Although this is not the style or genre of book I would normally choose, I was truly pleasantly surprised! A gentle read which gathered some pace towards the end, There was always something to keep you gripped. Just as a secret is revealed, a new mystery unfolds. This is a many layered book - the plots interweave with each other beautifully.
The description, especially of the bookshop and Lovedays passion for books will surely resonate with any avid reader.
I loved that this book approaches some serious issues, such as domestic abuse and mental health, from different perspectives - as the child, girlfriend and friend. The conflict between mental health and violence is discussed and gives an interesting viewpoint.
In conclusion, a gentle read which none the less keeps you gripped!
