A crazy New York romance, not that the city matters for this is about getting out of a rut and embracing the new, however terrifying. It is very charming, it is also Meg Rosoff’s first adult novel and very suitable for the ‘nearly grown-up’ too. Light, humorous, predictable and short, it’s a great curl-up, warm read.
Jonathan’s brother is off to Dubai for six months and leaves his collie and spaniel for Jonathan to look after in his tiny New York apartment. These are well trained, highly intelligent and lovable creatures who seem to know Jonathan better than he knows himself and eventually take his wellbeing into their control.
Then Jonathan realises that nothing will happen in his life unless he gets off his arse and does something to make it happen. Consequently the last quarter of the book is pure farce. Great fun. ~ Sarah Broadhurst
