This book covers the sad topic of grief. I would have expected to have my tissues handy, yet Hayson Manning delivers quirky humour that creates the most uplifting story.Mason Christian, is grieving and has shut down everything but his drive for work. Billie, after caring for her dying ex husband, needs money to attain her dream of cooking school. Billie takes up a short term contract with Mason, who calls her 'forty-two' as he doesn't expect her to last. Billie doesn't complain, just calls Mason a different name every time she speaks to him. She's funny. She has a great zest for life. And this attitude makes this book such a pleasure to read. Not only does Billie's humour, attitude and sassiness make the book fun, it cuts through Mason's walls.Stanley steals my heart. He's an adorable, pine cone chasing, dog you can't help but love.I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I look forward to the next Hayson Manning story.
