Nicola Gill's previous novel, ‘Swimming for Beginners’, reached number 12 on the Kindle bestseller list and I suspect this, her latest book “That’s Just Perfect” will be reaching the top spot for sure. Nothing escapes you from real life, like a feel good, romantic comedy with heartwarming and poignant themes. 

 

The main characters are all dysfunctional in their own way, flawed and facing individual demons but due to the author’s character deeply layered development of them, you get to see their real hearts and that the issues they are facing are only due to unfortunate (if self-inflicted) circumstances. Reading their journeys was pure pleasure and with some funny scenes, sentimental moments and satisfying conclusions, I thoroughly enjoyed this well written story.  With a superbly played cat that was the star of the show for me, this rounded up the cast of characters perfectly, I mean who doesn’t talk to their cat/pets like they can hear them and expect answers?! 

 

Primary school teachers will certainly relate to the many parents quirks about their children, the older generation will understand the concerns on re-starting dating and dad’s will no doubt recognise the issues on saying and doing the right things to estranged daughters, so there’s something for everyone, any circumstance, any age…. 

 

Perfect for fans of Beth O'Leary and Sophie Kinsella, this modern and humorous novel about multigenerational family life and their relationships, kept me entertained for hours and I can happily recommend “That’s Just Perfect”.
