Comments from BDS Reviewers:

"This is a lovely light read, showing the value of friendships, and the importance of being open to new ideas and new people".

"Yes, I would definitely recommend it. It was funny and thoughtful, covering a lot of serious themes - marital betrayal, ageing, family dysfunction and alcoholism".

"I did find reading the binary pronouns a little confusing initially but once I got used to them/their, it was easy reading".

"The baking and music sections at the end were a great idea. Liked the humour too".

"It's sad at times but also filled with love and humour".

"An easy read with a message to be kind to everyone".
