I was delighted to receive a copy of this book as a runner up in the recent competition. Before you even begin to read it this book has a very attractive cover. I was hooked from the first page. It is a story about life and love and the things we can sometimes take for granted but that make life worthwhile. The story has two 'main' characters at different ends of the age spectrum, they come to form a great friendship in their efforts to stop the closure of the local Lido. The places and characters in the book bring it alive, you can picture in your mind exactly what the places are like. It is a long time since I have gone through a book so quickly and I am literally sad to have finished it as I have been dipping into it at every available moment over the last few days. A great read.
