Thank you to Netgalley and Bold Strokes Books for a copy of this book.
Dani is adjusting to her new life after divorce from ex-wife, Catriona as they try to co-parent son, Jonah.
Lucy's relationship with her partner, Matt is falling apart.
When Jonah and Lucy's son, Ryan get into a fight in school Dani and Lucy are thrust together.
I found this a very enjoyable read, full of great side characters. I really found myself rooting for Dani and Lucy despite the complexity of their situation.
It was refreshing to see a book set in Northern Ireland that wasn't about the troubles.
Looking forward to McGeown's next book.
