Meet Tilda Wright…
Tilda has done everything she can to make her life neat, protected, tidy. No longer the girl who was scared of everything, whose family pushed her away, who hit rock bottom. Now she runs her life – as she does her successful business – with the utmost organization. As long as she keeps everyone at arm’s length, she will be fine. She will be safe.

But then a chance encounter with a man who’s fallen on hard times changes everything. Milo needs a break, and self-contained Tilda surprises herself by deciding she should help him. Just for a while. A few days at the most.

Maybe all he needs is someone to organize him, to help him clean up his act? She is sure she knows how to kick-start Milo into turning his life around.

What Tilda doesn’t know is that – with this single act of kindness – it might actually be her own life that’s about to change forever…

A totally gorgeous, heartbreaking and uplifting story, about friendship, trust, and finding love in unexpected places, perfect for fans of Beth Moran, Sarah Morgan and Faith Hogan.

I couldn't get enough of this book, whenever i wasn't reading it,  I was thinking about Tilda and Milo.

I found it hard to initially like Tilda but as you get to know her properly, she really grew into a wonderful main character. 

Once again Samantha Tonge has managed to balance big tough topics with tact and sensitivity, and a great deal of knowledge, along with a heartwarming and uplifting story that Will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy.

It's a masterclass of writing and storytelling, in a story that will get under your skin.

Watching as Tilda develops over the course of this book, slackening some of her routines while battling her inner demons was inspiring. And the Tilda we get to know fully is a truly lovely human being.

I do wonder if this book should be sponsored by Dettol, as Dettol is a huge part of this novel, and not in the way you may expect.  

Just a simply superb book, that I whole heartedly recommend. 

Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
