Thanks so much to the publisher and netgalley for sending me this book to review xx

this wasn’t my usual type of book but I was pleasantly surprised at the content of this story of a marriage breakdown and the effect it has on the children.

It is a well written story of love, loss, misunderstandings and so much more

Meno canino e più umano del solito, questo libro di Lucy Dillon ci fa capire che non siamo tutti uguali, che i clichè di paternità e maternità, di amore di coppia o divertimento non valgono per tutti allo stesso modo, ma che un piccolo amico peloso può essere di grande stimolo e aiuto per un cucciolo d'uomo in difficoltà (

Epigraph

Dedication

For Scott, a Happy Ever After man, right down to the Border Terrier.

First words

Nancy clutched her bag of caramelised nuts and gazed out at the lights dancing between the buildings on either side of Oxford Street, glittering in the dark sky like gold and silver stars, while hundreds of thousands of people hurried along the pavements beneath them.
