Review

"I was impressed by the characters: putting aside Harriet and Oliver's immediate infatuation, I liked them both as characters. Harriet's thoughtful and considerate and something of a restraining influence on Oliver, who can be a little headstrong. Jennifer and Roderick are very much of the brash nineties, but the person who stole my heart was little Hugo - I just wanted to give him a good listening to! And - there's a twist at the end which I don't think you'll see coming. I certainly didn't." (The Bookbag)
