Summary

After being jilted at the altar, Zoe Moore flees to Boston, America, where she works as nanny to five-year-old Ruby Miller and her little brother, Samuel. Ruby and Samuel lost their mother in an accident; their father, Ryan Miller, is so wrapped up in his grief that he barely notices his two children. Whatever happened to the loving man she keeps hearing about from his neighbours?

Definitely a re listen

I absolutely loved this book, the story and characters are so loveable, you can't help but fall for them. The only thing that bothered me a little was the narrators Boston accent, which sounded like a bad fat Tony impression from the Simpsons!

best book of janes

I just loved this book and finished it in 2 days. Yes it was a little predictable but I didn't care.

Great Chick lit

I really liked this booked even if it was a bit simple and exasperating at times. There were some laugh out loud moments but also some unbelievable ones. Zoe was a lovely character but should have stood up to Ryan, Jason and her Mum much sooner. Maybe then I wouldn't be shouting at her in my car. Overall good book if you need a break from something heavier.

Ending felt rushed

The last few chapters felt rushed with no details, a very quick ending with no epilogue, quite disappointing finish.
