‘It was lovely to be reunited with Rosa and her beloved dog, Hot. I can’t sing Nicola May’s praises enough for writing this wonderful, heartwarming series’

Broadbean’s Books

‘I loved every single word of this book. I just couldn’t get enough of it. There are so many story lines, deeper issues, funny moments and heart-warming moments. If you haven’t read anything from this series yet, this could be read as a standalone but honestly go back and read from the first one. All three books are incredibly strong, and just really impressive’
