Another gem from Jenny Colgan. A recommended purchase for collections where her other titles and lighter WF are popular.

The style of this book is very different from the others by this author and not necessarily in a positive way. Perhaps it's my age--I definitely have a lot less patience these days for things I find tedious or boring. If a reader doesn't mind whingy children and sibling discord mixed with a bit of interesting bookshop work then they might like this new chic-lit-ish style novel set in Edinburgh, Scotland. The plot seemed solid enough, and I really enjoyed a number of other books by this author, but this one seemed like it must have been a chore to write; it's missing all the light happiness and tight writing of the others. For me, it was a DNF.
