It is a delightful read, full of quirky and loveable characters and, most importantly, copious references to wonderful books.

If you like Nicholas Sparks books than you will like this one.

A quote to remember: 'It is the secret fear that we are unlovable that isolates us but it is only because we are isolated that we think we are unlovable. Someday, you do not know when, you will be driving down a road and someday, you do not know when, he, or indeed she, will be there. You will be loved because for the first time in your life, you will truly not be alone. You will have chosen to not be alone.'
