a thoroughly delightful read!
I really, REALLY enjoyed this!

It's a delightful read, that kept me fully engaged from start to finish!

I loved Lanie's expletives, they made me chuckle, they really did. I loved that Charlie was quick to try to appease the grumpy neighbour by keeping quiet first thing in the morning, but also that it enabled Charlie to refind his joy at using his grandad's hand tools.

I LOVED the thing with the grandmas! I must admit, I saw that coming at me a mile off, but I didn't quite see it going down like that and Charlie and Lanie finding out in the manner they did.

It's not overly explicit, but then again, Pratt's work never is, but it's not about that. Its about the getting to know someone, and the falling in love with someone. It's about the emotions involved in a new relationship, for Charlie especially here rather than the physical aspect.

And OH!!

That cover is just PERFECT! I love the covers this author uses, I really do.

A thoroughly enjoyable 4 star read.

"The first interview we did was with The Face, and we were all sitting in a room and it wasn’t going too well. When it came out they must have thought we were the most awkward bastards. Will wasn’t helping much – he was in bed with a torch under the sheets, presumably so he could see his knob. I was asked my influences and I said Lou and Bowie, and I said I loved Abba. The others afterwards said they wished I hadn’t have mentioned Abba, but I didn’t say it for effect, they were this side thing that helped. Every time a song came out it was like, ""fucking hell""! Just utterly brilliant, great melodies, and Agnetha, the best female voice of all time – and the other one wasn’t bad either. It was just so cute – I hate that word – some of the awkward lyrics, but over time was it charm, or just genius lyrics. The relationship songs are just brilliant – I wish I’d have written them. ‘When I Kissed The Teacher’ – you can’t get away with that now, what with the Catholic Church and Jimmy Savile having destroyed all the foundations of decency."
