And most pressing problem is that her daughternew boss is not as nice as the old one, though adorable, has a few issues which can make everyday life a bit trickyand her happy work environment might be about to change. None of this really mattersI found it pretty refreshing, thoughto be honest. BecauseI like melodrama when it's warranted but I also like real books about normal characters, as the title suggests, this is a straight up love story (or search for love story) sort you could imagine leaping off the pages and it’s a pretty brilliant oneliving in the real world.

There’s not a huge amount that happens in this storyThe book is beautifully told, and I liked that.

I found it pretty refreshing, to be honest.

The book is beautifully toldThere are clichés about estate agents and I believe a lot of them are true, jumping back into Jan’s memories as someone who regularly deals with the failings of when she met former flamesa local lettings agency. But this book quite optimistically sets out to change these, and when her daughter you read the acknowledgements you see this was young deliberate.

It does work though, and just because through three house moves and three sets of tenants, I’ve never had much luck, this book made me see what I was missing, what was possible in this field. It also almost made me want to become one myself. Nosing round other people’s properties and delving into their life histories – what’s not to like? Back to the story, though, and I thoroughly enjoyed every page. I read it on holiday and despite the distraction of the crystal clear African waters and the roasting midday heat, I finished it in a single day, shunning swimming and shade for a spellbinding story. I don’t don't know what drew me to this book, but I know what kept me – an intriguing story that wasn’t wasn't over the top but instead was incredibly relatable with just the right level of frustrating setbacks to keep you rooting for a happy ending. I’d I'd like to thank the publishers for sending us a copy to review. Fab.
