Having heard so many good things about Noble's previous titles, I was really looking forward to getting stuck into this one. Unfortunately, when I first picked it up it was during a busy time, and therefore I struggled to really get into it. Once I was able to devote some proper time to it, I became quickly engrossed.
From the way the book started I thought it was going to be quite an in depth story, touching on the devastating consequences of Alzheimers. However, I soon realised it managed to touch on the subject and remained a light rom-com.
The characters were all likeable, with interesting backgrounds, something that sometimes gets overlooked in a book of this genre. By far, my favourites were Emily and Oliver. They were the most humorous and light-hearted and I loved the dynamics of the Mother-Son relationship between Gigi and Oliver.
I was a little disappointed that the ending didn't involve Gigi more, although I can happily surmise the outcome it would have been nicer to know.
I really enjoyed this book and will definitely pick up more from this author again in the future.
