I was intrigued by the premise of this book; a feel-good book where the two main characters meet at an anger management course - it sounds so wrong - but on reading the book it is 100% right!
Emily’s first impression of Jake is not a good one - and not just because the venue is an anger management course. Jake is short-tempered with his wife, Gemma, and son, Alfie. Emily has already met Alfie moments before when they bond under a table over a Bourbon biscuit. Jake finds Emily harsh, judgemental and in denial.
However, Alfie likes Emily. Alfie doesn’t like many people. Alfie doesn’t like much at all.. Can Jake and Emily tolerate each other for the sake of Alfie?
Such a superb debut novel. Could not put it down. Had to continue reading to see what happened, especially to dear little Alfie.
Thanks to NetGalley for a Kindle copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
