I absolutely adore this author’s books, they are easy to read and I love the characters that she creates! This is a very positive book and I loved reading it.

I love her writing style and this really brought the different characters to life. Their interaction was superb, I really warmed to Piper, she is one of my favourite characters from 2018 so far and I could see myself in so much that she was doing!

I LOVED it – such a good story and no hesitation in giving it 5 stars – it is funny and heart-warming at the same time, a highlight of the year so far for me – a genuine pleasure to read!! (

I haven't read anything by Keris Stainton before - but having seen her compared to Mhairi McFarlane - I had high hopes!

It was a lovely, easy read - and I liked Piper from the start.  The fact that she's not stick thin is vital to the storyline in a number of ways - but it's mentioned in passing rather than weight / size specific - which I really liked.  I also liked the body positive message that Piper gave out - that shaming her on social media for being overweight was unacceptable - but equally so was shaming others for being 'too skinny'.  Nobody should be shamed for their size - whatever that might be. #getsoffsoapbox 

Whilst the blurb talks about the relationship between Piper and Rob - it's actually much more than that.  It deals with sibling relationships, relationships between male and female platonic friends, the effects of grief, relationships with older relatives - and feels much more nuanced than some straight rom coms.

I suspect I'm a bit older than target audience (and until there were some raunchier scenes I had thought would be a good book for my 14 year old, in fact she'd probably still think it was fine!!) but even this middle aged Mum of 4 enjoyed it.

I devoured it in a matter of hours, and would definitely read books by this author again.  I've noticed that it's down as a 99p download on Kindle once it comes out in June - and it's most definitely worth the price of half a cappuccino!

Keris' books always make me feel like I can achieve anything I set my mind to. Heart-warming, body-positive, sweet and caring, I am going to be thinking about these characters for a long time. Can we get a sequel about Holly, please?!
