Sarah is a fantastic main character - mom of two and at the beginning married to a man who is very successful in his career, but started to use gambling as a stress reliever and in doing so has gambled away everything they had. As I won't be spoiling the book a bit, as Sarah decides to leave the marriage, her husband dies - I won't tell you how, that is worth reading! So although Sarah is free from a horrible relationship and situation; she is now a single mom of two with no income and lots of debt. This is where the story begins!
Each character in this book was spot on! Sarah, the kids, the grandparents, "the Aunties", and so on were just written to a T. The ups and downs of the story were perfectly timed and couldn't contain my excitement when I was surprised by a few of Sarah's decisions. Although I am not usually a fan of books set in London with all the London speak, this one didn't make me feel left out of the joke - I honestly read it in two sittings!
