"You can't be done with dating if you want a family." 
"I was so much happier before this year. I don't want to think about it or look for it any more. If it happens, it happens." 
"There's nothing wrong with wanting to love someone, Nina." 
"I know that." 
"It's not a weakness, to want that for yourself," she said. "I don't want you to give up hope." 
"I think that might have already happened."

This book is for those who have ever been ghosted while dating someone. Or had an ex come back out of nowhere and then leave just as suddenly. This is for the people that feel like all of their friends are moving forward in life, but they are stuck doing the same thing they’ve always done. Successful, goal oriented 30 something people who feel like something is missing. 

This is a book about the dynamics of relationships with friends and hopeful partners. This is a story about the hopeless dating world that exists. Anyone who is dating in the 21st-century knows what it feels like to be ghosted by someone. Have them be a part of your life in such a big way and then they just disappear. 

Dolly Alderton truly knows how to write about the human experience. Nonfiction and fiction. I’ve read everything she’s written and I love the voice she writes with. There were so many moments in this novel where I knew and felt exactly what she was talking about. Whether it was about a friendship, a relationship or everything in between. The struggle with family and the struggle with self. I think there is something for everyone in this book, because it’s just so human!

His completely had me hooked from beginning to end.  I finished it in two days and loved every second. I swear I felt her heart and soul in these pages!

A journey of grief and self discovery. Of strong friendships and family. Of not the right time and falling in love. And of course just a touch of magic. 

Clementine and Iwan’s story is touching and will pull at your heartstrings! I loved the reveals and how story lines tied together.

The touch of magic, I believe is tied to grief or when the person needed it the most. And if you can jump on that then you won’t have questions about it. And really do all questions need to be to be answered? Or is that the touch of whimsy really all we need in a romance?
