a better insight to the characters. I like how you as the reader find out about their secrets and hopes.

When I first read the title, saw the cover and read the synopsis, I thought I would like to read this book because it initially sounded like a book about finding your place on the world. Having read it, I wasn't disappointed. I like how the author developed the characters of Jo and Tessa.

I think I would have preferred reading a paperback as I didn't like the font.
