A romantic comedy but also the story of a woman who’s afraid of living and how life is going to be changed by a dog.
I expect to be a lot of fun but I found some parts quite heartbreaking and, even we know there’s going to be a happy ending, some parts deals with some serious issues like grief, the fear of moving on and how we can hurt ourselves for fear of being alone.
The story is told by the point of view of Doug, a rescue pug, and his parts are absolutely funny and I loved him. He’s clever, witty and wants the best for Julie, his owner.
I felt for Julie and, even if she’s often a bit unlikable, I appreciated how she changed during the book and realized how she deserved something better and more satisfying.
My favorite characters were Julie’s dad and Pryia, her best friend. Luke is obnoxious, one of those man that makes wonder how can someone feel in love with them.
The plot flows and it doesn’t drag. The best part are those featuring Doug and he’s a great dog and a great friend.
I recommend this story if you are a fan of Bridget Jones.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
