This is the first book I've read in a while that's been for pleasure, rather than for review. And oh my goodness what a pleasure. I connected with the main character (Sally) in a way I haven't done in a while. I felt her pain, her grief, her loss. I also understood fully her reactions, her decisions, her blunders - but most of all her courage and her humour. I didn't read this book, I lived it. I loved it. It's just so real, so gritty, so funny. Ms Zia, I will definitely be buying and reading more of your books! I downloaded this one a while ago, when it was on free promotion, and it's been sitting on my To Read list for what seems like an age - I really really really regret now not having opened this book sooner. It's one I'll be returning to, again and again. And again. This is a book that lends itself to being revisited, like an old friend. A friend that gets into places you might prefer to keep in the dark, but also a friend that comforts you, yet makes you cry with laughter. This isn't a book to be read in public, if you do you're likely to receive some funny looks - because you will erupt into sudden, inexplicable belly laughter. Loud, perhaps inappropriate, guffaws. I did. So will you.
