Susie is a reliably excellent author and this is just as good as I've come to expect from her - a warm, funny and moving story that looks at family, friendships, expectations and accepting people's faults. Great to see characters from previous books returning but the new ones are fantastic - especially Billie herself, her brother Gabriel, and his boyfriend Alexei. Warning - I cried at one point! (Also Lisa Horton's cover art is FABULOUS!)

So fabulous to see Sam & Sam, main characters of Susie's wonderful previous book, make an appearance here!
