In the new additions to the series, we follow 3 siblings, Fliss and Harriet, and their brother Daniel. This one focuses on Daniel, and we also get Molly, his love interest’s, perspective. You learn what makes them laugh, what makes them tick and hints as to why they’re so scared of relationships.
Like previous books from Sara, the scene is perfectly set with locations in New York, where the scenes come to life thanks to the writing style being friendly and atmospheric. This trilogy is clearly going to have lots of doggy friends for us to meet as well as humans, and while I am a cat person, the two dogs in this book Brutus and Valentine, are totally adorable and complete characters in their own right, especially Brutus. It appears that it’s not just Humans that Sarah can write well.
I completely fell in love with Daniel, despite his wedding photo comment which I disagreed with. Even then it is hard to resist someone so charming and a complete gentleman, which is why it wasn’t hard to forgive him when he was less than honest about Brutus. The bond that grew between them was lovely to read.
I also liked Molly, but during part of the times she did annoy me with her insistence that she couldn’t fall in love. She loved Valentine, and while that is completely different, her lack of even consideration that she could fall in love with another human being, was frustrating. I understand she had bad experiences, but she was younger than me, or at least the same age, and there are plenty of people that haven’t found love yet. It is clearly obvious to see this from the outside though, whereas if I was in Molly’s shoes, I very may well feel the same. You are always your harshest critic.
I loved getting to know Fliss and Harriet a bit more, we did briefly meet them in the first three books, but getting this little deeper sneak peek at them make me sure that I will love the next two books in the series.
As if you couldn’t tell, I adore this book. It’s fun, romantic and the ideal book when you want to lift your mood and completely lose yourself in a book.
