Summary

Dan and Gemma have found their dream first home, but the asking price is the stuff of nightmares. The only way they'll ever save for a deposit is by returning, rent free, to Dan's childhood home. Obviously no one wants to move back into a bedroom still adorned with Kylie posters, with a mother whose culinary skills are noted for their spectacular gastrointestinal effects. But it's for only six months. Even they can manage that. Surely.

The love shack

As usual Jane Costello is superb a lovely read. My only criticism is a little swearing so I will no let my grand daughter listen to it as I really don't think there was any need for it.

Easy listen

Not much to like or dislike. An easy listen, quite dull at times then a couple of bits where I laugh out loud. A bit of a waste of my credit.

Ok story but nothing special (sorry to say!)

I listened to the end as I don't like not to finish books however it wasn't particularly riveting. You could see just about everything coming a mile off. Slow story but nice characters. I wouldn't recommend to a friend though.

Great gentle escape

A book to make you laugh out loud with its great use of everyday language. Escapism chick lit at its best.

Enjoyable but so lightweight

Currently going through a torturous house purchase as I Was listening to this, stuck with it as it seemed to mirror so much of what I was coping with too. Nice, lightweight tale, really well performed by a male and female actor. Just the characters were too good to be true, but if you suspend disbelief, it's very enjoyable.
