This was the first novel by Ahern that I had read. She has an easy enough style & I found this book to be an enjoyable step away from the usual chick-lit storyline of sassy-girl-living-in-the-city-looking-for-love!

The story revolves around main characters Lou & Gabe. Lou, the protagonist, is a big shot corporate man, working his life away & missing out on the amazing adventure that is marriage & family! Gabe is a homeless man that befriends Lou & enters his life in a series of both unexplainable & sometimes patronising situations that lead to Lou making discoveries about himself & his misdirected longings.

I enjoyed this story & the way it reached out from the pages & clutched at my heart in a way not many books can. Do we treat our time with respect or do we waste the gift of time on something not worthy of its importance?

Would I buy the book to read again, probably not, but I would recommend it?
