In the first couple of chapters, I admit I struggled. The writing was a bit clunky - particularly the dialogue - and I found there was too much concentration upon the “social anxiety” aspect considering how quick the protagonist was to overcome it.

That said, what emerged after the first third was an accessible, enjoyable story. It didn’t take much to read, and would be perfect as a holiday read or a bit of sheer escapism. It’s not one I would reread, but it’s recommended if the genre suits you.

First book I have read by this author and enjoyed reading it.

The story of Chloe, who has moved to a house in the country following the break-up of her marriage. She struggles with new situations, and her anxiety makes it difficult to meet new people, but she doesn't get a choice once new neighbours get involved in her life.

I Just read this book in one sitting. So good! It has fantastic characters, hilarious antics, an adorable pooch and some will they, won't they romances. Suddenly Single also deals with some mental health issues, which is so important these days.

This has to be one of my contenders for book of the year, and it's only February!
