This novel is really incredibly good. I was hooked from the very first page and really did not want to put it down ! The friendship formed between Joanne, Malcolm and Ruth is truly amazing and it just prove,s that you could form friendship's with the unlikelyness of people. The story flowed incredibly well and was an amazing story that really pulled you in. As a reader you were really rooting for Joanne to repair her relationship with her oldest best friend, Lucy and also for her ( hopeful !! ) relationship with Eric the viking! This novel was incredibly well written and although not a thriller was definitely one of those novel,s you don,t want to put down ! I loved all the character's ( apart from Joanne's ex James !) and loved the fact it had new friendship's and old. This novel is definitely one to keep and read again as it is so beautifully written
