The start of this book was very strong, the connection between the two main characters was spot on and despite this being an emotional subject, the book was really funny. Neither the title or subject matter in this new book interested me much, so I was a little worried about the outcome, especially after feeling Hollywood Girlfriend didn't reach that bar a few months ago. ![]() When it comes to a Tudeski book and after his first few books were a massive success in my eyes, the bar raised couldn't be much higher. I was asked by Jimmy's people to read this a few days before its release and as always, I was more than happy to give it a go and write a review for it. ![]()
