I was tempted to read this book purely by the gorgeous cover and knowing that I have enjoyed Fiona Collins light hearted rom-coms in the past.

What I didn't anticipate having not really read the blurb was just how impressive this book would be, and just how much depth there is to it.

It's the story of a re-awakening for both Prue and her father Vince. They have both been floundering for many years and not really living at all, just barely existing and barely communicating. Prue has a birthmark on her cheek that makes her self conscious and really effects her confidence and self worth. Vince, became blind when Prue was only 10 years old, and is allergic to dogs, so can no longer have a guide dog.

Slowly they start to go on days out into London together with various effects. And the change in both of them is gradual but its great character development, and felt realistic.

We learn about some horrible things that have happened in Prue's past which contributed to her trying to hide from the world. We discover just was happened to her mother too. There is a rebuilding of emotional connections and there is the possibility of love if she is brave enough.

Certainly an eye opening account of what life with a blind person could be , and I can only guess that large amounts of research were involved.

This is a touching and heartwarming book and it completely captured my imagination and got me thinking.

Thank you to Transworld and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily. 2 s Lauren58 9

This beautiful story is as beautiful as the cover, just as IÂ’d hoped. An extremely heart warming and comforting read, with stunning descriptions. In the book, Prue and her dad decide to get off their butts and rediscover the London Vince once knew, many years ago. Prue is now his eyes, they go on many day trips with Prue describing their surroundings along the way. FionaÂ’s writing is so vibrant and vivid, it really transports you in to their world, I felt as though I was strolling around London next to them. ?

It has elements of romance, friendship, and family relationships. My first book from Fiona Collins, a great summer read!
