This is the story of Rose and Tyler - in their 60s, one is divorced, the other is a widower and both are looking at another chance at love. In their case, a revisiting of a long ago past flirtation.
Being a relationship later in life, they both bring a little baggage - and in the case of this book, that would be their children: Laura, Nat, Emmy, Seth and Mallory.
What results is a gaggle of characters who seem infantile and immature - including Tyler and Rose! The tantrums and sulks that result in interactions between siblings or parents and children really didn't feel very authentic.
I have read Joanna Trollope novels in the past and have enjoyed her storytelling ability, but found this book was lacking a believable quality. It also wrapped itself up a little too nicely.
Not my favourite recent read - it was ok because Trollope is a competent author - but the plot and the characters left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth.
Thank you Netgalley for a chance to read this wonderful book. Marriage second time around with baggage, problem we face in life more and more. Loved the story and the characters. Great book.
