I finished reading this within 2 days only and that shows how I really enjoyed this novel.

It's not only a story of moving on but it's also about forgiving, family, friends and yes, even pets. Even though there are times that I hate Juliet's melancholic and struggling drama to move forward, I was able to realized that it's part of her journey and it should not be made hastily.

In the end of her bereavement, she not only open her world to new friends and a new beginning with Lorcan; but she also got to know herself more. Moreover, she was able to understand and fix her relationship with her sister Louise.

This is a must read for those who are looking for something that's light read and that they can be able to finish instantly.
Warm, funny, sad and romantic, Lucy Dillon does not disappoint. Can't read her books fast enough.
Sweet and funny, lovely characters -- a must read for dog lovers.
