Yet another book from my growing list of recommendations from Real Simple magazine. I started this book on May 1 and finished it on May 7.
Real Simple described it as a witty rom-com.
"Lucy is a 40-something white mother of two. Joseph is a 22-year old black aspiring DJ. When they meet at the London butcher shop where Joseph works, they're caught off-guard by their feelings for each other, and nearly as baffled by their awkward courtship as their wide-eyed friends and family are. [This book] is a sweet and funny testament to the wonderful things that happen when you allow yourself to follow your heart."
Yes, that does describe the book in a nutshell. However, I wasn't as enthralled and engrossed in this book as I thought I would be. The writing style seemed disjointed and rather cliché at times. The dialogue felt forced and it was difficult to tell who was saying what.
I thought this would be a fun, witty rom-com, as the Real Simple review said. It fell short and flat for me.
