I have loved everything NR Walker has written, but Elements of Retrofit (perfect name, so clever) is really special. At least for me, I couldn't put it down. In fact, I read it twice in 24 hours! I was so caught up the first time, I forgot to take notes for the review. Haha I didn't come up with much the second time because it's just too good to give away.  I really think everyone will want to read it for themselves.NR has a real way with words, the way she writes sucks you in. At least it does me and most everyone of my reading friends. I love a lot of books, I love a lot of authors, but not many grab me from the start, every single time! Not many make small bit characters so good you adore them as much as the main ones. There are two of those in this book. Jennifer, Thomas' long time receptionist. She's just as you would hope, loyal, greatly efficient and all knowing.And Lionel, the door man. Again loyal and greatly efficient in his job. He doesn't really do much, but the banter that goes on between Thomas and Cooper over Lionel, is priceless. It made me laugh out loud each time. The whole book made me smile hugely from beginning to end. It's fun, light, and a great read.I asked myself what was so special about this book, it's easy... Cooper Jones. He's everything the 'blurb' says and so much more. In the words of Thomas Elkin himself, he's "Mesmerising. Confounding. Amusing. "Hungry, cute." "Impatient, talented, conceited, smug.""Smartass, juvenile, petulant, belligerent... Cute little shit" I would add adorable, sexy, confident and just what Tom needs. Surprising me a little because I'm usually all for the older, more mature one but Cooper is just irresistible. Don't get me wrong, Thomas is smart & sexy and I love him too, but he & Cooper together are SO GOOD! Another great thing? There are two more books coming! Needless to say, I cannot wait!!
